“Howdy. How have you been?”

Professor Sang-Hyun Kim. He is the head of the Department of Media Communication at our school.

I signed up for two of his lectures, ‘Media and Image Making’ and ‘Media Storytelling’.

A young age for a professor in his early 40s. Besides, the class is fun.

He is probably the most popular professor in our department.

Among the words I quoted as ‘the words of my department professor’, there were a lot of words about this nobleman.

“Hello.”

I also greeted you warmly.

This week, I came out to school because I was going to have a ‘face-to-face lecture’.

But Professor Kim Sang-hyun sent me a KakaoTalk message first.

– Hyunjun seems to be doing well these days. If you come early from school, would you like to come to my lab for a while before class?

– Hello professor. Then I’ll see you 30 minutes before class starts.

– Okay.

‘The professor seems to know that I do YouTube.’

I muttered to myself, and after passing the time, I knocked on the door of the professor’s lab.

“uh. uh. sit down. It’s hard to see students’ faces because of Corona. Aren’t we seeing each other for the first time in half a year?”

“yes. that’s right. hahahaha.”

“I know. Even in the first semester, at the beginning of the semester, I saw your face for a while and then I didn’t see you again. Back then, I thought the real corona would end soon.”

“yes. I hope this semester isn’t like that. I almost lost my way to school.”

i made a joke

“hehehehe.”

Professor Kim Sang-hyun smiled and asked a question with a serious expression.

“I saw you active on YouTube. Was it great?”

also. He called me separately because he knew the news as a YouTuber.

“uh. Even the professor knows.”

“I think everyone in our department probably knows, doesn’t it? If one or two students find out, it spreads throughout the entire department.”

“yes. if… . Did you subscribe?”

“huh. then. I did.”

Professor Kim Sang-hyun answered with a grin.

“I am cheering for you a lot. I don’t know if it will help.”

“It would be an honor if the professor even subscribed. It helps too.”

In fact, if you find out that I’m doing YouTube, it means you’ve learned a lot of other things too.

Birth secret, mother’s identity, wealth level, etc.

However, Professor Kim Sang-hyun, like a teacher, seemed to have no intention of bringing up such a topic.

‘That’s why it’s popular with students.’

“As Hyun-Jun knows, I always talk to the students in my department. You better start expressing yourself as soon as possible through your media.”

“yes. yes. That’s why my YouTube friends support me a lot.”

“huh. So, Hee-yeon was the friend with the most subscribers in our department, but her ranking completely changed after spending one summer vacation. It’s a surprise.”

“Honestly, luck. Heeyeon also shares my channel.”

“that’s right. You know that. It’s a kind of MCN (multi-channel network).”

“hahahaha. that’s right.”

I smiled and nodded.

And, after a little hesitation, he confided in Professor Kim Sang-hyun.

“Actually, there is a channel where the members split from channels called ＜Jinsimo＞ and ＜Hansimo＞.”

“oh. ＜Hansimo＞ You know.”

“That channel also belonged to the same network as us.”

It’s information that I don’t bother telling others, but I thought it was okay to tell Professor Kim Sang-hyun.

“Oh oh. Then Hyunjun is not the owner of a channel anymore, but he is the head of a decent MCN?”

“omg. Are you ‘chief’? It’s a bit grandiose.”

“hahahaha. still. That’s right. It is far greater than I realized on the surface.”

“Actually, I have something to tell you about that.”

“oh. What?”

“This time, it’s an assignment for the ＜Media and Image Making＞ lecture.”

“huh.”

“You told me to research a case of creating an image in the media and write an assignment.”

“It did?”

Professor Kim showed curiosity and continued to agree.

“So I’m going to write an assignment with YouTube trends these days. I wanted to ask the professor if the purpose of the assignment was right.”

“oh. What?”

“The word MCN came up anyway.”

“huh. yes.”

“I don’t know how long this has been, but a lot of channels are running baby channels secretly.”

“A chick channel?”

Professor Kim tilted his head.

“yes. To put it in a word, the popular channels these days are actually playing the role of ‘heads’ of MCNs. But you’re hiding that fact.”

I deliberately used the word ‘chief’ used by Professor Kim Sang-hyun again to explain.

“oh. Please tell me in detail.”

It was definitely Professor Kim’s reaction as someone who studies hard.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he urged him to continue talking.

“First of all, it’s like that from me. Shortly after starting the channel, I recruited Heeyeon.”

“ah.”

“We didn’t just recruit Hee-yeon as a performer and it ended, we recruited her as a channel. Of course, I didn’t touch the profit distribution like normal MCNs.”

“That’s right. You didn’t stop scouting Hee-yeon, you recruited a channel called ‘Yeon-nim’.”

“that’s right. And soon after, I recruited ＜Jinsimo＞.”

“hmm. hmm.”

“It happened to me as well, but it seemed like a phenomenon that could happen very naturally.”

“natural? What does it mean?”

“When you try various things to grow a channel, you naturally think, ‘Should I make another channel?’ or ‘Shall I merge it with that channel?’”

“aha.”

Professor Kim nodded his head.

