When the sight of Yeongbin riding the gyro drop was broadcast on national TV, the community literally started burning with excitement.
That was only natural, considering that Seoyeon, who was nothing but a delicate high school girl, had lifted Yeongbin up along with the chair in a flash.
As for how Seoyeon's fans reacted to this:
- ??Why so dramatic?
- Fr lol, so is he heavier than Dotdol? lol
Roughly those kinds of lukewarm reactions.
Since Seoyeon's fans had already seen things, they figured this was just how it was.
They were watching, thinking, 'I guess she can lift it~'.
Naturally.
- Are you seriously brain-dead???
- No sh*t, so how do you even do that?
- I'm a current trainer. Calculating an adult male's weight as 80kg and the chair as 10~20kg, f*ck, you can't do it.
- Why can't you?
- Hmm... it seems like it might be possible.
Anyway, those kinds of reactions popped up here and there in the community, but such opinions were quickly buried.
That was because there were more people who simply focused on the entertainment value of the scene.
Besides, after riding the gyro drop, the camera captured Yeongbin half-dead.
- What's he wearing inside?
- It's ripped in half, isn't it something thick?
As if anticipating such reactions, the next screen transitioned smoothly to Sua's perspective.
To be exact, it was a scene where the production team interviewed Sua.
"Ah, what my husband was wearing inside then?"
The production team nodded.
Sua smiled as if slightly embarrassed and continued.
"He said it was a stab-proof vest bought from an overseas direct purchase, that popular shopping mall these days. Yes? Ah, it is a stab-proof vest."
She sighed as if troubled, slightly tilting her delicate, drooping eyes.
"Our child is healthy, so it seems she accidentally tore it while playing with her husband. Since then, whenever he gets teased, he often wears it like that."
It sounded like she was talking about a lively daughter and her husband, but.
Naturally, posts filled with ??? started flooding the community.
- No f*ck, a stab-proof vest? Does that tear just from being a bit strong?
- Right. No, this is what Ju Seoyeon showed when she poked with her finger lol
- Did they buy a stab-proof vest to block fingers? Is Ju Seoyeon's finger a bullet?
- A stab-proof vest isn't for bullets... you buy it to block knives... bullets are for bulletproof vests...
- But does it tear just because someone tries to tear it??
- lol no way it looks like a Chinese knockoff
Such posts came up, but when someone captured and zoomed in on the video of the half-dead Yeongbin, the model he was wearing was roughly revealed.
- It seems like it was bought from China, but it's a proper one. It even contains Kevlar fiber.
- Wow you know a lot. Are you perhaps Kevlar fiber?
- Is it possible to tear that like that?
- F*ck, make some sense. Even if you bring a gorilla, it can't tear it.
- They said Ju Seoyeon tore it while playing with her dad???
- F*ck, if you tear it like that, a person would get torn apart while playing too.
- That's true, isn't it?
- ?????
- Don't slander our Seoyeon ;;;
Thus, a debate over whether a person could tear a stab-proof vest or not lasted for over 2 hours even after the broadcast ended, but ultimately it was deemed an impossible feat, and the torn stab-proof vest remained a mystery.
It was better to focus on the more realistic chair gyro drop.
Besides, there were also people who enjoyed seeing Yeongbin knocked out cold on the floor.
- That son of a bitch, Seoyeon, shake him a little more.
- No, why are you disrespecting someone else's dad?
- I'm an Unchained user.
- Didn't he resolve everything and leave??
- Would you forgive a delinquent if they beat the shit out of you and sent you to the hospital?
- Ah
Users who had been burned once in the game giggled and enjoyed seeing Yeongbin getting tossed around by Seoyeon.
They even egged her on to do more.
Funnily enough, seeing him consistently getting beaten after provoking Seoyeon unintentionally improved Yeongbin's existing image to some extent.
- Ju Seoyeon's dad is a game developer, right?
- Unchained side, yeah.
- lol Why didn't that person say his daughter is Ju Seoyeon lol
- Fr, she could've come out in a celebrity ad at least, but they didn't use her.
- Please spare us from celebrity ads.
Perhaps because his image in the variety show was so strong, the three letters of his name, 'Ju Yeongbin', appeared in real-time search terms.
He was currently working at a game company, and was the development and planning team leader who had met users once at a town hall meeting.
Naturally, the production team also had curiosity about him.
Naturally, they had no choice but to ask Sua, who appeared as a guest.
"How did you meet your husband? I heard you've been dating since high school."
"Ah, u-um, y-yes, that's right."
At Gong Hyeongman's words, Sua nodded repeatedly and answered.
Every time she did, her chest kept moving.
'Please, just answer with words.'
Gong Hyeongman thought so sincerely.
Wouldn't this be edited out when it airs?
It's a bit weird to say this, but it felt like there would be many cases where only her voice came out rather than her whole body being shown.
"Did you two just meet at school?"
"Ah, well. I was the vice president of the game development club, and my husband... came in later."
"A game club? Ah, you said you were a developer. They said Seoyeon's mother is also a programmer? That's cool~."
At the panelists' complimentary words, Sua smiled as if troubled.
"Then when you developed the game, the two of you?"
"No, no. At that time, I was really into drawing, so just the two of us was impossible. I mostly only did art back then..."
Sua said there were four of them.
The president and Yeongbin did the scenario and planning, one for music, and Sua did everything including art.
"But there's no programmer?"
"S-so I actually did that too... Of course, my husband learned it later and we did it together, but."
"?"
Wait, isn't Sua's workload too concentrated?
Such doubts arose, but anyway, it seemed they had quite an enjoyable school life.
"We fought a lot back then. All the members were girls, too..."
"It's a game development club, but they're all girls?"
"Surprisingly, no boys came."
Why was that?
