Chapter 6: Group Merge
Following yesterdayâs debut stream, today is our first group collab stream.
[Gaon Entertainment VTuber Group First Collab]
I debated the stream title and went with one that includes the company name to draw some attention.
âHello.â
- Roha
- Roha
- Voice is insane đ±
- Roha!
- F*cking finally showed up
Message deleted. - Got scolded yesterday?
âHello, tonightâs dinner is leftover rosĂ© tteokbokki from yesterday.â
- Loves rosé so much
- Is your body made of rosé now?
âOh, I donât actually like rosĂ© that much. Cheese tteokbokki is the best. I only ate it yesterday for the content.â
Seriously⊠Iâm so sick of it⊠RosĂ© has such a strong flavor, and I still have two more dishes left besides thisâŠ
Should I call Nayeon? High school girls are crazy about rosé, right?
- Crazy girl
Message deleted. - Wait, you ate something you donât like for content?
- Actually unhinged
- Crazy or a beast?
âA beast?â
- You were a beast yesterday
- Doing whatever you want without consulting anyone, whatâs that if not a beast?
âBeasts can be tamed. Iâve got too strong a sense of self for that.â
- âŠInsane girl
- Just straight-up unhinged
It was a joke, but⊠my image might be ruined.
While casually chatting, a thought hit me.
âOh, I didnât introduce myself yesterday, did I?â
- Yup
- First time seeing someone skip intros on a debut stream
- Mukbang was a first too
- Dongmyeongsangjan was also a first
âAnyway, let me introduce myself before the collab.â
- Most curious about what you did before
- Youâre not an idol trainee, right?
- If sheâs a trainee too, thatâs four đ±
Our group doesnât have RP. Or, well, are we idols?
Anyway, no fantasy character settings.
I once asked the manager what kind of VTubers we are.
The response was:
[The biggest reason our company started the VTuber business was to capture the internet streaming audience. So, rather than starting with an unfamiliar concept, we decided itâs better to begin with something familiar to viewers.]
And so on. I was convinced.
Plus, in my past life, they proved it with results.
âNot a trainee. Just went to college and dropped out.â
- Can you reveal the college?
- More normal than expected
- A college student this unhinged exists in Korea?
- Can you share your major?
- How old are you?
âOh, Iâm 20, the youngest. Iâll pass on the college and major.â
Since personal info disclosure is up to us, I figured revealing my age would be better than hiding it.
Itâs common for group chemistry to come from age dynamics, and I can claim the maknae title.
- ???
- No way
- Youâre not pulling that â20 years old, sixth strongestâ thing, right?
- So you dropped out before even finishing a semester?
- Crazy LOLOL actually unhinged LOLOLOL
âIf you donât believe me, whatever.â
- Seems legit đ±
- Thatâs even more shocking
- Thought youâd be on the unnie line
Not pushing it hard seems to make it more believable.
âOh, timeâs up. Iâm heading to Discord.â
Ding!
[Oh, RosĂ©âs here?]
Minseo spoke as soon as I joined.
âYes.â
[Alright, shall we do introductions?]
So we started introducing ourselves.
âHello, Iâm RosĂ©, 20 years old.â
[Uh, hi! Iâm Siru, 22 years old!]
[Hello~ Iâm Somi, 17 years old, sixth strongest?]
[Iâm Hanbyeol, 24 years old!]
[Iâm Terri, 25 years old.]
[Iâm Uju, 27 years old.]
In order: me, Im Yuna, Yoon Sua, Kim Yubin, Shin Yerin, Jeon Minseoâage order.
âOh, in age order, itâs clown, shy, sly, outgoing, cool, gentle.â
[Huh? What does that mean?]
âItâs easier to remember if you assign character types.â
[Thatâs⊠true, but! Iâm not shy!]
- Nailed it
- She called herself the clown type? LOL
- Total pro
- Is this her concept?
[Alright! Iâll lead as the eldest unnie.]
âWow⊠clap clap clap.â
[Wow!!!]
[âŠRosĂ©, can you put some effort into it? Making clap sounds with your mouth is too muchâŠ]
Oh, Minseo, the ultimate F, must be a bit hurt.
âWow!â
Clap clap clap!
[Huh? Whyâs the sound like that?]
âYou seemed upset, so I put in the real effort with stomach and foot claps.â
Doing both at once is kinda tough.
- LOLOLOLOL
- Wow
- That rustling was her lifting her leg? LOL
- Confirmed true clown LOLOLOL
Seeing everyone enjoy it feels rewarding.
[Uh⊠maybe tone it down for your image?]
âItâs gap moe.â
Do girls have different sensibilities? I thought theyâd find it fun.
Was it a bad idea?
- Real LOLOLOL
- Canât believe that voice is doing this LOLOL
- Scary that she genuinely thinks this wayâŠ
- LOLOLOLOLOL
Well, the viewers like it, so itâs fine.
