The 4th Generation Chaebol YouTuber

First, I sent an email to Sangsik.

– Thank you for congratulating me.

“After dealing with common sense, we meet the real villain, right?”

the criminal said

“There is such a thing… And for some reason, it seems that a kid named Young-gun will keep in touch even if he chews it once or twice.”

“ah. Kuck.”

Beomsu and Heeyeon laughed at my words.

“It’s a party for 1 million subscribers today, and in the end, one more thing has happened.”

“Aren’t you thankful that the next video materials are coming to commemorate 1 million?”

“I see… I heard that being busy when you were young was good.”

“That’s a bit of an old man’s word.”

Beom-soo and I were exchanging, and Hee-yeon, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth.

“First of all, there is something to do before the event ends today.”

“huh? What.”

When I asked, Heeyeon smiled and answered.

Come to think of it, the spirit of alcohol is still buried in his tone and facial expression.

“Apply for the Gold Button.”

“ah!”

“Wow!”

However, his mind was much clearer than Beom-soo or me. I almost forgot to do the most important thing.

“And, say that the 1 million event will be done when the gold button arrives. That will give you more time to prepare.”

“yes. yes. All right.”

Hee-yeon’s tone was funny, so Beom-su and I laughed and bent our backs as we answered.

* * *

“hello. Common sense.”

Contrary to the e-mail, which was dotted with half-spoken words, a handsome man appeared and greeted politely.

Age is around mid 30’s.

His face is covered by a mask, but he looks like he’ll do well in his studies with horn-rimmed glasses.

It was a pretty neat look.

It’s a channel that usually plays the data screen and explains it with narration, so the operator’s face was not exposed to the video as far as I know.

“ah. Nice to meet you. I am the operator of the ‘Anil’ channel.”

Common sense would not be his real name anyway.

So I guess this self-introduction will suffice.

“yes. Mr. Perma.”

“Perma?”

“You’re wearing a purple mask and coming out. ‘Purple Mask’. ‘Perma’ for short. That’s what they call it.”

“oh.”

“Quack. You didn’t know.”

“yes.”

I scratched my head.

Come to think of it, there was no filming today, but I did wear a purple mask and come out.

“Originally, that’s what YouTube is. Is it because there are many cases where other people know about my channel before me?”

“ah. Yes. The public is really fast and scary.”

I also agreed with that statement.

“This is Mr. Yeon, who appears on our channel.”

“ah. yes. Nice to meet you.”

“hello.”

Hee-yeon’s expression when she greeted Sang-sik was also good.

Even to Hee-yeon, Sang-sik was a neat and well-mannered man.

The meeting with Sang-shik is Hee-yeon, and the meeting with Young-geon is Beom-soo.

It was decided to go out together.

After seeing the e-mail that Young-gun sent to Hee-yeon, it seemed that it would not be very good to have the two meet at the first meeting stage.

So naturally, the order was decided.

I was thinking of setting up a meeting place as a studio, but decided to just meet at a Starbucks in Hyehwa Station.

No matter how trustworthy the gatekeepers are at the entrance, I changed my mind after receiving emails from various channels yesterday.

It’s not good to expose too much.

The advantage of YouTube is that you can maintain anonymity and be active.

But that’s just how it is compared to TV.

It is an unavoidable fact that if people are interested in spying, they can suffer considerable damage.

Despite having such thoughts, the first impression of this common sense man was not bad.

“Thank you for your prompt reply. I didn’t know you would reply so quickly. hahahaha.”

“But… to be honest, I almost asked you not to reply because the way you speak is rude.”

Heeyeon opened her mouth.

“Ugh~ That’s our channel concept. I hope you understand~”

“omg.”

Suddenly Common Sense responded by changing his voice and tone.

“Ugh. Uhm.”

Sang-sik cleared his throat, then returned to his earlier voice and continued.

“sorry. I still worry a lot about it.”

“Ah yes…”

Hearing the exaggeratedly high-toned voice, I was momentarily dazed.

“In fact, I thought it was more likely that I would not get a reply even if I sent an email. Then we didn’t meet in person, but communicated channel-to-channel.”

“yes.”

“Then I thought it would be better to just communicate in the tone of the channel. But listening to what you say, I don’t think it’s a concept for e-mail. hahahaha. I’ll have to think about it…”

Common Sense said, scratching his head.

“That’s it.”

Heeyeon nodded slowly and said.

“yes. Now that we’ve met face to face, we’re just meeting as managers versus managers. Mail is just channel to channel. It was something like this I think you must have been uncomfortable. sorry.”

“Oh, no. I understand your concern.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

Common sense smiled at my words.

“Then, let’s talk about the annexation.”

The atmosphere has become more or less friendly, so it’s time to get to the main topic.

‘I think it will be a better meeting than I thought?’

“yes. Now, then this.”

“huh?”

Sang-sik opened the bag and took out a printed PPT.

“Good job printing another copy.”

It was common sense to keep one copy for yourself and share the rest with Heeyeon and me.

“Oh. Prepare these things.”

“no way. I suggested a meeting, should we do this much?”

There are many crazy people in the world, and there are also many people who are more normal than expected.

Common sense was the latter.

