“Anyway, I’ve said everything I wanted to say, so I’m ending the broadcast. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Kayak ended the broadcast with those words, as if she no longer wanted to talk to them.
Interpreting her message was simple. Whether I’m a lesbian or not doesn’t really matter, so what can you guys do about it?
Kayak threw down the gauntlet, but when you think about it, viewers had plenty of options.
Not watching her broadcast, for example. It’s kind of like a boycott.
In reality, viewers were notoriously cold; if a particular streamer made controversial remarks or picked fights with their audience, their viewer count would drop, and they would naturally fade away.
This time, Kayak’s broadcast was no different. To be precise, Kayak’s wrongdoing wasn’t that serious, but that wasn’t the important part.
The important thing was that she outright used casual language with the viewers, something she normally didn’t do, showing her irritation.
[Why is Kayak like this?]
[Live Kayak Piddlesticks Show, lololol]
[Uh oh, this woman is upset]
[As expected, the viciousness of a Korean woman... it's impossible to hide!]
[These guys started everything, lol, and now she’s upset? I can't!]
So, to put it bluntly, she was “blooding herself.”
They coined the term “blooding” to describe a female streamer telling off her viewers in a misogynistic manner.
It was exceedingly rare for Kayak to get this upset. Throughout her broadcasts, she had always maintained her composure and had never truly lost her temper.
Yet, this time, she finally got angry, and her trolls, the anti-fans who loved to poke at her, expected her broadcast to take a hit.
The problem was Kayak’s uniqueness.
She was a big name among streamers with no substitutes, and she had an established foothold in the industry.
To put it bluntly, whether Kayak quit streaming or not didn’t really matter. She was the kind of person who could do anything and still come out on top. Even now, people in the broadcasting industry were begging her to appear on their shows, so there was no real reason for her to cling to personal streaming.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of mainstream media; she had already proven herself to work on mainstream shows through two appearances. Not only did she work, but she also hit it big, nearly as much as her personal broadcasts.
It wasn’t just at a level; it hit as hard as a personal broadcast.
Kayak, who receives feedback that she could be placed as the center of a girl group without any sense of incompatibility.
For this reason, her viewers, her fans, felt respect and gratitude towards Kayak, who remained dedicated to her personal broadcast despite numerous love calls.
To them, it was as if a talented person who could venture into a wider world was sticking with the original league to uphold loyalty to the fans who love her. She was like a potential dragon coiled up in a well, unable to fully extend her body.
Such actions could not appear unrealistic to her fans. No matter how trendy internet broadcasting became and how many famous streamers emerged, it remained nothing but the gloomy culture of the underground.
Despite having the opportunity to step into the limelight, she did not forget her roots and continued to immerse herself in the shadows, in the mud.
Kayak’s fans often jokingly said that as long as Kayak didn’t commit serious crimes like killing someone, they would remain her fans regardless of any controversy or social turmoil that might arise.
Moreover, the current situation wasn’t one where Kayak had caused any major issues. While there were revelations about her being a lesbian, it was hardly something to be labeled as wrong.
Some even reacted positively, proving that discussing someone’s sexual orientation wasn’t something worth making a fuss about.
Rather, it was those revealing Kayak’s past, manipulating public opinion, and persecuting her who ultimately provoked her wrath on air.
The ones who had been solely caring for their owner’s wishes and desires began to rise gradually.
The wind has changed direction.
The southeast wind was finally starting to blow back at them.

[The community post has been officially released, yes]
Yes, she did date a woman in the past, but whether she’s a lesbian or not is uncertain now.
There’s nothing to hide, bring it on.
– I still don’t understand why this is a controversy or something to be criticized about.
– For real, haha, women can date women, these folks are filled with prejudice.
– Lacking PC sensitivity, sigh…
– It’s just that the initial suppression failed, yes, they should have started by cutting off the noise-makers.
– Is it another bracelet mistake? Oh dear;;
– How many fake accounts are they running? How can we stop them all?
– If it was the old days, we would have stopped them easily for real.
– That one became a Kayak editor and is now chilling with Kayak.
Oh wow;;
Oh dear.
No matter how much the host had an ex-girlfriend and made yuri moves with fellow girls at every chance, I don’t think “Bobinda” is an appropriate term.
Even if I had female colleagues who flirt with each other whenever there’s a chance, the term ‘Bobinda’ doesn’t seem appropriate.
ㄴ Oh my;;;;; Wow;;;
ㄴ Actually good…
ㄴ If I were born a woman, I’d totally cling to Kayak, damn.