Sua was genuinely curious.
Unlike herself, her friend who was the president at the time had many friends and was popular.
"Do you keep in touch with the other friends?"
"No, no. It's been over 10 years since we last contacted... something happened."
"Um, is that so."
"Y-yes."
Sua said with a slightly embarrassed face.
It wasn't that something bad had happened.
It was just that it couldn't be helped.
The other two were also doing very well anyway.
One became a web novel author, and the other went into music and was doing really well, as far as she knew.
In fact, she said that Sua was the only one who became an ordinary housewife.
- No, what kind of school life did this bastard Ju Yeongbin have?
- F*ck, does this make sense? Is this a novel????
- An ordinary housewife???
- How is that look an ordinary housewife? Wanna die?
- Ajumma.
- Shut up, you f*cking bastard.
After the conversation between the panelists and Sua ended like that, the screen returned to the scene.
The posture of the knocked-out Yeongbin and Seoyeon looking down at him.
It looked like a posture often seen in some manga.
As Seoyeon's eyes narrowed after seeing the stab-proof vest, the moment she was about to drag him onto the chair like a corpse for one more gyro drop.
"Suyeon is here!!"
With a clank! Sua, who had stepped out in the meantime, returned with her kindergarten daughter.
The name 'Ju Suyeon' caught largely on the screen.
Along with the words 'soon to be 8 years old', the viewers couldn't help but smile happily at Suyeon's bright smile.
Unlike Seoyeon, who had a relatively cold impression, Suyeon had a sunflower-like impression.
A face that smiles well when looking at people around, and makes those who see it smile too.
"Wow! Me too, sis!!"
Suyeon said, having seen what Seoyeon was doing to Yeongbin.
Suyeon liked it when Seoyeon gave her airplane rides.
It seemed she noticed it was something similar now and spoke up.
At those words, Seoyeon slowly shook her head.
"It's dangerous for Suyeon."
Her voice was extremely serious, so naturally, the viewers' reactions were hot.
- Dad is in danger too, you crazy bitch.
- No, is it okay for Dad to be in danger? Is this right?
- If you did something wrong, you should be punished.
- Fr lol
- Honestly, Dad is the one at fault yes;;
Separately, seeing Suyeon biting her index finger as if disappointed.
Or watching her running around playfully, people commented that just that was healing.
Moreover, since all of their appearances were radiant, it was like a painting.
- Wow, how can a wife and two daughters all be that pretty?
- Ju Yeongbin, you bastard, pay more taxes.
- What even is my life?
- Ah, this is more enviable than just a rich house.
Unaware that he was receiving such criticism, Yeongbin awkwardly got up at the youngest's voice and sat back on the chair.
Seeing that, as Seoyeon grabbed the chair again.
"I was thinking while riding this just now."
"What were you thinking?"
What nonsense is he going to spout now.
Seoyeon waited silently for Yeongbin's words.
Resolving that if he said something frivolous again, she wouldn't put him on a gyro drop, but a roller coaster.
"Let's go to the swimming pool."
"Huh?"
Why a swimming pool here?
"You know. The flume ride or whatever?"
"You have to go to an amusement park for that."
"But I just thought of a swimming pool."
"?"
"Come to think of it, we didn't even go to the pool this summer. Let's go this year. You said we absolutely couldn't go when you were in puberty. It's cool right now, so it's perfect."
Well, that's true, but.
He's jumping to a swimming pool from here?
- Kya lollll
- Shameless lol
- How nice would it be if you just ran the game like that.
- Crazy, so Ju Seoyeon and her mom are coming out in swimsuits?
- Suyeon... hehehe
- Someone report the bastard above.
Anyway, the sight of Seoyeon pondering was captured on screen.
That was because it was such a suddenly decided thing.
But then again, saying a swimming pool, it felt quite nice.
It seemed like there would be more content filming outside than being indoors.
'My image...'
It felt like it had failed a bit because of Yeongbin, but if it was a swimming pool, she could definitely make up for it.
"Okay."
As Seoyeon nodded, the swimming pool scene was captured on screen.
It was blurred out so it didn't show properly, but the sight of Seoyeon, Sua, and Suyeon running to the swimming pool was captured.
And.
[Next episode! Ju Seoyeon's family goes to the swimming pool!]
- Hey you bastards!!!!!
- No, are you crazy?????
- You're cutting it off here???? Are you kidding me????
The first episode of Seoyeon and her family ended there.
The viewership rating of the thus-concluded
Not only was it higher than the recently aired
Considering this was just the first episode, there was a high probability that it would shatter all the viewership ratings of
Daebak.
Literally a super hit.
"This is crazy!"
"PD Jeon Hayeong's foresight, wow, it's insane. Really."
While everyone in the MDC Variety Department was hugging each other and rejoicing like that.
"Ah, when did you find out we were filming?"
Yeongbin, who had just been called out while watching the broadcast with his family, said.
"...I just found out."
How am I going to go to work tomorrow?
Yeongbin was sincerely thinking that.
***
The A.D.s advertising planning office has been busy lately.
For one thing, they also sponsored
And they also had to plan the advertisement for Ju Seoyeon, who was recently selected as the new advertising model.
The ad concept was set, and now all they had to do was film.
"Team Leader, they say our sales went up??"
"What? Why?"
We haven't even done the ad yet?
Did some YouTuber promote it?
While such thoughts crossed his mind, they hadn't even started selling the chairs yet.
They were just slowly promoting that it would be launched soon.
So since the new model hadn't even been launched, how could sales go up?
"That is, it's called the Ju Seoyeon Challenge."
"?"
"...It's a hot topic on YouTube these days."
"???"
Gwak Hyeonu, the team leader of the advertising planning office, was flustered.
Because he couldn't figure out how things were flowing at all.
