Episode 702 – Can I help you with your muscles? (1)

Late morning, Lee Kyung-bok’s house.

It was a day off from broadcasting, but he finished getting ready to go out.

‘Well, I have plenty of time.’

He adjusted his clothes and looked at the game displayed as a hologram.

Miniature sailing ships were sailing and automatically engaging in battles with pirates.

‘The daily quest just ended.’

It was the game he had been advertising, Age of Oceans, which supported cross-platform.

The commercial ended a long time ago, but there was a reason why Lee Kyung-bok continued playing the game, even if it was on auto-play.

“I heard this kid has a good appetite too.”

He checked the ‘pet items’ in the store with a happy smile. It was to buy food and snacks for the Permusae.

Although you can bring your Permusae to the Capsule Studio, you can only train and manage them in the game.

[>Arrived.]

As he watched the magpie pecking at the seed, a message appeared before his eyes.

The manager was Park Joo-ho.

Lee Kyung-bok opened his eyes wide and went straight down to the parking lot.

“Are you here?”

“Hey, I told you to text me before you get there.”

“I have to be prepared. It’s better for me to wait in the car than for you to just stand there waiting.”

At Park Joo-ho’s words, Lee Kyung-bok shook his head with laughter.

“Ugh, I don’t know why our company’s employees don’t listen to their boss.”

“This is the employee you chose. You have to be a good guy.”

The two friends joked around with each other and got into the car. Park Joo-ho displayed an email as a hologram before leaving.

“What is this? Why are there so many numbers?”

“This is an email from Cap Company. It’s the aggregated sales of voice figures.”

Lee Kyung-bok’s eyes widened at that answer. Park Joo-ho stepped on the accelerator with a smile.

“One, ten, hundred, thousand… No, it’s already over two million?”

“no.”

“No?”

“That’s the Korean sales figure. Scroll down further.”

Lee Kyung-bok blinked for a moment and slowly scrolled down. Then, there were more numbers listed all the way down.

“The bottom number is the total worldwide sales.”

“Then… 8.23 ​​million? Is this correct?”

Park Joo-ho’s smile deepened at the sight of his friend looking bewildered.

“Of course. The initial quantity prepared by the company was 3 million, but it has already exceeded twice that amount. That’s why I made the payment even though there was a notice that delivery might be delayed.”

“No, but this… didn’t it start this morning? Sales started after the PPL event ended, right?”

“Yes. It’s been about… four hours now.”

Park Joo-ho checked the time and shrugged.

“That’s not the end, it’ll probably increase further. And look down a bit further.”

“Huh? What? What else is there!?”

The mail didn’t end there.

Lee Kyung-bok’s eyes narrowed at the newly displayed numbers below.

“30% and 75%? What are these?”

“This is an explanation of why the initial quantity was set at 3 million. Statistically, the sales ratio of goods is 30% of game sales if loyalty is high. It is usually between 10% and 20%.”

“Oh, then?”

“Yes. They also predicted that this work would sell 10 million copies upon its release. In fact, it was roughly the same.”

“Oh, so the number over 11 million here is the sales of Bark 2?”

“Yes, but the demand for goods is completely beyond expectations. It’s about 2.5 times different.”

Lee Kyung-bok couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration and laugh at Park Joo-ho’s explanation.

“Huh, to this extent…”

He had no desire to compare the support and affection he received from his fans to anything else. However, he could not deny the reality.

Numbers were the law of honesty.

“…I like something better than that.”

“uh?”

Park Joo-ho also laughed at the sight of his friend being happy. But that wasn’t the only reason he was satisfied.

“That data is confidential. Of course, it’s not completely confidential, and it will be disclosed later when the performance is announced. But at least not now.”

“Why all of a sudden…? Huh?”

“Yeah, but Cap Company gave us that information. You know what that means.”

“Yes, because we are business partners!”

Lee Kyung-bok answered in a cheerful voice.

Since we worked together, isn’t it natural to share the results? This was a part that confirmed that Team Perfect was on equal footing with the company.

“That’s… um, right. You’re right.”

Park Joo-ho was about to add something to that, but then nodded his head.

‘… It seems like they also had the intention of appealing to you.’

In Park Joo-ho’s view, the company did not simply intend to share its achievements. There is additional information that supports that view.

‘30%. The fact that they used a popular IP as a standard means that they overestimated your value. Bark 1 didn’t have any goods to show off Bark’s IP.’

All actions of a company are linked to its own interests. Park Joo-ho intuitively felt the intention by looking at the attached materials and forms in the email.

