The studio construction took about 5 days.

Since it was originally used as a theater production company, the studio was able to be created with minimal structural changes.

“It is not a waste of money, it is a waste of time. Let’s remodel it as soon as possible and film it and turn it into content.”

When I told Hee-yeon and Beom-soo, they readily agreed.

“hey. The rooftop here kills!”

“I know.”

An old building on the way up from Hyehwa Station to Naksan Park.

As it turned out, there was a huge advantage that couldn’t be grasped through the internet.

The roof is wide and the view is amazing.

“Every time we create content, let’s barbecue and have a wine party here!”

Heeyeon exclaimed excitedly.

“oh! good night!”

Beomsu and I naturally smiled.

It was a good thing to divide the inheritance into stocks and cash.

Anyway, holding over 100 billion in cash was a tremendous power.

I paid 8.5 billion to the landlord who called for 9 billion, and I became the landlord.

The area of one floor is about 60 pyeong.

The third floor is a theater production company. It was a vacancy.

The first floor was cut in half and used by a cafe and accessory shop, but both were closed due to corona.

The basement was a small theater, but it was also closed due to corona.

Since only Kim Seong-chan’s dojo on the second floor was occupied, the previous building owner gratefully received 8.5 billion won.

‘To be able to cut 500 million won in one sitting…’

Considering the price of 9 billion, the discount of 500 million was not that strange, but the word ‘500 million cut’ was strange.

The first thing I did was to reduce the monthly rent of Seongchan Kim.

Of course, it wasn’t just cut.

“no. I couldn’t believe it after watching the YouTube video… Do you think he’s really rich? What are you doing?”

Kim Seong-chan asked after learning that I bought the building.

“Well… I’m a student, but I can’t tell you how I made money. It’s not something to brag about.”

I scratched my head.

“Yes. Because there are so many coins these days.”

It was a cool response from Kim Seong-chan.

It’s the era of coins, so this is good.

Even if you become rich by accident, people say you will.

“I have something to suggest to Kim Seong-chan.”

I opened my mouth with a serious expression.

“Uh, what is it?”

“You sign a sponsorship contract with us. To put it simply, sponsorship.”

“A sponsorship deal? Sponsored? Oh, you want me to sponsor the channel?”

“no.”

I laughed and shook my head.

“I heard that we are cooperating.”

“Ew? You say your YouTube channel is sponsored, not sponsored?”

“yes. I’m going to make a logo for our channel soon. ‘What no one else does’ channel. If you don’t mind, please expose that logo when you go out.”

“Hut. Doesn’t that mean that the channel gets sponsored by another channel and exposes its logo in its own video?”

“yes. upside down Our channel is sponsored.”

I said with a smile.

“wow. It is a contrarian idea.”

Player Kim Seong-chan said with a smile.

“It’s because it’s not very well known yet. There are many YouTubers who spend money to promote their channels. Since I started YouTube, I’m trying to grow my channel until I become one. However, if our channel logo is put on an item used by Kim Seong-chan, I wonder if there will be a promotion comparable to that.”

“What are the conditions?”

Player Kim Seong-chan asked cautiously.

“Rental for the dojo is 1.5 million won right now, right?”

“Yes.”

Player Kim Seong-chan’s face darkened slightly.

No matter how hyehwa’s commercial district is ruined, rent for a 60-pyeong space on the second floor at 1.5 million won is quite cheap.

He must have been worried inwardly that I might touch the rent.

“Out of the rent paid by 1.5 million won, how about giving back 1 million won in the name of sponsorship? That’s why it’s a sponsorship of 1 million won per month.”

“Uh…”

Player Kim Seong-chan’s eyes widened.

“Really?”

“yes.”

“That’s actually a 1 million won reduction in rent…”

“yes. But we don’t mean to risk a loss. In fact, I think it would cost more than 1 million won per month to put our logo on Chansung Kim’s sportswear.”

“hahahaha. I don’t know if I become a UFC champion, but domestic companies don’t sponsor me like that yet.”

Seongchan Kim shook his head.

“Good for you. It’s because we’re preoccupying Kim Seong-chan’s sportswear while it’s still empty. In my view, this is an investment, not a loss.”

When I said this with a smile, Seongchan Kim scratched his head and asked.

“excuse me. Can I ask you a bit more directly?”

“yes.”

“Why are you so mean to me? If you want to sponsor, there must be someone much better than me.”

“ah. no. I’m currently sponsoring and merging. I am thinking of both at the same time.”

“at the same time?”

“yes. We will give Kim Seong-chan a sponsor and at the same time create content. We are aiming for a synergistic effect of sponsorship and merger.”

“her…”

“It’s simple when you think about it. Seongchan Kim promotes our channel. Also, our channel is getting bigger and bigger, so we promote Seongchan Kim again. Then the publicity effect of each other becomes stronger. It’s a virtuous cycle.”

