Kayak’s achievement of 1 million views caused quite a stir in the Twitch community.
Hitting 1 million views in just a day, 24 hours, is no easy feat at all.
Of course, it wasn’t achieved on Kayak’s own VTube channel, but rather on Jun Hyun’s channel, which has 500,000 subscribers. Still, it was an impressive accomplishment.
While Kayak didn’t think much of it, the people around her were in uproar. This was due to the viewers’ shady yet childish nature.
It’s always about ranking who’s the better broadcaster. The evaluations are based on live stream viewership or subscriber counts on VTube.
That’s why comments like “Shouldn’t we include Kayak in the Twitch Four Heavenly Kings?” started popping up. Whether they replaced a member or expanded it to five, the implication was clear.
This meant that Kayak’s status had significantly risen.
She had been streaming before, but now she was a streamer on the verge of a year, eyeing the “king” title without being overshadowed by major corporations—what a ridiculous situation.
Every step she took was a testament to her impact on the Twitch scene. Even the haters who subtly disliked her had no choice but to silence themselves. The jabs about her looks and inability to manage VTube, while frequent, have now run dry.
How could anyone criticize someone who’s proven to be nearly perfect? In the gallery where roasting and mocking streamers is the norm, even those who usually throw shade put their hands up in surrender when it comes to Kayak.
“Our streamer gallery humbly admits defeat.”
From the first month of her stream until now, she has consistently ranked in viewership.
She is the creator of the Abyss gallery.
The champion of the 2nd Taker’s Abyss Streamer Tournament.
A researcher who tirelessly studied Camilla and finally brought this low-tier character into the league, possessing skills comparable to the pros, and an Abyss gamer to boot.
Breaking the stereotype of Dullahan being too unattractive to show their cam,
and despite countless unfair criticisms, she still managed to pull off a video with 1 million views in just 24 hours.
As the representative of the streamer gallery, we hereby recognize Streamer Kayak as the new sun of Twitch.
– Kayak, with her pretty face, deserves to take over Twitch rather than some washed-up Taker.
– What a long intro.
– Switching gears after roasting her like that is just…
– Honestly, it was a lost cause since she revealed her face, lol.
– Guess they’re acknowledging defeat since they probably deserve to be sued, haha!
Rino hahaha
– Despite the slander from the infamous streamer gallery, Lee Jun Hyuk of Fusion Gaming is looking impressive as he secures the top rank for the season…
– Your Majesty…
Even in the notorious streamer gallery, while Kayak was being hailed as the new king of Twitch,
Kayak’s broadcast went live.
This happened just four hours after the VTube boxing video hit a million views.

They say when you wake up, the world changes, and that’s exactly what it looked like.
Of course, I’ve experienced waking up to a changed world myself, but anyway.
The content was a huge success.
I only realized it later after hearing from the editors and listening to the excited voice of the channel’s owner, Jun Hyun. I had heard that a video went up, but I only checked it once at first and wasn’t keeping an eye on its progress.
To express my feelings… it was joyful. Is there anything better than doing something and having a decent outcome?
Above all, I felt most proud that the result came from a decision I made. I chose an ad that seemed interesting out of the various ones that came in, but in the end, it’s still a path I selected.
I felt like I might have some foresight. I was rolling around on my bed, wondering if I indeed had a knack for picking people and making choices.
Anyway, the outcome was good, so my mood was also good. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to go live. After all, I should express my gratitude to my fans and viewers for helping out in all sorts of ways.
‘Weak Camilla is live!’
– The broadcaster with a million views.
I started the broadcast with a grand title, unlike my usual style.
I opened the camera, striking a confident pose like a general returning from a victorious campaign.
The subtle chime of voice donations was a nice bonus.
[Hahaha]
[Congratulations on 9th place in the standings]
[What’s with the energy today hahaha starting with the camera]
[With epic background music and an epic Kayak… my heart feels epic too]
[Teacher, you’re at 1.18 million now]
“Ahh, nice to meet you. I’m Kayak, the streamer with a million views.”
I purposely posed with a throat-clear and tilted my head this way and that arrogantly. I had no particular reason for it; I just felt like doing it today.
I twisted and turned. Just because I wanted to today for no particular reason.
