‘I got lucky.’

  Joonbum thought about the discussion in the video comments, where people mostly believed that the video was fake. People who believed it to be true quickly disappeared because the other side aggressively claimed that the video was fake.

  ‘Some people are really sharp,” he thought as some of the responses were close to the truth.

  “Mr. Joonbum Jang?”

  Joonbum jumped up from the seat as a voice came from above his laptop computer.

  “Oh, hello! I am Joonbum Jang.”

  “I am Seonchul Lee. We talked earlier.”

  “Sure, of course.”

  A middle-aged man introduced himself and sat down in front of Joonbum. Joonbum sat down while he closed his laptop.

  “Did you watch the video?”

  “We sure did.”

  Seonchul smiled softly. He was man in his forties or fifties with a favorable expression that made Joonbum feel comfortable with his calm smile.

  ‘So it’s him…’

  Seonchul was the marketing director of a company that manufactured Choco Pie. Joonbum’s viewers had accused him of using the Choco Pie as a form of advertisement.

  “Before we start, we want to thank you for using our product.”

  “Of course.”

  Seonchul reached into his suitcase and took out packet of documents.

  “This is our contract. I know we talked about it already over the phone, but you can read it here.”

  Joonbum checked the papers and started reading what was handed over to him. The terms were simple. The company wanted to use part of Joonbum’s video that was uploaded today and use it for their own commercial. The amount they were willing to pay for using the video clip for six months was twenty million won. In addition, the company was willing to provide all the Choco Pies as needed. There was an additional five million won paid to Joonbum as a means of sponsorship.

  The conditions were too good.
