The 4th Generation Chaebol YouTuber

“Actually, I think YouTube is the last refuge for people who want to work as journalists in real journalism.”

“oh. At what point?”

“All other media has been dominated by chaebols.”

“ah.”

“A broadcasting station is like a big company anyway. Because KTV and MTV are already big companies. The executives there all think of themselves as executives of large corporations. mind.”

Jeong Han-seong began to express his views on the media.

“that’s right.”

I nodded.

“And newspapers are at the mercy of big business because of that bastard advertisement. No matter how liberal a newspaper is, if the S or L group says they want to stop advertising, they will publish the article right away.”

“that’s right.”

The reporter from ＜Jinsimo＞, who came out with PD Jeong Han-seong, nodded his head.

A woman about 35 years old. He was wearing horn-rimmed glasses that looked quite high.

He introduced himself as ‘reporter Baek Si-yeon’. It was a look that was perfect for a ‘reporter’.

“However, on YouTube, large corporations are still unable to strangle themselves with advertisements. Large corporations are not yet a big hand of YouTube advertisers. And if we have a lot of subscribers, we can operate without ads.”

“that’s right. Now, with fewer copies sold, newspapers go bankrupt if they can’t advertise.”

Baek Si-yeon agreed.

“yes. YouTube media outlets can still be free from ads if done well. I think this is the charm of YouTube journalism.”

Baek Shi-yeon responded and PD Jung Han-seong continued to speak.

Give or take The two seemed to get along pretty well.

“If a YouTube channel gets bigger, it might be hung up on ads. However, if we operate with less than 10 people like now, we can not be swayed by that.”

Jeong Hanseong said with his eyes shining.

“It’s good.”

I smiled and nodded.

I thought I would continue to talk with these two people from the ＜Jinsimo＞ channel.

But it’s nice to see that both of them have similar thoughts about me and the YouTube press.

“By the way, you seem to have a very different opinion from the previous manager, so I guess there was no conflict?”

“First of all, the channel is growing fast, so there was no reason to clash. We also didn’t have a big complaint about increasing the number of people to 10 or 20 people. But maybe in two or three years we will bump into each other.”

It was Jeong Han-seong’s explanation.

“Aren’t you… thinking of making this channel very big? Then it will be different from the channel we thought.”

Baek Si-yeon looked at her slightly and said.

“no. I have no idea.”

“yes?”

Both of them widened their eyes, probably surprised by my answer.

“Please think of me as a completely different role from the previous manager. Unlike ＜Hansimo＞, ＜Jinsimo＞ is not a press with one owner.”

“ah.”

“In addition to the current 6 members, there are also 7 of me, right?”

“yes.”

“Then consider me just the seventh shareholder. It’s not a corporation, but so to speak.”

“ah. I really appreciate you saying that.”

Reporter Baek Si-yeon raised her horn-rimmed glasses and said.

“Since I am also a member of ＜Jinsimo＞, I will provide information to report on.”

“oh. So, are you saying that you will also work as a journalist?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Hanseong was surprised and asked.

“yes. First of all, if there is a video that I think is worth reporting while filming on YouTube, I will provide it. Then, please judge at the desk and decide whether to use it or not.”

“oh. Aren’t you just ordering it to be written?”

Baek Si-yeon asked.

“yes. Yes. There is also a desk for the news media here. You have to keep the authority of the desk.”

“wow. what. An angel has come down from heaven.”

Baek Si-yeon raised the frame of her glasses again and said.

It may have been an expression of a happy heart, but there was a bit of sarcasm hidden in the words.

“…”

I was able to get a rough idea of the role that reporter Baek Si-yeon played here today.

“Isn’t there something like a good person complex?”

Baek Si-yeon asked with one side of her mouth twisting.

“hey. Reporter Baek.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Han-seong rolled his eyes and stopped Baek Si-yeon.

“Is this too direct a question? Sorry if I was rude.”

Siyeon Baek said.

“no. it’s okay. It is a natural suspicion.”

I laughed and shook my head.

The people of ＜Jinsimo＞ accepted my proposal, but at the same time, they were worried that ＜Jinsimo＞ would be overly swayed by me.

So reporter Baek Si-yeon, who hadn’t met me beforehand, came to take on the role of negotiating while trying to figure out my intentions.

It’s kind of a power game.

In fact, this is also a hurdle I must overcome. You must be willing to deal with it.

“By the way, it would be a mistake if I thought I was doing it for the production team’s good despite the loss.”

He said this with a smile on his face.

I don’t want to get dragged around in the conversation, so I’d rather get the conversation going at my own pace as quickly as possible.

“is it so?”

“yes. First of all, all three of you here know what happens if you don’t acknowledge the authority of the desk, right? ＜Hansimo＞ also failed like that.”

“ah. That, it is.”

Baek Si-yeon touched her hair instead of her glasses.

“The news media thinks that if the operator abuses power, that is poison to the media. So, respecting the desk is not something I do stupidly nice, but something I should do for myself and the company I belong to.”

“hmm.”

Baek Si-yeon’s eyes fell down.

“Ay Mr. I don’t know what to say because it’s so right. PD-nim, say something instead.”

“ha ha ha. Why are you dragging me in?”

Jung PD smiled and shook his head.