Then suddenly, I sat down, feeling embarrassed, and slowly started to speak. I should be sitting down and saying what I planned to say, not making a fuss.
“Um, first of all, thank you. It’s all thanks to you guys. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even reached my goal, and I definitely wouldn’t have hit a million views this quickly. Thanks to you, Jun Hyun is super happy too….”
[So, was this the first time the viewers helped?]
[It’s not the first time; the growth of KayakTube is all thanks to who?]
[Looks like a lot of new viewers came in because of this video; KayakTube is hitting 500k soon.]
[But this time, it really seems to have gone viral; ordinary people are watching a ton.]
[The kids at school are imitating it and calling it the Kayak Punch.]
[There’s even a Kayak Challenge, yep.]
“Kayak Challenge?”
Hearing it from a viewer, this is what it was about.
A famous TikToker posted a video of themselves hitting a punching bag, wanting to get good at boxing, and it contained a scene of me boxing.
People who saw it started making videos of themselves hitting punching bags like that person, which spread and turned into a sort of challenge.
It’s a good thing. It’s what you’d call a virtuous cycle, right? This too must have had a considerable impact on achieving a million views and going viral.
[Kayak, the King of Twishi, has donated 1,000 won!]
– You’ve hit a million; aren’t you doing any events?
“Events? Hmm, it’s a good thing, but I didn’t actually commit to anything from the start….”
[This place is a bit lacking in service.]
[Do a Camilla cosplay!]
[Please stream wearing the Snowflake Queen Camilla costume.]
[Haha, just existing is a cosplay; why would I do a Camilla cosplay?]
[A horror game, go go?]
[24-hour stream.]
Events, huh? I thought it was a bit sudden, but maybe the viewers felt differently as they pressured me in no time.
However, I hadn’t prepared anything today. I originally just planned to turn on the stream briefly to say thanks.
With viewers demanding events and me having no thoughts on it, how should I handle this?
Pro streamers are experts at managing their viewers. They know how to use both the stick and the carrot to satisfy their audience’s needs while achieving their own goals. I’ve marveled at that many times.
Now that I have quite a bit of streaming experience myself, I may not be able to orchestrate things as brilliantly, but I could manage an imitation to some extent.
Even if I can’t harmonize, I can at least imitate it to some extent.
“I was going to take a break, but I wanted to see you all and come here to say thank you… Don’t you all miss me?”
With my gaze fixed on the cam, I lowered my eyes and put on a slightly gloomy expression. Following that, the chat began to tremble.
[Ah… Aaaah…]
[Even though it’s a rare break, it’s impressive that the Kayak turned on the stream for the viewers…]
[Are we finally gunning for the serious broth now?]
[I’m a female streamer, and Kayak is definitely a female streamer ㅇㅇ]
[With all this streaming and other content, what kind of event do you need?]
[Don’t be fooled, lol. This person did the same thing last time.]
[It’s obvious they’re trying to show they’re hurt on purpose; maybe turning on the cam made it effective….]
[A smart streamer who knows how to use their weapons well.]
The public sentiment quickly calmed down. Those who kept typing “don’t be fooled” also quieted down after watching the cam for about 10 seconds.
Looking at it this way, Camilla’s appearance feels surprisingly outstanding. It’s effective for calming the viewers too.

-Even if it’s not an event, are you still streaming? What are you doing today?
“Today’s stream… Shall we gently play Abyss and chat while queuing? Abyss again, is this person always Abyss?… What’s wrong with Abyss? Is this a lazy stream? I’ve figured out that I’m the lazy streaming type now?”
There really wasn’t a game as easy to play without preparation as Abyss. That’s probably why it’s called a god game.
Even the viewers expressing dissatisfaction would just talk, but once the game was on, they’d be glued to the screen. That’s how it always had been.
However, my plan to connect with the viewers while playing Abyss couldn’t be executed.
[Abyss is under maintenance, apparently.]
“Ah.”
As one viewer pointed out, Abyss was currently under emergency maintenance due to server problems.
It would take about two hours until the maintenance was over. I had originally planned to play Abyss for about two hours before leaving.
So, what am I going to do during that time? There’s nothing in particular to do, so should I just end the stream and come back tomorrow?
I was pondering this for a moment when a viewer donated a huge amount, demanding fresh content.
