Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 132

[Miro’s Watch Party Highlights??]
(Link)
“It’s out, of course, LOL.”

• What’d they watch?
    ㄴ Return.
    ㄴ Oh, that one? LOL.
• Aren’t watch parties just lazy content?
    ㄴ Totally.

[What’s with this foreigner? How much did they buy?]
Still can’t believe Miro has snacks left from that Japanese friend’s haul.

• They really bought a ton.
• From the pictures, doesn’t look like they’d eat much themselves.
    ㄴ There are pictures? Isn’t Miro a VTuber?
    ㄴ LOL, Japanese fans dig up everything.
      ㄴ Are they pretty?
        ㄴ Top 1% tier VTuber.
        ㄴ Someone dig up Miro’s red-pill moment too.
        ㄴ No one’s cracked Miro yet, LOL.
• Miro probably just doesn’t eat much.
    ㄴ That checks out.
    ㄴ Yeah, they don’t snack much at all.
      ㄴ Based on the last upper-body cam stream, they look like they work out.

[Miro Ate Tteokbokki with a Younger Friend??]

• Younger friend = high schooler??
    ㄴ If they’re younger than Miro, they’re either 20 or a high schooler.
    ㄴ Wait, wasn’t it a guy?
      ㄴ What kind of guy eats tteokbokki with Miro?
        ㄴ True, LOL.
• I want to be Miro’s younger friend, too.
    ㄴ How old are you?
    ㄴ 32.
    ㄴ ???
      ㄴ LOL, you were 20 when Miro was in elementary school.

[This Movie’s CGI Slaps]
I’m an actual astronaut, and the visuals are S-tier.

• Yeah, the visuals are award-worthy.
• As an SF flick, they put a lot into the effects.

[This Handsome Guy Makes Me Sick]

• You don’t even need to say it; we know who you mean.

[Miro Talks Too Much During Movies??]
Seriously, it’s like watching with that one friend who won’t shut up.

• LOL, true.
• Miro’s a chatterbox, for sure.
• Can’t focus at all.

[Did Miro Already Watch This??]
They keep predicting what’ll happen, and they’re always right.

• Spoilers, much?
• But it’s kind of obvious.
• This movie’s a cliché. It’s all about the actors and the visuals.

[Bet Miro’s Gonna Cry?]
This movie does hit the feels at points.

• Will they?
    ㄴ LOL, for sure.
• If Miro cries, I’ll send them a burger.
    ㄴ Hold my fries.

[Miro Cried LOL]
This clown kept analyzing the movie like a pro critic and then sniffled like a baby.

• No way?
• Yup, totally real. (Link)
    ㄴ WHY is it real?

[??? “Here’s where you’re supposed to cry.”]
(Miro sniffling clip)
They actually cried. LOL.

• This is hilarious.
• Kept calling it cliché, but look at them now.
• To be fair, Ji-yoon’s scenes do hit hard.

[Burger Time]
(Burger gift card)
(Burger gift card)
“Miro, you softie, here’s a burger for your tears.”

• Thanks!
• 77 laughs.
• Legendary meltdown, LOL.

[Miro’s Voice is So Good When They’re Sniffling]
Even with a stuffy nose, they sound great.

• Honestly, yeah.
• Return might be the GOAT of cinema.

After finishing the recording for “Silent Lake” at Hyunsoo’s studio, quite a bit of time had passed.

In the interim, I’d accomplished a lot:

• Prepped for the group’s live year-end recording.
• Hosted another promo stream for Girl Covenant.
• Even returned to Hyunsoo’s studio to finish the feature track recording.

But still…

“So, when’s the MV going to be done again?”
[“Sorry… we’ve been trying to push the quality as high as possible.”]

Winter had fully set in. The leaves had long since fallen, yet the music video wasn’t ready.

“No need to apologize, but when do you think we’ll announce it?”
[“Since we’re late anyway, how about right after the year-end live?”]
“Right after?”
[“Yes, we could reveal the music video immediately after the performance.”]

It was a tempting idea. Releasing it at the peak of attention would guarantee a strong start.
But…

“Wouldn’t it be better to release it before the live event?”
[“Before?”]
“If I draw attention with the original track, more people might watch the live.”

The live’s viewership would be capped in real-time.
Boosting interest beforehand would maximize the audience.

[“You’re right. In that case, performing the song during the live could be a great move.”]
“Yeah, no. That’s not happening.”

Hyunsoo’s feature section was too tough to manage live.
Plus, having a male guest perform his part would overshadow the group’s dynamic.

“No way. I’m already swamped from prepping the choreography for the group songs.”
[“The live prep’s that rough?”]
“It’s killing me.”

Juggling solo work was one thing, but coordinating with others was chaos.
Choreography, stage blocking—it was all-consuming.

[“You’re almost done, though, right?”]
“Almost.”

As grueling as it’s been, the sense of progress was undeniable.
This was the grind of being part of a debut generation.

“Speaking of next year, 2nd-gen debuts are around the corner.”
[“Everyone’s nervous but excited.”]

The thought made me reflect on my own debut.
The uncertainty, the excitement… It all felt like a lifetime ago.
Looking back, diving into VTubing had been one of my best decisions.

[“How about the notice I sent earlier?”]
“It’s just an announcement, right?”
[“Doesn’t it make you feel anything? Excitement, maybe?”]
“I’ll save my feelings for the live event itself.”

Glancing at the monitor, I read the notification one last time.

It was official:
The year-end live was happening.

“Time to finish strong.”
