HSIU Korean Branch Operations Team
〈HSIU Gangbuk Branch〉 ━ No.noname (LIVE Standby)
“Manager, who turned on the bodycam live?”
The youngest member, who was on duty that day, called out to Manager Yong-gu Lee, who was eating ramen on the side.
“Dammit. Which idiot pressed the live button again?”
Yong-gu Lee slurped his ramen and stomped over to the youngest.
Bodycam Live Broadcast
It was a project planned on a large scale by 〈HSIU International Headquarters〉, with the aim of linking live broadcasts of HSIU Hunters eliminating criminals to Hunter Tube.
However, in South Korea, it had become a huge nuisance.
The problem was the live broadcast itself.
Some time ago, HSIU had activated live broadcasts while operating bodycams on a country-by-country basis.
To actively broadcast how hard HSIU Hunters fought against Awakened criminals, and how strong they were.
It was a broadcast intended to promote ‘HSIU’.
However, the results were disastrous.
━ 𝐊𝐚𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐮: A gathering place for idiots, isn’t it?
━ㅇㅇ: F***ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this a promotional channel? Isn’t this high-level anti?
━𝐒𝐒𝐒-𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: Even if I fought with my toes, I could fight better than those guys.
━𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲: This is definitely promotion. No one will enter HMCS after watching this video.
━𝐎𝐫𝐜 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰-𝐢𝐭-𝐚𝐥𝐥: Instead of watching this crap, I’d rather watch another video of idol Hunter Yui. . . .
Public scorn and ridicule followed every video uploaded to Hunter Tube.
The viewership was disastrous, and the related content even made the news.
「 There are concerns that incompetent HSIU should leave Awakened crime to guilds. . .」
In the end, except for a few countries with decent reactions, an order came down to indefinitely suspend the live function.
The Korean branch was no exception.
Therefore, the bodycams were currently focused solely on the recording function, and only the decent ones among the recorded videos were edited and uploaded to the HSIU channel.
“Manager, should I call?”
“Wait and see, kid.”
Manager Yong-gu Lee looked at the monitor with irritation.
He wanted to find out which punk had pressed the live button instead of the recording button.
“Tsk, you’re just pressing buttons for nothing. Call the Team Leader and tell him what the hell. . . Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
The youngest asked in surprise when Manager Yong-gu Lee stopped talking in the middle of his irritation.
He just stared at the monitor with his mouth open.
“Hey, what’s that guy’s affiliation?”
“That. . . He’s affiliated with Team Leader Hwang Jeong-gu of Gangbuk Branch.”
“Isn’t that bodycam Hwang Jeong-gu himself?”
In the Korean branch of HSIU, Hwang Jeong-gu’s name was quite well known. Thanks to his crude but powerful fighting style, his name was often mentioned even among Awakened criminals, and he had a small fan base.
“No, he’s not. The access code is different, and it says he’s a newbie.”
“Huh. Hwang Jeong-gu raised a monster.”
Manager Yong-gu Lee exclaimed in admiration without realizing it.
He was also a person who had seen countless battles of Hunters as he climbed the ranks to Manager.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had seen all the battles of the Hunters belonging to HSIU Korea.
That’s why he could tell that this Hunter was no ordinary person.
“Kid, turn on the live broadcast.”
“Yes. . . Yes?? You mean cancel the live broadcast?”
The youngest was bewildered.
Live broadcasts from the Korean branch were currently indefinitely suspended.
They had even stopped comments because they couldn’t erase all the curses that followed each video.
Was he going to add fuel to the fire that hadn’t even gone out yet?
“Hey. I’ll take the heat. You just tell them I ordered it.”
Yong-gu Lee looked at the figure beyond the monitor with the expression of someone looking at a ripe fruit.
Of course, his face was not visible.
The bodycam was a camera attached to the body that only filmed the opponent.
The youngest hesitated for a moment, but followed Yong-gu’s words.
A green light came on for the live broadcast.
It felt like a monster’s gaze, fiercely shooting out.
“I’ll turn it on now. . . Really.”
The youngest glanced at Yong-gu Lee for a moment, then immediately synchronized with Hunter Tube.
Click.
The moment the live video was uploaded to Hunter Tube.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
“175 live views, 32,000 views for edited videos, 900 likes, and 55 dislikes.”
Baek Geon-ho, the branch manager of HSIU’s Korean branch, checked the video on Hunter Tube while reading an internet article.
32,000 views.
To others, it might seem like a very small number.
However, it was definitely not the case in Branch Manager Baek Geon-ho’s eyes.
Potential.
What he read from the numbers was the ‘potential of live broadcasts’.
Compared to the disastrous viewership and comments of the last time, this attempt was a very encouraging event.
At first, the viewership was only a few hundred.
That was because the number of people subscribed to the HSIU channel was small, and most importantly, people’s awareness and interest were lacking.
No, they weren’t even interested.
━ 𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐨 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: Hey, did you know that Gert came to our country this time? My younger brother goes to the Hunter Association, and he said that Gert came to Korea to find a Hunter who killed his family.
━ 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭: Isn’t that guy an A-rank Hunter?? Who the hell would mess with an A-rank Hunter’s family?
━ ㅇㅁㄹㄴ: Oh my, I saw a live video on HMCS this time, and someone captured it. But the Hunter who appeared in it looked exactly like Gert?
━ 𝐒𝐒𝐒𝐒𝐒-𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤: I watched that video too and it was awesome. . Wow, the assassins were so strong, then Gert appeared but he killed them all
━ 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫: In my opinion, I think HMCS brought in a Hunter as a mercenary to increase their popularity and asked him to pretend to be Gert. The HMCS performance we’ve seen so far hasn’t been like this.
However, thanks to the few people who watched the live broadcast, the rumors spread like wildfire.
When speculative articles about a battle between an A-rank Hunter and Korean HSIU appeared, the viewership skyrocketed in just one day.
“32,000, 32,000. Is that guy named Gert so great?”
Baek Geon-ho asked Manager Yong-gu Lee, who was standing next to him, nervously. Yong-gu Lee had been called in by Baek Geon-ho himself to explain as the mastermind (?) who had uploaded the video.
“Yes? Ah, yes, he is! He’s an A-rank Hunter and a successful Hunter who served as the 1st Squad Leader of the [𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝], one of the three major guilds in Hong Kong! He was also included in the top 100 promising Hunters selected by Fortune magazine a while ago.”
“Oh? Really? He’s a bigger shot than I thought. But such a successful Hunter lost to one of our HSIU Hunters, and even with assassins?”
“Yes, that’s right!!”
Baek Geon-ho seemed to be in a good mood at that fact, as a thick smile spread across his lips.
“Manager Lee, I want you to focus on this guy and upload more videos. Consult with the marketing department and renew the HSIU channel a bit.”
“A-Already?”
