In the current world of social media and free video-sharing streaming websites, competition is immense. The same is the case in the story of Viral Hit.
Content creators do almost anything for more and more viewer engagement.
In Viral Hit Pakgo is a famous content creator for a free video sharing or streaming website, NewTube. Using other students from his class and creating videos he increased his viewers up to 700k.
Content of Viral Hit
The first episode of Viral Hit, “First Upload”, starts with Pakgo streaming a video with another NewTuber in his class, Rumi.
In that stream, they openly humiliate the protagonist Hobin Yoo.
Hobin is an unfortunate individual, who toils his own life working part-time to pay for his cancer-affected mother’s hospital bill, whereas other classmates of his enjoy their youth, earning big money.
His social standard is clearly specified in this episode of Viral Hit.
One day, while working, Packgo came to his workplace and started to involve his workplace idol Bomi in his video in wrong way, whom he saved in his own way.
Bomi is a diligent and beautiful worker, a person of all of the worker’s admiration.
Hobin is actually a target of bullying by Pakgo, who displays an entirely different personality behind the scenes. Pakgo is comparable to those overachievers who will stop at nothing and stoop at any or every low until they reach their goal.
Another member is in Pakgo’s team as his cameraman and a member of his delinquent group, Snapper. He is more like a strategist, who doesn’t dirty his own hand.
in this episode of Viral Hit, at this stage a twist was waiting for Hobin
Snapper came up with an idea to use Hobin’s mother’s bank account to earn money from his new ‘NewTube’ channel. While building content at Hobin’s house they got into a fight which accidentally went viral on NewTube, attracting a huge number of viewers.
Due to their content, Snapper faced some ridicule at school.
Later Hobin found out that his viewer count was 10,275,921 and the pay was 0.1 yen per view, his income could be near one million yen, and his world turned upside down. This outcome attracted both him and Snapper equally.
In this episode of Viral Hit, all that happened changed Hobin’s perspective on his own life.
Hobin and Snapper then decided to share their profit in many ways as Snapper proposed he join the team. At first share being 90:10, Snapper got 90% and Hobin gets 10%, which was unacceptable to Hobin. After lot’s of negotiations they settled for the reverse.
The finalized content theme was calling out bullies in open.
Conclusion
The overall tone of this episode of Viral Hit was somewhat light and entertaining. Inspite of showing the miserable sight of the protagonist, it doesn’t dwell on it and moves on to the funny countermeasures he took to change his position.
The first episode is portrayed in a youthful way, somewhat like trending streaming content.
Staying tuned for further misadventures of the Hobin and Snapper duo could be very much entertaining.