ㄴ Even an ugly woman can’t do it, Kayak…
ㄴ In reality, everyone around Kayak is good-looking and pretty.
ㄴ It’s just Kayak’s harem, right?
ㄴ Choosing whatever you want, whoa.
ㄴ Taker isn’t good-looking at all.
ㄴ Oh dear.
<Kayak isn’t even starting the broadcast, you damn girls>
Where are all those who think they can’t say it because they’re feeling guilty?
– Did you really believe that?
– It’s just a few people using multi-shadow technique, right?
– These guys are the ones who clutter up the chat and mess with the host’s mentality?
– Just wait until the host doesn’t start the broadcast, who knows what I’ll do.
ㄴ This time I really think they’re angry; they even used casual speech.
ㄴ Honestly, even if you dabble in the broadcast, no one would find it strange, haha, considering everything that’s happened so far.
ㄴ There’s a ton of love calls in the broadcasting world, so it wouldn’t matter if they dabble in the broadcast and become celebrities…
<First, we need to catch the one who wrote the expose>
We have to catch them and make them write an apology letter; only then will the gallery owner calm down and start broadcasting again.
– How are you going to catch them? Haha.
– That guy who picked a fight in the bar got exposed to Stardust in just three hours; can’t we do that this time?
ㄴ That person had their face and articles written about them.
ㄴ This time the target is the one exposing from behind, so obviously, they look shady and probably won’t be out and about.
– I heard there are capable people in the corner gallery who can trace IPs; don’t we have any?
– Just roughly track the location and do whatever.
– I harassment-dropped a message anyway, haha, but since it’s a casual account, it probably won’t matter.
– But isn’t tracking IPs and doing all that illegal?
ㄴ Exposing someone’s past and leaking personal info is also a crime, yeah.
ㄴ If it’s to heal her broken heart… I don’t care if it’s a crime.
ㄴ Ugh, damn.
ㄴ Sweetness really comes from Kayak, haha.
ㄴ Those who’d go to jail instead of Kayak… Just bragging verbally… They have no real ability at all…
However, in places where many people gather, there are always one or two with unique abilities.
After a few hours, a comment was posted under that post.
ㄴ Haha found you, Jong Wook, born in ’02, graduated from Hansung Middle School, dropped out of Hansung High – …
ㄴ ?? Is this real?
ㄴ How did you find that? Whoa.
ㄴ As expected, IP tracking, doxxing, hacking is all Kayak’s skill, haha.
ㄴ Ah, haha, that’s totally Jong Wook.
It was a comment that laid bare the exposer’s personal information.
“F, f, what the f*…!”
The man who exposed Kayak’s past, Jong Wook, was currently pacing back and forth in the room with bloodshot eyes.
If it could be called an excuse, it was, but he never wanted things to escalate this much. He just wished for Kayak to go through a bit of trouble, not being able to broadcast comfortably and keeping an eye on other people’s reactions. That was all he hoped for.
However, what Jong Wook didn’t anticipate was that he was not the only one harboring ill intentions towards Kayak. There were others who wanted to drag Kayak down by any means necessary, and they didn’t waste the opportunity Jong Wook provided.
“If you’re going to do it, just bury her completely, stupid bastards…”
Of course, Jong Wook himself knew well that things couldn’t just be buried this easily. This was merely going to earn some social chiding. No, in this open age, it wasn’t even worthy of a dirty look.
There will always be backlash against forced actions. The forces trying to undermine Kayak, despite her not doing anything deserving of scorn, dragged up whatever they could to attack her.
Since the attack failed, the backlash would undoubtedly be even fiercer. In fact, public opinion had completely turned, creating a stronger backlash than the initial attack on her.
Right now, even the person at the center of the revelation, Jong Wook, was feeling the damage. And what kind of damage was it?
Ding-dong—
“AAAHHH—!”
As the doorbell rang, Jong Wook let out a scream of horror.
This was it, this. The annoying pain that had begun at some point!
Jong Wook wrote the exposé, and public opinion started to flip just the night before. And then, starting from early dawn the next day, ridiculous things began to happen: someone ringing the doorbell of the house where Jong Wook lived, delivery food he never ordered showing up for card payment, and someone banging on his door at midnight.
That’s right, Jong Wook was currently suffering from malicious harassment. When he went outside, he faced subtle gazes, and when he stayed home, he experienced torment like this. This was stalking, no different from a criminal act.
“What the hell, are these guys f*ing insane…?”
If caught, they would undoubtedly be punished, so how could they be so brazenly harassing him?
Amid all this, Jong Wook had a late realization: he was no different from them.
