/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

What Liora is saying about the difference between K-Idols and J-Idols is generally true. If you've ever wondered why Entertainment companies in Korea paid little attention to vtubers it's because of that difference in culture where in Japan performers are more expected to be entertainers where as that's not the case in Korea. That's ultimately the reason why the Korean Twitch scene took over vtuber there, because streamers are more familiar with being entertainers rather than traditional K-Idols.

Hello /vtwbg/, after some discussion, I'll try to fill in as much for the indie and corpo region of /kr/ (which for reference will be called just /kr/ as both /nijikr/ and /vnug/ have their own more specific monikers.)
What has been come up with so far is:
>Using the Polish-Commonwealth as a base, the land is a loose confederation with nobles ruling regionally, all with different ideas of how to run the country
>Each region is representative of different philosophies surrounding vtubing. These can be presented as different interpretations on the same religion, kind of like the Protestant-Catholic divide. The border region towards NijiKR represents the JP-styled vtubing, and the region towards /vnug/ represent KR vtubers that mostly speak English (i.e. Tonya, Miori, etc.). While the center represents the local KR scene, where things can differ very drastically even between smaller regions. As the KR vtuber scene is still growing this region is always in flux and quite unstable.
>The geography of the region is very mountainous, allowing for these separate communities to all grow so different. Because of this they lack crops, however, the area is incredibly rich in minerals. Because of this the Isegye region (since they have big numbers) are incredibly affluent economically but try to stay neutral (representing the fact that they're not talked about a lot in the thread.)

She's from Isegye, you know, the one vtuber corporation that constantly gives VShojo a run for their money on Twitch? They're huge in Korea.