[Anyway! Letâs keep going! Todayâs main event is picking our group name!]
âWow! Sounds so fun!â
[RosĂ©âŠ? Isnât that too forcedâŠ?]
âHmm⊠tough callâŠâ
- Is she trolling now? LOLOL
- Such a grudge
- Her voice tone shifting is hilarious LOLOL
[Weâre getting sidetracked! If thereâs a main event, thereâs a sub-event, right? Talking about first impressions!]
âHuh? How do we talk about first impressions without meeting in person?â
- Every wordâs a jab
- Making me so curious about first impressions
[Rosé! Let me talk!]
âYesâŠâ
I deliberately changed my voice for stream impact.
- Whyâs this f*cker so cute?
Message deleted. - Wanna make her cry
Message deleted. - Voice of a thousand faces đ± How does the vibe change so much?
[Uh, sorryâŠ! I didnât mean to get madâŠ]
- LOLOLOL
- Only seen her for two days, but sheâs not the type to get hurt by this
I agree with that.
âPretty cute?â
[Gasp!]
[W-W-W-What?!]
Wow, what a generous reaction.
[Hey, whatâs that supposed to mean to your unnie!]
âCute is cute.â
From my male perspective, maybe because sheâs younger than my pre-regression age, her effort and consideration for others are cute.
- Gasp
- đČđČ
- Terri Terri
- That voice saying âcuteâ hits different
Message deleted. - WorriedâŠ
Oh, did that come off as brewing broth?
[Anyway! Back to what I was saying! Itâs just sharing impressions from our chats!]
âOh, that vibe?â
[Sounds fun!]
[What if⊠it comes out bad�]
[You better say nice things about me~?]
[Seems fine?]
So we decided to share first impressions and then pick the group name.
[Alright! Letâs start with the youngest?]
âItâs only natural to make the youngest do it first.â
[No! Thatâs not what I meant!]
- đ±
- Uju controversy đ±
- Eldest unnie bullying the maknae!
[I thought Rosé would be more reserved.]
[Me too!]
âReally?â
Is it because of my voice?
[Your voice is so good.]
[I didnât expect you to be younger than me.]
All similar impressions.
[Since Iâm the groupâs eldest unnie?]
âYes.â
[I heard about your interviewâŠ]
âOh, I put a lot of effort into it.â
I worked hard to pull off that last-minute idea.
As a 20-year-old woman, Iâd never done stocks, so I started by downloading the app.
[âŠI see.]
- Whatâd she do to get that resigned tone?
- Scary but curious
- Spilling interview tea now?
[Not spilling interview tea! But hearing about it, my impression was⊠sheâs a bit 4D, you know?]
- 4D = abnormal
- Sheâs sugarcoating it
- Eldest unnieâs too kind đ
- Want that interview teaâŠ
[But! Talking to you, your voice is so good! And youâre cool and kind⊠so I thought youâre really nice, butâŠ]
âBut?â
[Then yesterday happenedâŠ]
âHmm?â
- For real
- I was shocked by the voice and even more by the actions
- Isnât a crazy girl with social skills more dangerous?
Message deleted.
The othersâ impressions matched my initial definitions.
âSo my initial assessment was spot-on?â
[I want to argue, but itâs facts, so Iâve got nothing.]
âMy T gameâs pretty strong.â
[Seems like it.]
- Definitely ISTP
- I suck at MBTI, but I can tell with her
[Alright! Letâs pick the group name!]
After various suggestions, we narrowed it down to three candidates.
[Shall we vote?]
âSure, if we pick a bad one for fun, the viewers watching a group with that name suffer most.â
- Oh, changed my mind
- Sheâs so persuasive
- Then itâs settled
The result was two joke options and one serious one, so it was basically decided.
[Our group name is⊠Solana!]
âWow!â
[RosĂ©, Iâm sorry⊠can you stopâŠ?]
âNo, itâs fun, so Iâll keep going.â
[FineâŠ]
- Evil girl
- Ujuâs so kind đ
- RosĂ©âs gonna dominate communities
Message deleted.
[And a special announcement!]
âWow!!!â
[Eek! You scared me!]
[I got startled too, whyâd you yell?]
âTo grab the attention of people zoning out.â
- Fact: Just because
- Bet she was just bored
Canât argue with facts.
[Anyway! We did first impressions, right?]
âYes.â
[Yup!]
[So next week, weâll have an in-person first impressions collab!]
âWow.â
I already knew, so I reacted lightly.
[Wooow!!]
[So excited!]
- Look at her tame reaction this time
- Told you it was just for fun
And so, the first group collab ended.
I pity the other members that are trying to match her energy.
Unhinged is good, but you have to give your genmates something to work with.
