A contest where desperate people are selected to win concert tickets.

…Actually, calling it a contest is just a way to clear out some stock.

But isn’t the value of an item determined by supply and demand?

Well, these are leftover VIP section tickets that are awkward to give to friends, but if you’re my fan, everyone would want to have a spot like that.

Plus, it’s beautifully wrapped as a contest prize, so people will definitely like it when they see it.

“This isn’t an everyday opportunity.”

Moreover, such chances aren’t really common.

I mean, how often do leftover VIP spots from a solo concert artist get handed out to fans?

…It’s a bit sad, but it’s true that such occurrences are rare.

– What kind of contest is this?

– What’s going on??

– Can you explain it in detail?

Maybe it’s because I’ve been vague, but I can see the viewers are itching to know.

Alright, I should let them know properly.

“Alright everyone, take a look at this.”

Seeing is believing.

Rather than babbling about it, I had requested The Six team in advance to display the poster.

[We’re looking for desperate people.]

First of all, the theme of the contest is boldly written on the poster.

Below it is a brief embellishment.

And at the very bottom, the most important prize that everyone would be interested in is written in big letters.

[Prize: VIP ticket for Miro’s solo concert]

– ??????

– Is this for real??

– No way, seriously?

Looking at the prize details, the chatroom went wild.

It’s a prize that would shock anyone watching this broadcast.

“I’ll select just 5 people, so everyone give it a try.”

I said that and showed the participation form for the contest.

The judging criteria is just one.

Express to me how desperate you are.

The selection criterion will be judged half by me and half by the viewers’ votes.

“From now until I go to sleep, it’s the contest period. Hurry up and get to it.”

The contest will only be conducted in this broadcast.

The judging may be postponed depending on circumstances.

– Wow, no way

– You could’ve given us a heads up

– I’m going to write immediately, lol

So, writing early is advantageous.

It’s a sort of speedrun to express your urgency as quickly as possible.

Well, if you’re confident, you can aim for a big impact later on.

If I go to sleep and can’t read it, that’ll be disappointing.

“Alright, let’s head to the bulletin board right away!”

Though the contest just began, in such contests, there’s usually someone who types quickly.

“Oh, there are already posts.”

Yeah, just like that.

The first page was already completely filled with posts.

“Let’s take a look at the first post.”

I clicked on the fastest written post.

[Miro, I’m really desperate for a ticket…]

I’m a viewer who watches the broadcast early every day.

It’s my dream to go to Miro’s concert, so please somehow…

– Oh, lmao

– Wow, that’s long

– This guy types super fast

– Did he post and then edit?

– What a detailed post

A fully packed post with repeated expressions of longing.

As I quickly skimmed through it, I blurted out.

“Sounds desperate, huh?”

Well, there should be some proof of that desperation, right?

At the very least, there should’ve been a certification photo of watching the broadcast every day.

This contest isn’t that lenient.

– Are you a T?

– Just saying you’re desperate is weak, lol

– Judging should be thorough, haha

“Let’s move to the next one.”

Because the first post was passed over, I read through all the posts on the first page.

Seems like everyone is just hurrying to post, no standout candidates to speak of.

“Hmm… Next.”

Well, I can take my time looking.

Even now, as I refresh the page, new posts keep appearing.

This is like an endless spring of posts.

I could really be here for hours today.

As I continued scrolling down the posts, I finally stumbled upon one with a photo attached.

[My sick little brother wants to see Miro’s concert…]

“Sick brother?”

What is this? Was it written by a family member?

Since it has a photo attached, I clicked on it.

[My sick little brother wants to see Miro’s concert…]

(A baby crying in front of a live broadcast)

My little brother cries every day, saying he wants to see Miro’s concert… Please, we need a ticket for my brother…

“…The baby is cute.”

– Hahaha

– Isn’t that just crazy?

– The baby is cute, lol

– What does a sick baby have to do with Miro’s concert? Haha

– The kid looks perfectly healthy!

– If the kid’s sick, they should go to the hospital, geez…

“Don’t tell me you squeezed them until they cried, right?”

It does look like the baby is sick.

They just seem perfectly healthy.

“If they are actually sick, you need to take them to the hospital quickly.”

Just in case, I decided to temporarily ban that post, meaning to swift away the chaos, and scrutinized more posts.

[I really want to see the concert…]

Every day, I cry thinking about how much I want to see the concert…

Watching Miro’s broadcast day by day gives me strength, but thinking I can’t go to the concert makes me lose strength each day…

I cried yesterday, I cried today, and I’ll cry again tomorrow.

Here, I leave a certification photo…

(Side profile crying certification photo)

“Oof.”

I was startled to suddenly see a real photo.

“You seem a bit older.”

– Hahaha

– Seriously, are they in their 30s?

