Chapter 113 - Cheating Day Chapter 113
My House
“A friend without a greed for money.”
Hong Seong-il, the CEO of Hongdangmu Entertainment, said.
Pyo Seung-jae, who introduced himself while apologizing for the Kim Seo-jin incident, was the top investment expert in the country.
If you look at it from a 5 to 10-year perspective, it would significantly increase your assets, but I couldn’t understand why you would decline.
“You didn’t come just to refuse me.” Does this mean you want to receive something else?
“That’s right.”
The aged kimchi answered.
Hong Seong-il quietly examined the aged kimchi.
During my time at Hongdangmu Entertainment, the Planning Support Team was essentially run by Muk-ji.
Moreover, not only was the Kim Seo-jin incident resolved rationally and promptly, but the place I moved to also achieved significant growth.
There must have been an influence from the aged kimchi.
‘The more I see it, the more I feel it’s a waste.’
Even now, while making demands, he showed a humble attitude by yielding the initiative in the conversation to Hong Seong-il, which I couldn’t stand.
“Go ahead and speak.”
“To the representative of Banchan, a place is more important than money.”
“Place?”
“Yes.”
The aged kimchi was accurately identifying the side dish store and the side dishes.
Banchan-yong’s wit, friendliness, and warmth drew people in.
With his unique wit and friendliness, he managed to secure a core fanbase of 100,000 even with an irregular broadcasting schedule.
One of them, Joo Ji-seung, willingly stepped forward to help Ban Chan-yong when he was having difficulties.
Thanks to that, the side dish store was able to expand its audience in a short period of time.
The reason why Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin helped with the side dishes was the same.
Currently, both Jimkkun, with 2.67 million subscribers, and Ugenius, with 1.45 million subscribers, were not large channels from the start.
Banchan Yong volunteered to be the editor for Cha Ji-chan, who hadn’t even opened a YouTube channel, purely out of goodwill.
Within the Jimkkun channel, there was no one who didn’t know the role of banchan up to this point.
Therefore, all the employees, including Cha Ji-chan and PD Ahn Sang-kyu, willingly rolled up their sleeves for any task that Ban Chan-young undertook.
In the case of Ugenius, they couldn’t establish a channel identity because they covered all sorts of topics, and they didn’t get picked by the YouTube algorithm because they uploaded entire original videos that were 3-4 hours long.
The person who offered a solution to Baek Woo-jin was Ban Chan-yong.
Baek Woo-jin, who loves to explain, talked for three to four hours on a single topic, making it difficult to find an editor willing to take on the work, and there was no budget to hire staff either.
Banchanyong helped Baek Woo-jin compress the long video to around 30 minutes and succeeded in transforming the previously unruly and chaotic Ugenius into the country’s leading fact-checking channel.
It took two years of purely goodwill to establish itself like that.
Neither Cha Ji-chan nor Baek Woo-jin saw Ban Chan-yong as an editor.
Since I regarded them as an irreplaceable benefactor and friend from being my startup partner, I treated them at the highest level in the industry once our respective channels stabilized.
If they had met in a simple contractual relationship, Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin would not have been as enthusiastic about Ban Chan-yong’s personal broadcast growth and health management as they are now.
Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin split their own time and even turned down incoming work to help with the side dishes.
The side dish store has secured 500,000 subscribers.
The saying “you reap what you sow” was coming true just as it is.
And just a month ago.
Banchan-yong started sowing seeds once again.
A meal that diabetes patients can enjoy without worry in an era with 6 million diabetes patients, a restaurant that can be visited without financial burden in an era of high prices.
Even though he was already making sufficient profits, Banchan-yong tried in every possible way to address the issues he felt.
This time, however, I wasn’t alone.
Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin, who had been watching over the side dishes for a long time, willingly joined in.
The task that started with just three people for side dishes eventually involved thousands and tens of thousands of people.
The aged kimchi that had been observed and shared in the process seemed as if a miracle had occurred.
Citizens who responded to Baek Seung-yong’s warm heart and goodwill voluntarily participated in the donations.
The kind act passed from mouth to mouth became known nationwide through the news.
Ban Chan-yong, who had already gained recognition through the airing of “Baekban Ttara” on WTV, was now on the verge of reaching 700,000 subscribers, thanks to news coverage by terrestrial broadcasting stations and the sympathy generated by the Kim Seo-jin incident.
Mugunji trusted the path he had walked and his own eyes.
“Please arrange a seat for the representative of Banchan at WTV.”
Representative Hong Seong-il didn’t show it, but he was genuinely surprised.
I wondered what they would say when they said they needed a place, but asking for a spot at one of the four major broadcasting companies in South Korea made me unsure if it was a big request or just too greedy.
“I can recognize it, but…”
It wasn’t an unreasonable task for Hong Seong-il, who was already networking with each broadcasting station for his affiliated broadcasters.
“Think about it again.” If you trust that friend, you can earn 10% a year. If you suffer a loss because of Pyo Seung-jae, I will compensate you. “Why would you deliberately take on risks when there’s an easy, risk-free path available?”
Looking at it objectively, just because it was fixed on one program didn’t necessarily mean it would lead to profit.
Even if the program was well done, it could still be overshadowed by the side dishes.
