Viral Hit

Synopsis

In Yoo Hobin's school, the bullies are different—they are aspiring internet celebrities called NewTubers, who broadcast humiliating videos and live streams of Hobin from his own home. Hobin keeps his composure only by focusing on the need to work hard to support his hospitalized mother. One night, during a live stream by his classmate Woo Jihyeok, Hobin reaches his breaking point after enduring a degrading act, leading to a violent fight that lasts until morning. The next day, Hobin learns that the live stream of their fight has gone viral on NewTube, bringing him instant fame. Seeing the financial potential of viral content, Hobin decides to team up with Jihyeok to start a channel that showcases his fighting abilities. However, he must improve his combat skills and avoid those who want to exploit his sudden popularity—or losing viewers may be the least of his worries. Fortunately, Hobin discovers a set of rare self-instructional videos that could be the key to succeeding in the competitive world of content creation.