“That makes sense. so?”

“So, from that point of view, quite a lot of channels operate like MCNs. For example.”

“For example?”

Professor Kim showed curiosity and kept pushing back.

“Do you know Park Jeong-gu?”

“Park Jeong-gu? That gangster YouTuber?”

“oh. professor. also! You know.”

It is clear that Professor Kim Sang-hyun is working hard on YouTube monitoring.

It’s definitely not something that viewers of Professor Kim Sang-hyun’s age can enjoy.

“know. I’m a famous person in my own way. A professor should try to see all famous things even if they don’t match his taste.”

Professor Kim frowned and said.

“yes. yes. The human being is also open and has a lot of baby YouTuber channels. They use it to show off their power.”

“oh. Right. that’s right. I think I do that while doing a lot of merging.”

“yes. On the other hand, there are many places that thoroughly hide the operation of MCNs.”

“For example?”

“Do you know ＜Common Sense Channel＞?”

“huh? I don’t know about that.”

Professor Kim tilted his head.

It’s because common sense and Park Jung-goo differ in the number of subscribers by one zero.

“There is such a place.”

I briefly explained the Common Sense Channel to Professor Kim.

“hmm. hmm. It’s just like that.”

“yes. By the way, what did this place do to us… .”

I explained what we found out about common sense.

“wow. Did you find out by responding with a mixture of lies?”

Professor Kim widened his eyes.

“yes. that’s right.”

“wow. That’s great.”

Professor Kim was amazed.

“In that way, it’s like putting a face on a channel that looks fine on the outside. Pretending to be a normal reporter on the outside, uploading the stimulating information you get during the interview through a hidden channel.”

“and. You wrote that well.”

“And it wasn’t me, but there was this. It’s a car channel, but it makes a lot of its own baby channels. But since my mom’s channel is already strong, I get and eat that bean curd and grow up quickly.”

“Hmm. Where is that?”

I found three channels on YouTube and showed them to my professor.

“There is a big channel that pushes you from behind, so it’s only natural that it grows quickly, right? But that fact in and of itself makes these channels grow faster.”

“Hoo.”

“MCN who wants to show off their power like a gangster. An MCN created to do bad things behind the scenes. An MCN created to pretend to cause a storm. There were so many of these.”

After I cleaned up, Professor Kim asked.

“So, what does this have to do with ‘media and image making’?”

“Yes. It’s an example of using MCN to create a revealing image.”

“oh. oh. That’s right. there is.”

Professor Kim smiled and nodded.

“I’m going to research this and give it as an assignment this semester, is it okay?”

“Oh oh.”

Professor Kim continued with a happy expression.

“I was worried that Hyun-joon wouldn’t be able to study hard after hitting the jackpot on YouTube, but instead, you finished the research project?”

“lol. Being on site, it was very helpful.”

“that’s right. that’s right. There are far more times when the achievements of kids who do nothing and study hard are much better than students who study hard and see things in the field. Hyunjun was an excellent student, but rather, being a YouTuber would be a synergy. Im happy.”

“however…”

I spoke carefully.

“huh? What? say it.”

“Anyway, I’m not doing this alone. Can I do it with my colleagues?”

“colleague? Heeyeon? huh. yes. Because the two of them run the channel together. The two of you write an assignment together. Instead of doing it together, gather a lot of data. Then you can admit it.”

“I have one more.”

“huh? Did you? who? Is there another colleague in our class?”

“It’s a criminal… .”

“Bum Soo? Criminal?”

Professor Kim Sang-hyun put on a look of thought for a moment.

“ah! Beomsu! Did he do it too?”

“Ugh… . How good is he at editing?”

It was the moment when I thought that we should develop Beom-soo’s presence on our channel.

* * *

Two days later, Sangsik and I started the second shoot.

“wow! This is the studio for ＜Nobody’s Doing＞ that you’ve only heard about! It is an honour.”

Sang-sik entered the studio showing his manners and good manners.

“yes. hahahaha. welcome.”

Me, Beomsu, and Heeyeon gathered to welcome Sangsik and two staff members.

“oh. Even Mr. Yeon is here today! Nice to meet you!”

Sang-sik did not forget to say hello to Hee-yeon.

“yes. yes. nice to meet you.”

Heeyeon also smiled and said hello.

All three of them hated common sense, but they all thought this in their hearts.

‘Come on! Assignment investigation data!’

“ha ha ha. All three of you are so happy that I don’t know what to do.”

“Whoops. It’s nice to see you.”

Common sense knows that it is ‘double coverage’ of us.

But in our view, we are now the ones doing the reporting.

“But to really get in here, you have to pass through the martial arts dojo.”

“yes. hahahaha. It’s a safety device of its own. We are also merging together.”

Come to think of it, in the process of increasing the size of MCN, the first channel I will recruit is Sungchan Kim’s channel.

“wow. The equipment is awesome. After all, the power of capital is…”

Common sense joked cautiously.

“Today’s topic is to talk about financial power in growing a channel. lol.”

Common sense muttering like this while looking at my eyes.

“sure. sure.”

I smiled and nodded.
