I Became a Member of My Favorite Group! - Chapter 28

Recently, the Domestic VTuber Gallery, commonly known as the VTuber Gallery (VTGal), has been quite lively.

There are several reasons for this, but the biggest one is undoubtedly the existence of Blue LUV, a new virtual group launched by the corporate streamer Ha-neul-bom.

However, there’s another reason why VTGal has become so noisy.

It’s the controversy surrounding a Clipping channel called BlueOshi, which edits and uploads clips of Blue LUV.

Most clippers focus on their favorite VTuber, their so-called “oshi,” when uploading videos.

However, even if they declare a VTuber as their oshi, there’s usually a certain line they don’t cross.

For example, let’s say there’s a clipper who declares Lucretia, a member of Blue LUV, as their oshi.

Even if they name their channel “Lucretia’s Biggest Fan,” it’s rare for them to upload only Lucretia’s videos.

Even if they declare that member as their oshi, it’s common for them to upload videos of all members of the group periodically.

But this BlueOshi clipper was different.

As the channel name suggests, this clipper declared the entire Blue LUV group as their oshi and, from the very first day of debut, uploaded videos of overwhelming quality, garnering massive attention in the community.

Their work speed was also incredible, uploading edited versions of broadcasts that ended around 6-7 PM by 2 AM.

And that’s two videos, one for each member.

So, the users of VTGal naturally believed that the video for Lulu, who debuted on the last day, would be uploaded soon.

Although the video didn’t come out that night, they assumed there was some reason.

But even after two days, Lulu’s video still hadn’t been uploaded.

Even though the next day’s live broadcasts of the other members had their edited versions uploaded!

In other words, it was a situation where Lulu was being blatantly excluded.

In response, VTGal users started leaving comments on the channel, demanding an explanation.

Since no detailed reason had been revealed yet, most of the comments were polite.

‘When will Lulu-chan’s video be uploaded?’

‘Owner, we need Lulu-chan’s video urgently.’

‘You’re not abandoning Lulu-chan, are you?’ and so on.

But then, as if adding fuel to the fire, an incident occurred this morning.

Comments questioning the situation started getting deleted one by one.

‘Why are you deleting comments?’

‘Do you have something against Lulu-chan?’

‘At least give us a reason.’

In response, VTGal users rushed back, demanding an explanation in a harsher tone.

That’s what happened up until this morning.

And then, this afternoon, another incident occurred.

Title: What’s up with this guy? Is this supposed to be an explanation?

Seriously, this is ridiculous.

It was obvious that comments were being deleted, but when I asked about it, they said they didn’t delete anything, so I got mad and demanded an explanation again.

And then they said they were drinking with friends last night and might’ve made a mistake?

What kind of excuse is that?

I’ve never seen a clipper who demands leniency because they were drunk.

• LMAOOOOOOOO Legendary
  • Seriously, I’m speechless. Is this supposed to be an explanation?
    • Well, they were really drunk, so it’s possible, right?
      • How much of a lightweight do you have to be to get that drunk from chicken and beer?
• I’m not trying to defend them, but my comment got deleted too, so it might be true.
  • What did your comment say?
    • Just something like ‘I want to lick Lilis-chan’s armpits.’
      • You’re lucky you didn’t get banned, you creep.
• Like the comment above, even comments with no content got deleted.
  • Really? Got proof?
    • (Link) Check out what other VTuber fans posted. They might’ve accidentally deleted stuff while drunk and trying to give hearts.
      • Should I believe this?
• Just wait and see… If they don’t upload it, there’s nothing we can do.
  • I mean, yeah, but it’s still annoying. It’s not like they’re discriminating or anything.
    • There are clippers like that… Don’t get too worked up, you’re only hurting yourself.
      • Sigh.

The reactions of VTGal users to this so-called “public opinion suppression” were divided.

‘They deliberately deleted other comments and then used being drunk as an excuse.’

Or, ‘They were managing comments while drunk and made a mistake.’

Either way, the point is that it’s hard to fully ignite the flames over this.

Even if the clipper genuinely doesn’t feel any attraction to Lulu and thus doesn’t upload her videos,

Unless they openly admit it, it’s hard for viewers to pick a fight over it.

So, in the end, the burning issue fizzled out somewhat.

But the embers haven’t completely died out.

As is often the case with such topics, they can flare up again with the right kindling.

Title: Honestly, it’s annoying, but the video quality is insane lol

Author: VTGal Ghost

Even the haters in VTGal can’t deny the video quality lol

• Is this what they call devilish talent or something?
  • Seriously lol

On the other hand, some people couldn’t unsubscribe because there was no alternative.

This is proof of how exceptional Da-jeong’s video quality is.

Today is the long-awaited first broadcast after debut.

With a pounding heart, I turned on the broadcast just like on the first day.

“Cherries, Hai-Lu~. Did you all have a good day?”

• Lulu-chan, I missed you… ㅠㅠ
• I thought you’d come yesterday…

Ah, right.