‘The excess of existing statistics means the synergy of collaboration with our company. If we are to collaborate with another company, we should use our company as the standard. If the results are expected to be lower than that, we will reject it and wait for Cap Company.’

However, Park Joo-ho did not reveal his thoughts to his friend.

“Your intuition is never wrong. I’m glad we did this collaboration.”

“It was really fun.”

The bright smile is back.

Because Lee Kyung-bok didn’t need such complicated calculations.

“I think it would be fun to plan content with Mindungsan.”

Meeting scheduled for today.

It was a new challenge for Lee Kyung-bok.

“If that’s what you say, then yes.”

Park Joo-ho had no worries.

Early afternoon, Muscle Gallery Gym.

The two people who arrived at the meeting place were able to receive a warm welcome from Mindungsan and the Muscle Gallery team members.

“Wow! Purple! Really! I really wanted to see you!”

“Wow, wow…! This is crazy in person….”

“Wow, your forearms are amazing.”

His teammates clapped and whispered behind him as he ran around with his fake beard fluttering.

Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho greeted him with a smile.

“Oh, thank you for asking me to do so, but I’m really late. I’m really happy to see you too.”

“Thank you for inviting me. But by any chance… are you filming right now?”

Park Joo-ho asked, turning his gaze slightly to find the camera. Mindungsan immediately waved his hand at him.

“No, no! I’m so! Really so happy that I’m a little nervous.”

“Ahaha, it’s okay. I’m also a bit excited right now. No, I never thought I’d be the one to see Mindungsanchae, who I’d only seen on YouTube…”

“Wow, what the heck! Are you really watching our channel!?”

Mindungsan jumped again.

The official name is Muscle Gallery Gym, but fans call it ‘Mindungsanchae’.

“Of course. I really learned a lot about exercise methods.”

“Huh, this isn’t lip service. Then, would you like to take a quick look around before the meeting…?”

“Oh, that’s good! That’s good!”

Park Joo-ho and his teammates burst into laughter at the conversation between the two. Even though it was clearly their first meeting, there was no awkwardness.

“Wow… the facilities are really great.”

“Oh, you invested a lot. Oh, if you don’t mind, Purple, you can come too. You’re always welcome. Just register your fingerprints and we’ll be open 24 hours a day!”

“Oh, if this were closer to me, I would come here often, but it’s a bit far from my house. Mindungsan said the same thing, right? The closest gym is the best.”

“Oh… That’s right? Tsk, the people here are coming out…”

The tense atmosphere between the two people was instantly broken. After watching the show, everyone entered the conference room.

“Well! We really put a lot of thought into deciding what kind of content to produce with Purple at our Muscle Gallery.”

Mindungsan brought up the main topic, calling attention to it.

“Originally, I was going to organize it and send it to you by email, but this is content that requires physical exertion, right? So I thought it would be helpful for you to check out the filming environment yourself, so I invited you to come and see it.”

“Oh, yes, yes. Thank you again for inviting me. It definitely feels better when I see it with my own eyes.”

The Muscle Gallery team members were also relieved by Lee Kyung-bok’s agreement. Mindungsan also nodded while holding both hands in his.

“Oh, thank you for your advice. Now, we’ll introduce what we’ve prepared. But before that, there’s something I’d like to ask you in advance.”

“Oh, please speak more comfortably.”

“No, I’m so grateful for this… Ahem, anyway, here’s the question. Purple, you do live broadcasts, right? We do stream sometimes, but Qtube is our main channel.”

“Oh, that’s right. We also record things like vlogs, but… the main thing is the live broadcast.”

Perfect Play and Muscle Gallery.

Although they both run YouTube channels, their methods of creating content are completely different.

‘I thought Gyeongbok was like that too, but of course he was a green room?’

Park Joo-ho, who was listening, rolled his eyes. On the way here, he had a conversation with Lee Kyung-bok about what kind of content he was looking forward to.

“Ah, this… Actually, if we follow the original plan, wouldn’t it be right to just prepare the recording? But then again, aren’t I a pervert? I watched the entire Bark 2 broadcast!”

“Huh? Oh, thank you.”

“I don’t know about the other guests, but I think it’s a shame for Purple-nim not to do a live performance. So I’d like to ask for her opinion. If Purple-nim could choose between recording and doing a live performance! I’d like to proceed in that direction.”

As Mindungsan finished speaking in a heated voice, one of the team members raised his hand.

“There is a reason why we asked this question before introducing the content we prepared.”