– Wow, look at the age

– It better not be Anna’s friend, haha

– Wait, you actually uploaded your photo, lol

“Furthermore, you aren’t allowed to post personal photos on the bulletin board. It’s against the rules.”

– Is this guy really clueless about the rules?

– But earlier, a baby was fine?

– “The baby is cute, isn’t it?”

“True, but the baby is not them.”

– Fair point!

– Agreed

– Let’s give them a temporary ban for not being cute?

“Alright, the next post can’t have personal photos.”

Thus, I temporarily banned a very desperate viewer in their 30s and continued reading the next posts.

“Oh, this one has already become a popular post?”

Even so, the thread is still early, and there’s one post with lots of upvotes.

[Miro, I must have gone crazy in a moment…]

A post with an unusual title.

I immediately entered to check the content.

[Miro, I must have gone crazy in a moment…]

(Cancellation certification photo for a concert ticket)

I don’t know what I was thinking… Due to my midnight mistake, I canceled a ticket that I had successfully booked earlier…

By the time I came to my senses and tried to fix things, someone else had already taken the ticket I foolishly missed…

Could you please give me another chance?

Here’s a certification photo of my subscription to Miro’s broadcast…

(Certification photo for being a paying subscriber for 18 months)

I beg you, please show leniency…

“Hmm….”

After reading the post, I was momentarily lost for words.

It has a heartfelt content packed in the post.

I can see why it became a popular post.

I sneakily looked at the chatroom.

– Hahaha

– Hahaha

– This idiot, lol

– Poor guy, lol

– Seriously a fool, haha

– I think this is someone from the community, lol

Their sheer joy at someone else’s misfortune.

Well, actually, it is a misfortune they brought upon themselves.

But speaking of the community… I think I’ve seen this person before.

This was the person who immediately canceled when their dating rumor surfaced, right?

…What a crazy unicorn.

“I’d like to hear more details about the cancellation reason.”

Honestly, it’s a bit annoying.

– Hahaha

– Let’s hear the reason, lol

– When already knowing what’s up, haha

“Alright, I’ll leave a secret comment, so please reply if you want to clarify, and I’ll move on to the next post.”

– Hahaha

– If you want a ticket, just go for it!

Anyways… I continued to check more posts.

[I broke my TV…]

(Broken TV certification photo)

Please, I really want a ticket…

“Oof, what did you do to your TV…”

– Hahaha

– Oh no, the TV!

– What’s your TV got to do with the concert? Haha

“Please fix your TV, and let’s move on to the next post.”

[I’ve been watching Miro’s broadcast since the early stage, please, I really want to go to the concert…]

(30-month subscription certification photo)

I always fall asleep watching Miro’s broadcast, and when I wake up, I re-watch it, check YouTube during lunch, and wait for Miro’s broadcast every evening…

Please let me make more memories by attending the concert…

“Wow, 30 months already, but you haven’t been around since the early days, right?”

– Yup, haha

– What’s with those latecomers, lol

– I’ve been here for 33 months!

– Wow, Miro’s broadcast is indeed long-standing.

“Next.”

[I am a Miro broadcasting evangelist in my school]

(Class group chat certification photo)

I’m at an all-boys school.

I turned all 24 members of my class into Miro fans.

I simply want a ticket just this once…

“Ugh, what…”

– Hahaha

– Is this for real?

– Where’s your school?

– The future of this nation is doomed, haha

“I hope the classmates focus on their studies rather than watching my broadcast… next.”

Holding my head momentarily at the chaotic scene, I moved on to the next post.

[I broke up with my girlfriend…]

(KakaoTalk exchange certification photo)

I keep fighting with my girlfriend over watching Miro’s broadcast and ended up breaking up…

Now Miro is my only hope…

At that time, I failed to get a concert ticket with my girlfriend… Please give me another chance…

“Uhh… what do you think?”

– Damn, what a loser!

– Should we block that guy?

– This guy’s insane, lol

– That’s just awful

– You’re not going to concerts now, buddy…

“Well, even if you broke up, once you had a girlfriend before that point, you’re disqualified.”

So, I moved on to the next post.

[I have watched all of Miro’s movies and dramas…]

I’ve been a fan since Han Hye-jin’s time…

“Let’s skip this one.”

– Hahaha

– I agree, dramas, no way!

I continued looking at various posts.

[I even deserted the army just to see the concert…]

“Ooh, go back to where you belong.”

[If you don’t give me a ticket, I’ll cry!!]

“Oh, why so intense?”

After hours of this, I finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Is there not a single sane person here….”

– Hahaha

– Seriously

– Do these guys have mental issues? Haha

– This is a domestic mental health issue forum, lol

Is this a contest of desperation or a begging contest?

I’m on the verge of getting a headache.

“Alright… let’s take a look at the next one.”

But there’s no way I could stop here.

Holding my head again, I clicked the next post.

…I guess I’ll have to face the disaster I’ve summoned.