I was the only one who didn’t stream yesterday.

Since we’re taking a break the day after debut and starting broadcasts the day after that,

It’s only natural that I, who debuted the day before yesterday, didn’t stream yesterday.

Though I’m sure the Cherries were disappointed.

“Hehe, sorry. But I’m here today, so don’t be too sad, everyone.”

• So are you streaming late today?
• Two King Kongsㅐㅐㅐㅐㅐ
• What time are you ending today?

“Today? Probably around 12 AM. It’s hard to go too late because the sound from my house leaks outside.”

The walls are thin, and the house is old, so there’s nothing I can do.

Once, the grandmother next door jokingly said, ‘I can even hear you farting at home.’

I don’t know if she was serious, though.

• Why not install a soundproof booth?
• Seriously, just install a soundproof booth.
• Let’s go bug the CEO about it 

“How can I say that to the CEO? I’ll just work hard and install it myself.”

• Kyaaaaa
• Work hard and earn a lot fr
• Let’s go, rich Lulu-chan~

Hehe.

Seeing everyone cheer me on gives me strength.

Actually, I have enough money from the contract to install a soundproof booth.

It’s just that it’s practically all my savings, so I’m hesitant to spend it.

Someday, the time will come, right?

Trying to stay positive, I asked the Cherries about their daily lives.

“So, what did you all do while I was gone? You watched our members’ streams, right? You didn’t look elsewhere, did you? Right?”

• Huh?
• I did watch, but…
• Lulu-chan, you’re kinda scary trembling
• Why does this feel like an interrogation?

Oh, come on, an interrogation?

I’m just making sure you didn’t waste time on other streams instead of our Blue LUV members.

“I can tolerate you not watching my streams. But I can’t tolerate you not watching our Blue LUV members’ streams!”

• ?
• Huh?
• What does that mean?

• The concept is solid lol
• Should we call this yandere? trembling
• You’re a Blue LUV fan too lol

Hmph, do you all think this is a joke?

This won’t do.

I need to make a proper threat this time.

“You all understand, right? It’s fine if you don’t watch my streams, but you have to watch our Blue LUV members’ streams! If you don’t, I’ll revoke your Cherry status?!”

• Cherry status sounds weird.
• Is this for real?
• I’ve never seen a VTuber who tells people to watch other members instead of themselves lol
• Wasn’t the whole ‘fanning over the members’ thing just a concept?

“A concept?! Are you belittling my love for Blue LUV right now?! Who just typed that in chat! I need to catch them.”

How dare they mock my sincerity.

Even if they’re Cherries, I can’t let this slide, so I immediately started scanning the chat.

Then, I found the viewer in question and gave them the smallest punishment: a 5-minute chat ban, as an example.

“Today, I’ll let you off with a 5-minute ban, but next time, I won’t be so lenient! Got it?”

• She actually gave a chat ban lol
• Don’t mock her, guys lol
• Your Honor, I didn’t say anything sob sob
• How serious is she about this? lol

I’m being completely serious.

It seems the Cherries all think I’m doing this as part of a concept.

I’m disappointed that my genuine love isn’t getting through. Disappointed.

[‘Lulu-chanKwangKwangKa’ has donated 1,000 won for snacks!]

• So, what did Lulu-chan do yesterday during her break?

As I clicked my tongue and shook my head,

The Cherries turned the tables and asked about my day yesterday.

Well, I mostly spent it editing the members’ videos, but I can’t say that…

Let’s just keep it simple and move on.

“Yesterday, I went out with the members to celebrate our debut. But since it was only my second time drinking, I got really drunk… When I woke up, it was already lunchtime.”

• What snacks did you have?
• Sounds like you drank a lot lol
• Next time, bring some hangover cure.

“We had chicken as a snack. It was my first time trying chicken and beer, and it was way more delicious than I expected. The apple beer went down so smoothly.”

• Huh… Is apple beer even alcohol? Tsk tsk
• Wait, isn’t a four-year-old drinking alcohol?
• We should report that place to the authorities…

The viewers, remembering that my character is four years old, seized the opportunity to attack.

But hehe, I’ve prepared an excuse for this exact situation.

Don’t underestimate me!

“Axolotls are considered adults at four years old, so it’s fine for me to drink alcohol! Ahem.”

• Ah lol
• Then it’s all good lol
• The way she puffs up her chest is so cute lol

“Hey, I said no calling me cute?!”

There was one annoying comment, but I decided to let it slide today.

[‘Lulu-chanKwangKwangKa’ has donated 1,000 won for snacks!]

• Looks like someone here also blacks out after drinking beer 

I tilted my head at the sudden donation.

I don’t know who it is, but it seems there’s someone else as weak to alcohol as I am.

Jia unnie also said it was her first time seeing someone black out from beer.

Well.

There’s probably at least one other person like me in the world.

It’s not that surprising.

That’s how it is.