“Oh, that’s right. I didn’t say that. After seeing what we’ve prepared, I don’t think Purple-sama will ignore it. I don’t think she’ll do it like that.”

After finishing the explanation, everyone turned their attention to Lee Kyung-bok. He rolled his eyes for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“I really appreciate your consideration. I really enjoy interacting with viewers live.”

“Ah, I see! Then…?”

Mindungsan nodded as if he had expected it. However, Lee Gyeongbok’s answer was not over yet.

“But it’s not just our viewers who are watching this broadcast, right? I’m a bit concerned about only doing the live broadcast for the sake of Mindungsan’s viewers.”

“Yes? Then…?”

Everyone looked at each other for the following answer. Lee Kyung-bok smiled and asked.

“Do you have any plans for the future?”

“Oh, I left everything empty today. That’s why no members came.”

The reason Muscle Gallery wanted to choose between the two was because of time. Even though the videos uploaded to YouTube are a few dozen minutes long, the production process was not short.

Even excluding editing, the time it took from content meeting to filming was considerable. In fact, if it wasn’t live, it could take longer because re-filming was possible.

“I’m sure everyone likes the content you’ve prepared. Can’t I just choose?”

“That’s… right?”

“Okay then. I’ll do both.”

“No, both the recording and the live?”

“Yes. Since I have the day off today, we can record it and do it live tomorrow.”

But that situation wasn’t a problem for Lee Kyung-bok at all.

“I make decisions quickly.”

There was no time wasted on him.

Late afternoon, Fuzzy Day fan cafe.

Since today is a day without broadcasting, fans are suffering from famine(?).

[Why isn’t there NEW in the broadcast notice? Is it a bug?]

[I was so freaked out yesterday that I’m really suffering from the aftereffects ㅠ]

[Godple ate the rice cakes and his stomach got bigger!]

[Why doesn’t Godcom use rocket delivery? Shouldn’t it be delivered on the same day?]

[The delivery schedule is still pending, so I’m just crying ㅠㅠㅠ]

[Godcom, stop short selling figures! (I bought it myself)]

However, it was not the case that a broadcast schedule that did not exist before was created just because the child was being teased. As a result, fans could only imagine the next broadcast.

[What game are we playing next?]

[This collaboration is so awesome, I think I’ll be getting a lot of homework, lol]

[There’s no news of new releases for something like that, lol]

[No, it’s not homework, it’s fuzzy day merger]

[Huh? Perfficial is out!?]

Of course, it wasn’t an unfounded imagination. If you watched the broadcast without missing anything, you could have guessed it to some extent.

[Oh lol I made a bet on MBTI while watching the vlog lol]

[Ekle Kyung did mention it briefly on the show lol]

[ㅇㅇ Members said they will merge once they finish Bark 2]

[So tomorrow is too soon?]

[Even if I work hard today, I have to take a day off ㅋㅋㅋ]

[HOXY So our hyung is taking a break for 2 days in a row?]

[Go! Where did you get the swear words from!]

However, the fans refrained from making ominous(?) guesses. This made everyone more curious.

Fans soon realized that it wasn’t just the fan cafe and crew members they had to check up on.

[Oh! Upload a photo to Pertellagram!]

News was delivered through Lee Kyung-bok’s personal SNS, Stellagram. Fans rushed there as soon as they saw it.

[(picture)]

[#Going to meet you now]

The content itself was simple.

[-??????]

[-What? What does it imply?]

[-Hyung? You went to work out because you had a break?]

[-I feel like I’ve seen this place somewhere…?]

[-Eww! #We have to add Ounwan!] [-Our hyung is a SNS newbie, lol]

At first glance, it looked like nothing more than a fitness center. However, those with a keen eye for detail had a different reaction.

[-What? Isn’t this Mindungsanchae?]

[-Wow lol Mindungsan Ham Seongbulgak?]

[-5252, Are we finally meeting?]

[-Oh my gosh, it’s Mindungsanchae, lol]

[-7 o’clock corner over thereㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[-Is that a bald head wearing leggings in the mirror!?]

For those who subscribed to Muscle Gallery, the composition and exercise equipment were familiar. In addition, there was even the appearance of Mindungsan Mountain, which was hidden like a find-the-difference game.

Everyone felt much more at ease.

As the old saying goes:

[-The big one is coming! The big one is coming! The big one is coming!]

[-Anyway, there is no ‘lack’!]

[-Muscle Gallery X Perfect Play]

[-???: What happens when the collaboration ends?]

[-???: Don’t you know? Another collaboration is starting!]

[-This supplement was a protein supplement, right?]

Blessings come to those who endure.
