It’s been a while since I returned to Korea.

We are now at a point where I can say that summer has passed and autumn is in full swing.

The leaves of the trees in the yard are turning crimson, and at night the air feels quite chilly.

This is the season where everyone is dressing up in their coats.

And what am I doing in such a lovely season?

Well…

“Again.”

[Huh?]

“Jeong-hoon, there’s absolutely no swing in this revision.”

[What??]

“I’m just kidding; it’s better to do it like this here…”

I was making Jeong-hoon from our Miro Family stronger.

Well, instead of just making him stronger, I was relaying feedback I received from Tenshi.

Tenshi could share it directly, but I thought it’d be better to push him a bit; thus, I’m passing along the feedback.

[I understand everything else, but doing it like this here is better…]

“Oh, really? I’ll make sure to pass that along.”

It’s not just me pushing; when Jeong-hoon offers suggestions, I also export feedback back to Tenshi.

Although Tenshi is a veteran when it comes to singing, she’s not a composer.

Maybe it’s because I’m in between the two of them, but they’re both comfortable sharing their opinions. Lately, I’ve been busy passing along their exchanges.

With both of them this passionate, I hope we’ll end up with a great song.

I was already looking forward to it, but this just raises my expectations even more.

Lee Seo-yeon is also working hard on the lyrics, so the song might come out sooner than I expected.

We are short on people to reach the desired goal, though.

Anyway, after exchanging feedback with Jeong-hoon, I chat with Lee Kang-jun and Loa.

Lee Kang-jun is also pouring himself into composing these days since he’s had no work, while Loa is studying.

She has a good sense but lacks the basics, so she’s taking various online classes.

Seeing everyone working so hard makes me feel I’ve built a good team.

I don’t know how the results will turn out, but… I guess it will all become memories later.

It’s not an experience that comes easily.

Anyhow, after a light feedback session, I prepared for my broadcast.

The time was almost right; I needed to go live.

The vlog I filmed in Japan was just edited and uploaded to my YouTube channel yesterday.

Should I create some buzz around it today?

The comments seemed quite positive.

It must be that the trip with two locals who speak Korean well made it easier to watch, I suppose.

Even though faces aren’t shown, the voices are nice and the emotions captured looked good.

Well, that’s the YouTube reaction…

I’m curious about how our so-called first-class livestream viewers feel about it.

Generally, the subscribers who watch YouTube and those who tune in for live broadcasts have very different natures.

I quickly finished setting up the broadcast and went live.

“Ah, can you hear me?”

– Yup

– Sound’s good

– I expected you to show up soon, haha

As soon as I went live, the viewers quickly took their seats, and I greeted them lightly.

“Since it’s autumn, the weather has been nice these days, hasn’t it?”

– Yup

– It’s nice

– But I’m stuck at home

– I felt a bit cold though

“I’m at home too, but since the weather’s nice, everyone should go out and enjoy the autumn leaves.”

– You mean?

– I have to watch the broadcast, right??

– I’m enjoying the autumn leaves through the monitor

– You should go film a vlog

“Vlog, huh? Should I?”

Since the response to this vlog was good, should I go out for another?

After coming back from Japan, I’ve mostly just been at home.

There hasn’t really been a reason to go out.

There’s a lot I need to do, but I feel like I’ve been a bit lethargic lately, so going out to capture some autumn leaves might be nice.

If I go alone, it feels a bit… so I should probably drag some members with me.

Or it’d be nice to meet Hyejeong after a long time.

I’ll think about this slowly…

“By the way, did everyone see the vlog that went up on YouTube? I worked pretty hard on it.”

– Yup

– Yeah

– It was just okay, haha

– Why isn’t there a face in the vlog??

“I’ll share some stories while watching it.”

I had kept the Japan stories to myself until the vlog was up.

Now that it’s out, I should share.

“Alright, let me start from the beginning…”

So I shared light stories while watching the video.

Starting from the part where Tenshi greeted me at the airport.

“In this part, this friend of mine….”

– Can’t we just call her Tenshi?

– Who’s the other friend who appears at the end of the video?

“As I keep explaining….”

Though I referred to her as a friend, it looks like everyone caught on to the fact that it’s Tenshi just from her voice, while Sake surprisingly didn’t notice.

Maybe it’s because she’s not that good at recalling being with me, and her usual voice is quite different from what’s on the broadcast.

