Why are viewers so curious about the person called Kayak?
Well, it basically stems from the fact that Kayak is an unusual human, quite different from ordinary folks.
A young woman, stunningly beautiful to the point you can’t take your eyes off her, and her gaming skills are so exceptional that she even gets shout-outs from pro gamers. Plus, her striking resemblance to a character from a specific game is definitely something to draw viewers’ attention.
Recently, she even appeared on broadcast television, mingling with girl groups while showcasing her equally impressive looks and unique dancing skills.
Truly a jack of all trades. Where on earth did such a perfect person come from?
That’s why Kayak garners so much attention beyond the usual interest viewers pour into streamers.
This is just how people are. Whenever faced with someone exceptionally outstanding in looks or gaming skills, it’s natural to feel admiration and even worship.
That’s precisely why Yusia planned a content piece called “The Life of Kayak.” Many people were curious about what Kayak does in her everyday life.
Given that Kayak is a special individual, many expected her daily routine to flow differently than that of regular folks. Exaggeratedly, some went so far as to say that Kayak didn’t eat or poop, being a uniquely special entity.
Before filming began, Yusia dismissed those as ridiculous, but now she slightly sees things differently. Watching her daily life closely does reveal something unusually special compared to common people.
Currently, Kayak and Yusia were at the mid-slope of a densely wooded mountain.
To be precise, they were at a place called Sansjang, where various exercise equipment is set up alongside nature. Although technically it is a facility within a park, not exactly a mountain.
As it was a weekend morning, quite a number of people were exercising at Sansjang. Most were middle-aged and older, easily over thirty. Among them was an elderly man with snow-white hair.
Yusia was pointing the camera lens at them. Not to capture them, but rather to film today’s main character, Kayak.
“Wow, again!”
“Whoa, what a pose…”
“Hey, this young lady has some skills. Yeah!”
So, what was the main character Kayak up to today? Kayak was currently performing an unusual stunt right in the middle of the Sansjang, right in front of the onlookers.
Kayak was currently showcasing some suspiciously impressive tricks right in the middle of the Sansjang, with spectators watching from all around.
She effortlessly lifted heavy barbells and did dozens of pull-ups, things that even the average adult man would struggle to accomplish.
In a park bustling with people, especially on a weekend, it was impossible not to notice such a performance.
It was a level of skill that would draw admiration even from a robust adult man, let alone a stunningly beautiful woman whose eyes could roll back in disbelief.
However, only a few among those at the Sansjang couldn’t tear their eyes away from Kayak, while the majority seemed unimpressed.
Yusia thought that these people had probably seen Kayak perform before, just like the middle-aged couple earlier, and had become accustomed to it.
Lunch was approaching—11:30 a.m.—and she had left home at 8 a.m., so they had been outside for over three hours.
Most of the time was spent walking, running, and just finished with strength training at the park gym… activities that utilized the body.
This alone was quite intriguing. To think they had been exercising for three straight hours since leaving home in the morning.
Among streamers who usually lived unhealthy lives with flipped patterns, this was definitely a unique sight. For Yusia, who shared a similar pattern with them, it felt quite unbearable.
“Do you usually enjoy working out like this?”
On the way home, Yusia asked Kayak, her curiosity stemming from the perspective of a viewer wanting to steal a glimpse of Kayak’s daily life. Yusia was both a filmer and a spokesperson for viewers.
“Well, normally I just jog, but for some reason I wanted to come here today. Occasionally, I drop by parks for strength training too.”
“Have you always been into working out?”
“Yeah, I don’t currently go to a gym, but I’ve been consistent in the past. The difference in stamina is pretty significant depending on whether you do it or not, and it’s not just about physical health but also mental…”
Listening to Kayak’s philosophy on gym and exercise, they finally headed home.

Once home, after a quick shower, Yusia rummaged through the refrigerator and started cooking.
She could have easily collapsed back onto her bed to rest, but she simply wouldn’t slack off—Yusia thought as she observed.