“Honestly, when I received the e-mail, I had a very bad impression, right? I was like, ‘The name is common sense, but the tone is nonsensical’… but when I met him, I was surprised that he was completely different.”

When Hee-yeon spoke honestly, Sang-sik smiled bitterly and said.

“Actually, Sangsik is my real name.”

“yes? is it so?”

“yes. My name is Kim Sang-shik. I was teased a lot for my name. But again, when I was creating a YouTube channel, I got a hint from my name.”

“aha. You are using your real name.”

“But, I don’t know what my real name is. So even if you use your real name, there is no burden of using your real name.”

“oh.”

“Now, if you look at this PPT…”

Common sense began to explain.

“oh. So, you are talking about merging with narration?”

“There are several reasons why I decided to collaborate with ＜What No One Does＞.”

“Which one?”

Heeyeon asked.

“First of all, ‘Perma’ is such a good voice. Looking at his face now, he is very handsome, but his voice is really good. And good diction.”

“…”

I can’t help but scratch my head at this statement.

“You know that the videos on my channel are narrated, right?”

Common sense continued to speak under the flow of liquidation.

“I know.”

“That’s why, if you want to merge videos on my channel, your voice is more important. But is this optimal?”

“yes. I admit it.”

Beside me, Heeyeon nodded instead of me.

“So, first of all, it will be a good fit if you talk to me through narration… This is the first point.”

Once the first point is acknowledged. I decided to continue listening to the explanation.

“And the video concept I propose is…”

Common sense passed the PPT and continued the explanation.

“If you look at the current trend, you know that he is the best individual YouTuber ever.”

“Ah yes.”

“But from what I’ve seen, YouTubers make a lot of mistakes. There are so many cases where one mistake goes to hell.”

“But there were a lot of points where I could make a mistake, but I easily avoided them. It came to the conclusion that this couldn’t be someone who didn’t know about YouTube’s physiology.”

Common sense seems to have been monitoring my channel quite a bit.

“Other people say things like ‘It’s lucky’ to have a large channel on ＜What No One Do’s,’ or ‘It’s a diamond spoon’.”

“yes. They talk about that a lot.”

“From my point of view, that kind of thing is of course a base, but I think it’s also important to use YouTube’s physiology well. If you could succeed without it, would all the sons of politicians and conglomerates become YouTubers? But you can’t.”

“…”

“You seem to have a good understanding of the YouTube algorithm.”

“yes. In fact, it’s because we majored in media communication.”

“I see. no wonder!”

Common sense clapped its hands in a small voice.

“So the initial concept for the video was like this. ‘Common sense not to make mistakes while running YouTube’. how is it?”

“oh. I’m fine.”

“And there is a lot of interest in the ＜What No One Does＞ channel. But what is really wise is that rumors abound, but there is no definite information. Did you use that?”

“There is a side to it.”

“yes. But one thing I can’t deny is that people seem to have a lot of connections and money.”

“Yes.”

Common sense passed the PPT again.

“So, the second topic is, ‘Common sense to use resources such as personal connections while running a YouTube channel.’ I got it like this.”

“This is good too.”

Heeyeon nodded before me.

“hmm.”

I put my hand on my chin for a moment and thought about it.

Certainly, Common Sense’s planning was quite neat.

But there was something unclear. I quickly thought about what it was.

And, there was something I quickly realized.

“This is a joint venture.”

“yes.”

“Both videos are actually in the form of me being interviewed.”

“ah.”

Common sense paused for a moment.

“It seems like you’re talking about common sense, but that’s in the planning stage… In fact, I think I’ll use my own experience as an example as the story unfolds.”

“Oh oh.”

Common sense heard me and said with wide eyes.

His reaction seemed a bit exaggerated.

“Iknow, right. I didn’t think of it either, but if you actually talk about it, that side will come out, right?”

Sang-sik looked at his PPT and said.

“yes. Then, rather than a merging, I think it might actually be closer to an interview. Or ‘common sense’ channel is the moderator, we are the panel. I think it could be a role like this.”

“hmm.”

“Actually, I don’t think the roles of the two channels need to be exactly the same even if they merge. Still, I wish it was a little more interactive.”

“yes…”

This time, common sense put a hand to his chin.

And after thinking a little, he opened his mouth.

“It’s really amazing.”

“What?”

“Originally, I thought it would be very wild. It’s not just money and a lot of connections, he must have quite a bit of ability. But when I met him in person, he seemed more terrifying.”

“oh. I’m not going to compliment you.”

“Anyway, you are right. But I also have know-how while creating a channel.”

“yes.”

“There are also cases when I created my own channel. So, how about dragging the video like this?”

“how?”

Heeyeon asked.

“From the beginning, we will make a case with the know-how of our channel and the know-how of ＜Nobody Does＞. As we go along, we give and take each other. You did it, I did it like this.”

“oh. that.”

I nodded.

I didn’t expect it to be such a fine and in-depth meeting.

* * *

After the meeting, Kim Sang-sik passed Hyehwa Station Exit 1 and entered the private parking lot.

After paying for the parking ticket and parking fee, Kim Sang-sik sat behind the wheel and muttered:

“Ha… It’s a shame to go back quickly by strangling your head. I need to stay alert.”