I thought that was somewhat fortunate, and as I shared stories moderately, I glanced at the comments and saw…

– What’s so good about a woman whose face isn’t even showing? Haha; has the world gone wrong?

– LOL at your mom

– Shall we check our gay subscriber list? Haha

– Hey, no need for that

– I know her face, haha

“Wow.”

I sighed at the sight of a fight breaking out as I scrolled down the latest comments.

– ROFL

– Wow, look at the cursing

– YouTube comments can get harsh, haha

“Please stop fighting, everyone.”

It’s been happening often, and after seeing something like that once or twice, I’ve learned not to say anything.

I still see them fighting even when I delete comments.

No matter how good-natured and flawless someone appears, annoying flaws are inevitable.

Let alone me, who can’t be considered that good-natured; how could I be free from flaws?

It’s a phenomenon that comes with popularity, but…

The real issue is that my viewers keep fighting with fans from other fandoms.

When they’re cursing me, it’s one thing, but if you check the community or comments section on YouTube, it’s always somewhere that someone is fighting.

This isn’t entirely new, but it seems to have intensified lately.

It feels like they’re unleashing all the roughness they’ve developed from active participation on my broadcast elsewhere.

“I do appreciate the support, but it can look a bit much to others, you know?”

Well, it’s not like I can blame them too much—after all, my viewers aren’t fighting with others simply because of me, right?

The intensity is the issue, though.

“When you’re all fired up and angry, just wait and count to three.”

– If I don’t want to, why should I? Haha

– I’ll just curse and roam around~~

– I’m a Miro viewer, so what now? Haha

…Looks like they’re going to keep fighting.

Honestly, neither am I the type to say things that they’d actually listen to.

Even if I somehow get a promise in chat that they won’t do it, I bet we’ll see fights in the comment section a few days later.

Such issues can’t simply be suppressed by a broadcaster… so, ultimately, time will solve it.

For now, I’ll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn’t get better, I can always take stronger actions later.

“Still, if you’re going to fight, at least don’t get hurt.”

– ???

– ROFL

Putting aside the fights, at least I won’t be outmatched by anyone, right?

The problem might be that my fandom is arguing with others all day long…

“Even if I stop them, they probably won’t listen, so please don’t end up getting beaten up out there.”

If I see a comment implying someone is getting beaten online, that’d be a bit awkward.

– T_T

– Waah

– Can I practice against Miro?

“Practice? Sure, feel free. I’ll get some practice in banishing you too.”

– Ooooo

– Are they doing it??

– You just have to avoid it, haha

Anyway, I wrapped up this problem with just enough comments.

I know more talking won’t yield good results, so I needed to transition to the next topic.

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, OOO!]

Heard our juniors have a song coming out, huh?

“Is a song coming out?”

Just then, a donation hinting at another topic arrived, and I eagerly grabbed onto it.

– Yeah, there was an announcement

– They say a second album is coming

“Really?”

Actually, I heard from the manager earlier that the juniors were coming out with a song, but…

Now that an announcement has surfaced, maybe it’s finally their time?

Some time has passed since I first heard about it.

“Well… they should take care of things by themselves, right?”

– For real, haha

– Are you leaving your juniors behind now that they’ve grown a bit??

– Give some support to the juniors

The juniors are now official broadcasters too.

There’s no longer the service of having us seniors gather around to promote or watch their debut song.

They should manage just fine on their own.

“Then when I meet Harbin this time, I’ll cheer her on.”

– Ah

– When will that collaboration be?

– Give us some featuring too, okay?

“The collaboration is soon, so make sure to check it out.”

Right after returning from my trip to Japan.

I had thought of proposing a collaboration with Harbin while handling all the tasks piled up.

Back then, she hesitated a bit, so I wondered if it’d be okay…

But she eventually accepted, and the collaboration date has been set.

‘This needs to be dealt with.’

With the juniors’ second album coming out soon, does it really make sense to remain awkward with Harbin?

It’s about time to wrap up this relationship.

‘And I need to extract a featuring promise too.’

Since the composer praised Harbin, getting a featuring promise would be even better.

And who knows, right?

Harbin is a rapper, so she might also be able to compose.

As the leader and scout of the Miro Family, I always feel a need to gather more people.

While going there, if it looks good, I can invite her to join our group.

I prepared myself mentally, looking forward to the upcoming collaboration.