“Hmm. I understand.”

“Then you have to think about video content and concepts, right? Then, it’s rather difficult with YouTubers who have their own content. Even people who have a full-time job are a bit picky.”

“Uh… is that so?”

“yes. Rather, it becomes strange because the concepts between each other do not match. Player Kim Seong-chan has also been merged several times. In the end, the martial arts practice and the concept of the partner of the merger didn’t fit, so I ended up just becoming a variety show pro. Do event sparring.”

“uh. that’s right.”

Player Kim Sung-chan nodded his head broadly at those words.

“It really is. To be honest, I regretted it a lot after the merger. That’s why I couldn’t do something like the offer I made this time.”

“yes. However, we are the original contents of Seongchan Kim. Training and practice, dojo training, and competition. I’m just going to use this as content. Since I signed a sponsorship, I don’t have to waste players like entertainment. That becomes the main content of our channel.”

“oh…”

Seongchan Kim blinked and said.

“wow. I’m just convinced.”

After hearing that, I put it together again.

“I didn’t create content with a strange concept for no reason, I signed a sponsorship and went straight to the top. This is it.”

“I think it’s good.”

“’Sponsorship with Kim Seong-chan, and we decided to produce video content together – something that no one else does’. It’s good to have our concept.”

“great.”

“And, let me be honest. There is a reason we chose Sungchan Kim as our partner. I’ll be honest.”

“Ah yes.”

Seongchan Kim began to listen with a nervous face.

“First of all, Sungchan Kim has a very good image. Excessively good manners during fights are the cause of your popularity being lower than the UFC rankings, but it’s a little different on YouTube, isn’t it? It is especially good for image management as we form a partnership.”

“oh.”

“And, all other athletes have management. However, UFC fighters still use a lot of personal management. That’s why signing a contract is so much better.”

“oh.”

“And again…”

“What else?”

“Write the door like this.”

“huh?”

Player Kim Seong-chan made a puzzled expression.

“I’m going to make a door on the stairs going up to the second floor.”

“Why so…”

“That way, when we go up to our studio on the 3rd floor, we have no choice but to open the door to the dojo.”

“Yes?”

Player Kim Seong-chan made an expression of even more incomprehension.

“How many players are there in Kim Seong-chan’s dojo?”

“Eleven people.”

“And don’t one or two of them almost live and eat?”

“yes. that’s right. hahahaha. In fact, the landlord hates it when he finds out.”

Seongchan Kim scratched his head with a troubled expression.

“No… very good.”

I grinned.

During the studio construction, I uploaded a video of an ‘unreleased mobile phone’ that Hyunmin gave me.

And put the following notice on the bulletin board.

– Our channel creates a dedicated studio this time. When the studio is finished, I will upload a video of the construction process. In the meantime, please love the unreleased mobile phone video!

The response to the unreleased cell phone video was quite enthusiastic, and the number of subscribers increased by more than 20,000 in those five days.

It was a long-awaited video of ‘something no one else does, mild taste’.

– Is the reaction okay?

Hyunmin’s KakaoTalk.

– huh. It was an item that honestly couldn’t fail.

The number of views immediately exceeded 1.5 million.

With just one video, 3 million won was immediately generated.

To be honest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Hyunmin gave me money instead of an item.

– no. In the future, if there is a new item that goes behind the corporate family like that, I will sponsor it.

– hmm. thank you. I’ll give you a real treat on this one.

– To end with a treat?

Hyunmin asked.

– huh?

– It’s really fun to go through your channel. Let me participate as a guest, too.

– hmm. Not now. But once you’re settled in, I’ll figure out how.

– tooth. Cool. Did you contact the bodyguard?

– ah. yet.

– Ugh. I’m not listening really.

– Let’s see. Something fun will happen

“huh?”

The day after the construction was finished, we produced and uploaded a video showing the process of decorating the studio.

– This is our studio. Having a dedicated studio for a channel is something most YouTubers can’t do. This can also be seen as ‘something no one does’. lol

I uploaded the statue with this description.

The video didn’t show the address of the building, but it did include a view of the neighborhood from the rooftop.

General viewers will be able to find out that the studio is located in Hyehwa-dong, and those who are willing to do background investigations will be able to know what kind of building it is in Hyehwa-dong.

“Aren’t you going to post the story of using the same building as Kim Seong-chan?”

Heeyeon asked.

“huh. yet.”

“really?”

Heeyeon asked, narrowing her eyes.

It was the expression that something had come.

“Even if it’s okay to sponsor, wouldn’t it be better to give advance notice to the merger?”

Heeyeon asked again.

“ah. I will do that in a little while.”

Heeyeon’s eyes narrowed even more when she heard my answer.

“You madman.”

“huh?”
