Extreme Chulsoo by H.S. Kim

 Rating: 8/10

This is first time I read a story about YouTubers and Influencers. This short story well describe MZ generations' trend and reality. 

Chulsoo failed in his CSAT(수능) and had job which is YouTuber for living, and his girl friend Joy is another kind of YouTuber who makes a video about yoga. They are fake couple for the contents in Youtube and they only focus on their subscribers and the popularity of them and keep does extreme and dangerous works.

In reality, there are a lot of people who does like Chulsoo and Joy did, and this phenomenon became kind of black comedy. As more and more YouTubers like this increase, people are asking for more stimulating contents. There are youtubers who sacrifices themselves for the money by doing dangerous things for their YouTube contents. And because they are very sensitive to the comments and attentions from public, they sometimes suicide or get depression.

And I thought this story is realistic by the comments for Joy. There were some sexually harassing comments for joy which are disgusting, but there are a lot of harassment in YouTube in real.
