‘Ha…’
Choi Ki-seok was looking at the chat window with a lost expression.
After being completely defeated in a war of nerves with Jeong Seol-hwa, he was reduced to a state of turmoil. He, who was in the center of the screen, was slightly pushed to the side and his speaking capacity was drastically reduced.
The era of orthodoxy has finally arrived.
She was busy reading the chat window one by one and answering.
The original goal of providing useful information about cardiovascular disease was nowhere to be found.
I was just busy communicating with viewers.
What was surprising was that Jeong Seol-hwa’s strategy was working.
The silent chat window became lively.
The number of new visitors also increased.
Even so, I couldn’t avoid finishing in last place among the contestants.
[My dad George: He looks like he’s upset. LOL]
[GongGomGom: Why is a triple board thoracic surgeon so narrow-minded…]
[Sinbad’s Lamp: The end of the explainer LOL]
“I’m not upset. The inside is wide. “I was trying to convey useful information, not just explanations.”
When Choi Ki-seok read the chat window, the viewers’ reaction became even hotter.
[Seongbuk-dong Missile: Do you see the back end of the heart?]
[iPhone, Son’s Phone: A little secret on how to seduce the heart…]
[Cloud Ladder: Is this the teacher Choi Ki-seok I know? As far as I know, he trained at Mayjo Clinic and is currently the only triple board thoracic surgeon to have provided medical service in South Sudan. I think I’m getting really screwed up at Schritel.]
“The one I originally wanted to appear in wasn’t Shritel, but somehow I ended up getting caught up in it.”
“My honey, are you doing well now?”
“well. “I don’t know if I’m good at taking care of myself.”
“Schritel is entertainment. “It’s more important to make people who watch this show happy.”
“yes yes. All right.”
Choi Ki-seok answered harshly. After Jeong Seol-hwa and viewers were reduced to bean powder, wise man time came. Because the broadcast direction I had envisioned was completely different from the current direction.
Now, I was just going ahead and saying whatever happens, happens.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The door opened and Super Venus members entered the room.
“hello. “We’re doing a cooking show and I’d like to get some food evaluations.”
“It’s spicy stir-fried pork. “Try it once.”
Choi Ki-seok placed the tray handed to him by Nari and Yoo-seon on the table.
Super Venus.
I had a relationship with them when I was an intern at Uijin University.
In the past, the vehicle carrying Super Venus was involved in a traffic accident, and Choi Ki-seok quickly provided first aid to them at the scene.
Kang Eun-ha, whom he met when he was Yoo Hae-jin, did not appear today, and he shared his current status with the other two members in the waiting room earlier.
“Hmm. “Do you guys know that?”
After clearing his throat, which was quite intentional, Choi Ki-seok started crying.
“I am close to the Super Venus members here. “Aren’t you jealous?”
[If it’s gum, it’s also bubble gum: Heart Choi seems to have lost his mind…]
[Boombastic: Look at Heart Choi’s false statements.]
[Giggles: Heart Choi is looking at him with his eyes wide open. Watch your mouth. Haha]
“Nari, Yuseon. “We’re friends, right?”
“Ah yes. To be more precise, you are a lifesaver. “We were in a car accident once, and Dr. Ki-Seok Choi treated us.”
“that’s right. “If Teacher Choi wasn’t there at that time, we wouldn’t be here.”
Yoo Seon added a word to Na Ri’s words.
[Adogen: Awesome. Heart Choi: Then you do artificial respiration with the Super Venus members? Touching the chest too?]
[Jungle Ezrian: My dream is to become a thoracic surgeon.]
“What. I don’t really want to brag. “Then let’s eat some food.”
Choi Ki-seok got along well with Jeong Seol-hwa and put a bite of meat into his mouth. The members of Super Venus watched the scene with their hands together.
“How are you? Does it suit your taste?”
“I… you’re a good match for me? “I think it would be really delicious to eat with rice.”
“thank you. “What about Teacher Choi?”
“By my standards…”
Choi Ki-seok, who had been pausing, nodded as if he had made up his mind.
“Honestly, it’s too salty. I think my liver is strong. “If this is the case, wouldn’t Jaringobi hang this pork from the ceiling and eat it instead of oysters?”
[Grandma Gukbap Restaurant: Hearts are running wild. He seems to have lost his mind now.]
[Convenience store building owner: Perhaps because he is a thoracic surgeon, he has good courage. Isn’t the Super Venus fan club scary?]
[Best Mixed Coffee: Look at the heart-shaped lip service and the constant drinking of water. It’s so cute I’m dying. LOL]
“Wow. “It’s really salty.”
Nari looked at Jeyuk and frowned.
She stared at Yoo Seon next to her with piercing gaze.
“Didn’t you taste it in the middle?”
“It was fine until I tried it… I guess they added salt instead of sugar at the end.”
“sorry. “Next time I’ll bring really delicious food.”
After Super Venus left, Choi Ki-seok continued to show off his last-minute tactics.
He boasted of his friendship with Lavigne Williams and revealed spectacular events such as a conjoined twin surgery performed live and a kidnapping incident in Sudan.
Since it was a fantasy like no other in the world, releasing various episodes was not a task.
However, viewers did not take this literally, and as a result, he earned the nickname of the most pretentious, most pretentious person.
[Still 2G Phone has entered.]
[IGI Kim Yu-jeon has entered.]
[Ora Ora Ora has entered.]
Viewers who left due to his reckless behavior returned one by one.
Thanks to this, by the end of the broadcast, it had risen from last place in viewership ratings to 4th place, up one notch.
But it was that moment.