“After all, elite educated people are smart? It’s definitely different from normal people.”

“yes?”

My eyes widened at these words.

“I heard that you are one of the L Group heirs. So, you must have lived with a golden spoon since you were young. That’s why you speak so smartly.”

“…”

“You are the heir to L Group, right? In fact, what I said a while ago was because I thought there would be nothing I couldn’t do well if I did better than the former manager in that position.”

“Uh huh. Reporter Baek… This is really rude.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong PD looked at me and said.

Ugh. Now, it is difficult to hide the fact that I am one of the L Group blood relatives and one of the heirs.

I’d rather be known, so I’m comfortable inside.

But these are its side effects.

I mean, they tend to think of me as just a ‘normal’ chaebol person.

“ah. I see what you mean.”

I said in a calm voice.

“Since I’m a member of L Group, I think the production crew are naturally worried. ＜Hansimo＞ becomes like a press affiliated with L Group without even realizing it.”

I said this and looked straight into the eyes of Baek Si-yeon and Jeong Han-sung.

“…”

They averted my gaze for a moment.

But he didn’t deny what I said.

“Since you don’t say anything, I will accept that I am right. Actually, this is an important issue, and I think I need to confirm it.”

“yes.”

Producer Jeong Han-seong wasn’t flirting either.

Now that this has happened, I must have thought that I should make sure about this issue and move on.

“yes. Rather, it would be more comfortable with each other. first,”

I paused and chose my next words. And he spoke in a cautious yet firm manner.

“I am not a member of L Group. It is true that I am the L Group heir, but I am not from the L Group family.”

“yes?”

“I won’t go into detail either, but I’m not on Ko Hyeon-wook’s side, and I’m not on Koh Ji-hyeok’s side either. And let me tell you that almost everyone in the family was surprised that I became one of the heirs of the L Group.”

“…”

While the two were confused for a moment, I calmly continued.

“And, I am not elite. I didn’t have an elite education. And, until I received this inheritance, I never lived a more leisurely life than others.”

And he looked straight into Baek Si-yeon’s face.

“So, I’d like to say that what you just said is definitely rude.”

“ah. sorry.”

Baek Si-yeon blushed slightly.

It was not an attitude of resentment or anger.

“I foresaw other people’s lives too carelessly. It’s a bit embarrassing.”

Baek Si-yeon officially apologized.

“By the way, if you’re an heir and not a member, then you’re a distant relative… Ah.”

PD Jeong Han-seong was talking to himself and then abruptly cut off his words.

“…”

There was a slightly awkward silence.

okay. ‘The Secret of Birth.’

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Han-seong and Baek Si-yeon are a bit different from Hee-yeon and Beom-soo.

In fact, any journalist would have a rough idea of how many out-of-wedlocks there are among chaebol leaders.

‘if?’

This thought must have passed through his head.

But at that point, it’s really hard to ask.

Even Baek Shi-yeon, who probably came prepared to deliberately ask a provocative question, would not be able to ask that question.

“For now, I will stop talking about this. The important thing is that being with me does not mean that I will go under Ko Hyeon-wook or Koh Goh-hyeok.”

“yes yes. Yes.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Hanseong nodded quickly.

“sorry. We’ve been really rude. I didn’t have to go so far as to talk privately.”

“no. I had to point it out anyway.”

I smiled and reassured them.

“Then, since the important premise has been resolved, let’s go back to what we were talking about earlier.”

“A while ago… what were you talking about?”

“That I will provide sources for reporting.”

“ah. yes.”

“First, let me tell you about our channel system. When we shoot a video, we use multiple cameras to shoot from different angles. And, I use it in many ways.”

“Hoo. how?”

“Have you seen our channel? It’s spicy and mild.”

“yes. saw. It was fun.”

Reporter Baek chuckled.

“yes. I also use both of the ones I took once. The beach healing video that was uploaded a few days ago, and the parasol thugs. It is a video taken at the same time.”

“ah.”

“And, among our members, there is a friend called ‘Yeonnim’.”

“I saw that too. That very pretty woman.”

“yes. That friend has his own channel. I edit the same source differently and upload it to that friend’s channel.”

“ah. yes.”

Baek Si-yeon narrowed her eyes at this point.

“so…”

“I think I understand.”

Baek Shi-yeon cut off my explanation.

“So, if you shoot a video like that, you can come up with reporting sources that can be used simultaneously on our channel, right?”

“yes. that’s right.”

I nodded.

“Hmm…”

Baek Si-yeon made a suspicious expression.

“why?”

“To be honest, I don’t quite agree. Wouldn’t there be a bit of a difference between reporting sources and general video sources?”

“ha ha ha. Reporter Baek. Is it journalistic pride? Theoretically, I think it’s possible…”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Han-seong intervened.

“no way. You shouldn’t say that before the PD who should be cold-headed without reporting value sees it.”

Baek Si-yeon looked at Jeong Han-seong and said, then turned her gaze to me.

“For example, what reportage do you think you will give us?”

“For example, the full version of the video of the upcoming L Group shareholders meeting. And I think it could be broadcast live. I also participate as a major shareholder.”

“Hut.”

“Uh…”

The two were speechless for a moment.

“That, is that acceptable?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeong Han-seong looked at Baek Si-yeon and asked.

“Is that possible?”