After all, everything is a means to make money. Hong Seong-il couldn’t understand why Ban Chan-yong and Muk-geun-ji were willing to take the risk to go back.
“A greater result will naturally follow.”
Muk Eun-ji looked at CEO Hong Seong-il and said.
“Is it certainty?”
“Yes.”
“Analysis and faith are different.”
Hong Seong-il did not conclude whether the answer given by the aged kimchi was trusted for its side dish or if it was due to a coldly analyzed conclusion.
“One more question.” Isn’t there already Baekban Dara on WTV? I heard that PD Park Sang-cheol has also been secured. If it had achieved that kind of success, there would have been talk about a season 2. Is there really any reason for you to ask me for a favor?
“Despite recording a viewership rating of 9%, Season 1 of ‘Baekban Ttara’ was cut short.” As you mentioned, despite achieving sufficient results, I had no choice but to step down.
It was because of money.
It was WTV’s programming department’s choice to maximize revenue during the 15 minutes between the news and the drama.
Hong Seong-il nodded.
What are the capable young people, who had to be pushed out despite delivering results, thinking?
He could fully understand because he had the same experience.
“Good.” Just consider this as paying off the debt.
“Understood.”
The aged kimchi was certain.
What side dish needed most was not the capital to start a big business.
It was the space where his voice would be heard and the strength to protect it.
If that were to happen, money and fame would merely be natural byproducts.

“What are you talking about?” Money is the best, right?
After finishing the MSG broadcast and chatting with the viewers about trivial matters, someone sent a super chat.
└[Intermittent Fasting Vinegar has donated 10,000 won]: Thanks to Chan Yong, I’ve realized that money isn’t everything. Please continue to do good things in the future.
└hahahahahahahah
Money is the best, damn it, lol.
└Haha, money is everything, right? Haha
“You’ve lived without me, right?” But seriously, it’s all about the money first. The beginning is money. Think about it. What’s the most important thing in the world? 목숨. That’s my life too.
The viewers repeatedly sent “eeung.”
How do I survive? You have to eat, dress, and sleep, right? Food, clothing, and shelter. But you need money to secure those basic necessities. Well, those who can go live alone in the mountains are fine. But if I’m alone in the mountains, I’ll starve to death. 그래. I’ve been eating well, so I can probably last a few months.
└A few months?
Last time, they said it would last for 5 years, lol.
It seems like it can last at least 10 years.
└hahahahaha
Anyway. If you really don’t have money, you can’t do anything. 그래. There’s a saying that time is money, right? The “gold” being referred to here means money. You’ve heard of the gold standard, right? It means that if you don’t have money, you can’t even buy time.
That’s not what I meant.
└This guy is talking nonsense again, lol.
└Don’s writing
“So money is the beginning.” To start something, it is absolutely necessary. Even time requires money. This is what I’m saying. But there’s a saying that starting is half the battle. It’s not all of it.
I took a sip of water.
“What’s the reason for needing money?” Okay. You’re here to buy me a meal, right? In the end, we earn money to buy time, and with that money, we eat. In other words, we live to eat. This is what I mean.
I’m really feeling dizzy.
└Hey! Make that dog stop barking!
└But isn’t that true? It’s true that earning money is an action to buy time. Growing, harvesting, and distributing rice all take time, but you’re just settling it with money.
You should listen to this guy’s words with one ear and let them out the other. If you listen to it, it seems right, but it always ends up being concluded strangely.
These people always say that my opinions are wrong.
“Therefore, dear Intermittent Fasting Vinegar, the money you gave will turn into barley rice today and go into my stomach.” Thank you for the ten thousand won.
└A refund, please.
“No.” No. No refunds. It’s also written in the Civil Code. Civil Code Article 1. If there are no legal provisions regarding civil matters, customary law shall apply. We have a long and rich history, don’t we? Gave it, but didn’t take it back. “Once a card is drawn, it cannot be put back.”
I am a lawyer. Since Mr. Vinegar specified to use the super chat for a good cause, a refund request may be accepted if the conditions are not met.
└LOL
└The lawyer appears
“Are you really a lawyer?”
I was flustered and asked, but got two “E”s back.
“There can be different perspectives on what the term ‘good place’ means, right?”
└So pathetic.
Earning 100 million won a month and being stingy with just 10,000 won.
└You’ve lost the initial spirit for side dishes.
└Nope. He was originally obsessed with money.
└hahahahahahahaha
└[Intermittent Fasting Vinegar has donated 100,000 won]: Use this to eat beef and do something good with the 10,000 won. You bad guy.
“Oh my!” Vinegar, thank you.
I was thinking it was about time to stop joking around and go eat some mukbang.
Just as happy as when the barley rice restaurant owner gave me two fried eggs, something wonderful happened.
└hahahahahahahahahaha
I really can’t tell what their true intentions are, lol.
That’s the concept. The kid who donates thousands of their own money wouldn’t just do that with a measly ten thousand won, right? LOL
└For real? The diabetes uncle was super rich.
It’s not thousands, but we did break a few hundred with the luxury cars. It’s still public, so go check it out.
└ When the lawyer bro came, he was all serious, but then he got 100,000 won and started grinning. So annoying, lol.