Choi Ki-seok sensed that the staff’s atmosphere had turned cold.

Kim Gu-rin’s room.
Today, Gu-rin Kim was hosting a content that invited a famous web novelist to share his know-how on creating web novels.
“But does writing really make money? “It’s rude to say this, but I think I would only earn about 2 million won per month.”
He tilted his head, making a unique gesture symbolizing money.
“A lot of people think that people who write don’t make money, but that’s not entirely wrong. However, in the case of genre novels, writers who earn a lot earn astronomical amounts of money. As far as I know, there are writers who earn 100 million won a month.”
“You make 100 million a month by writing? Is that possible?”
“Because it was possible, it must have been in the article.”
“Then what about the writer’s profit?”
Kang Tae-yang scratched his head in confusion at Kim Gu-rin’s question.
“Me? what. “I barely make enough to survive.”
“no way. What is that? “Only when the author makes it public can viewers dream of becoming a web novel writer.”
[Jo Kang’s position is good: Don’t make people wonder, let’s quickly figure out the salary.]
[Stored in my stomach: If you’re scared, just give up.]
Kang Tae-yang burst into laughter after reading the chat window.
“It would be better not to tell you. “It is best to hide certain information.”
“This is so frustrating. Are you really not going to tell me?”
“yes.”
“Well, there’s nothing we can do. What advice would you give to those who want to write a web novel?
“It is commonly said that if you want to become a full-time writer, you must be determined. The market is full of established artists and new artists armed with unique ideas. “If you rush in with a complacent mind, you are likely to end up dead.”
“….”
“In my case, it took me 7 years to get to where I am now. “I published three or four paper books in the meantime, but the results were not good.”
Kang Taeyang spoke calmly.
“Honestly, there were more than one time that I thought about whether to give up or not. I had a friend who had a huge hit with his first work and saved a lot of money. I was so humble back then…”
“….”
“I think the most important thing in writing is to enjoy the process of writing. In terms of probability, my chances of success in the market are not high. I, the writer, probably wouldn’t think that way. In any case, you have to enjoy the process so you can move forward even if the results are not good.”
“That’s it, whatever it is. “No one goes into business thinking they will fail.”
Kim Gu-rin added a word.
“When you enjoy the writing process like that, there comes a time when your eyes open. It’s time to think about the reader rather than myself and come up with a more interesting story than a mediocre one. “You could say that was the beginning of my life as a writer.”
“….”
“A writer is also a job, so you have to look at it for a long time. You shouldn’t try to reach a conclusion in a short period of time. “I think that if I enjoy the process and train, a good day will come someday.”
While Kang Tae-yang was finishing his story, Kim Gu-rin put the rice cake on the table in his mouth.
Right at that moment.
He felt suffocated.
I was flailing my arms and legs in frustration, but even so, I couldn’t breathe properly.
“Ugh. Ugh. “Oops.”
“teacher. Are you okay?”
Embarrassed, Kang Tae-yang approached Kim Gu-rin, but he could not be of any help.
Meanwhile, Kim Gu-rin’s face turned blue and he fell to the floor, covering his neck with both hands.
“Turn off the broadcast and call Mr. Choi!”
The producer in charge’s shouting filled the studio.
* * *
“Sir. It looks like there’s a problem with Kim Gu-rin’s broadcast right now. “I feel like I have a lump stuck in my throat.”
“I’ll be right there.”
Choi Ki-seok asked Jeong Seol-hwa to broadcast and hurriedly moved to Kim Gu-rin’s studio.
Kim Gu-rin, who collapsed, was not in good condition.
Cyanosis occurred and my face turned pale.
It seems that none of the staff knew the Heimlich maneuver.
“Please help me.”
Choi Ki-seok, along with the staff, helped Kim Gu-rin up and then went behind him. Then he placed his fist between his navel and solar plexus and covered it with his other hand.
puck. puck. puck. puck.
As he performed an abdominal push, Kim Gu-rin’s body shook like a wave.
“Kek. Keck. “Wow!”
The piece of rice cake he spit out fell on the floor. Accordingly, Choi Ki-seok laid him down comfortably and attempted artificial respiration. After several attempts at artificial respiration, his complexion gradually returned.
“First aid is over. First, let’s move Mr. Kim Gu-rin to a comfortable place.”
“All right.”
Choi Ki-seok and the broadcasting staff placed Kim Gu-rin in the waiting room.
“teacher. “Maybe I should go to the hospital?”
“The lump that was blocking my airway was removed and my breathing returned to normal. There is no need to go to the hospital. “Once you become conscious, you can send it if you want.”
After finishing speaking, Choi Ki-seok looked at Kim Gu-rin.
Airway obstruction is a disease that is highly likely to be encountered in everyday life, like a heart attack.
It is good for you and your family to know how to deal with it.
“I have one question. “You came back from the military, right?”
“of course. “I was from the front line.”
Pride was evident in the youngest staff member’s tone of voice.
“As far as I know, things like CPR and the Heimlich maneuver are all learned in the military.”
“That’s right… that’s right.”
“If you knew the Heimlich maneuver, couldn’t you have treated Mr. Kim Gu-rin yourself?”
The youngest staff member lowered his head helplessly at Choi Ki-seok’s point.
“I just learned it roughly. And I was afraid that if I messed with it and something went wrong, it would be my fault…”
“I’m not trying to blame you in particular. Rest comfortably.”
Choi Ki-seok took a seat next to Kim Gu-rin.
I didn’t have the slightest desire to scold the staff. Because there were innocent victims who were sued by their guardians after providing first aid to patients.
It was just a pity that the world was becoming increasingly harsh.