Yusia thought, “I could take a break, but here I am, still hanging around.”
“What’s on the lunch menu?”
“Today, I was planning to whip up some fried rice with leftover ingredients. Is that okay with you, Master? We could also order in if it’s been a while.”
“Please, just do what you want, like usual.”
At that moment, Kayak began to cook. The way she handled the ingredients and tossed them in without measuring was impressively skillful.
This scene wasn’t particularly different from any others; it wasn’t Kayak’s first time showing off her cooking on a broadcast. She had already displayed her culinary skills multiple times in various cooking streams. If memory served me right, she was quite proficient.
However, since it was Yusia’s first time seeing Kayak cook in person, she observed the scene with great interest.
Kayak moved around the kitchen, donning her apron, in a highly organized manner. This was definitely a scene that would garner a positive reaction.
“Tada! All done. Please have a seat.”
“You even made soup?”
“I didn’t want to just have plain fried rice by myself; it might get a bit dry.”
There it was: beautifully shaped heart-shaped kimchi fried rice topped with a runny fried egg, alongside a bowl of soybean sprout soup.
It seemed like she hadn’t taken long to make, yet she managed to pull off such high-quality dishes. After tasting it, Yusia couldn’t help but be amazed. The flavor was on par with that of many restaurants.
“So, how is it? Is the seasoning too strong or anything?”
“Oh no, it’s delicious. I’ll enjoy it.”
Seeing such a positive response, Kayak’s lips curled up in a smile, clearly pleased by the compliment on her cooking.
Yusia couldn’t shake the feeling that, even though the broadcast was off, chatting with viewers was flashing through her mind.
Surely, if the viewers had seen this scene, they would be hurling comments like “You can be my bride, Kayak!” or calling her “Wifey-Kayak” and saying she looked like a newlywed.
Yusia imagined similar comments would follow if it were uploaded to VTube.
Kayak was so adorably charming at that moment it could make any man want to marry her. And who knows, even women might be thinking they’d want to marry her too.
“That was delicious.”
“Alright.”
And so, mealtime came to an end, and it was about 1:30 PM.
Kayak usually started her broadcasts between 5 to 7 PM. Depending on how it went, she could finish by 10 PM or even go until 1 or 2 AM.
Normally, during the afternoons, Yusia and the editors, along with Kim Jae-jun, would hold meetings regarding VTubing or live broadcasts.
However, those meetings happened only once or twice a week, so Yusia had no idea how Kayak spent her time during the hours they weren’t meeting.
Even for Yusia, who was well-acquainted with Kayak’s schedule, this time slot was a mystery. Her heart racing, Yusia focused intently on Kayak’s movements.
“Hmm-hmm-hmm.”
Kayak was humming as she sat in front of her computer. It seemed she was about to do something.
The most common expectations would be checking emails or reviewing VTubing content.
There were countless tasks related to broadcasting that could be done on a computer, so it wasn’t surprising that Kayak was still active after eating.
However, Kayak’s actions surprised Yusia.
After briefly skimming through her fan cafe, Kayak suddenly opened a specific community site. Then she started searching her own name and reading the posts that came up one by one.
“SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1WGwxUi9tUUNpUTdIN1lMVXlHbXNIeW5TZFVWVHBFY0dHMzZKVWhkUVIzWg”
– Kayak <<< Doesn’t it seem like she's been slacking off lately? Didn’t she used to play Abyss ranked games or prepare broadcasts? Now she just does the content her viewers suggest, is this okay? "Hmm…" She seemed to have stumbled upon a post that didn't sit well with her, causing the clicking of her keyboard to quicken. Although she didn’t say anything, the corners of her mouth were turned down, indicating her displeasure. Meanwhile, Yusia, who was capturing that scene, felt her heart race. 'Should I even include this in the broadcast…?' A streamer searching her own name in a community could lead to hilarious moments for the show, but if things went sideways, she might need to edit it out. It was a double-edged sword. Watching closely, Yusia found herself deep in contemplation.
