After GetDevoured’s, Lee Yena’s broadcast ended and a notice that could only be seen as a retirement announcement was posted, her fans fell into a state of panic.
She had always been a broadcaster who deviated from the usual norms. Even during her broadcasting period, she frequently disappeared for inexplicable reasons.
Most notably, at the beginning, she seemed more interested in rogues than in broadcasting. Shortly after she started broadcasting, she even went so far as to ban viewers who demanded rogue-related content.
Her fans found it hard to believe that such a significant figure would retire overnight. But given GetDevoured’s unpredictability, there was an unavoidable sense of unease.
It was a logical concern. From the outset, the notice had the atmosphere of a final farewell.

『Title: No Way She’s Retiring』
『This isn’t a major announcement
If it was retirement, it would be a super major announcement
It’s not
Right?』
– Hope’s flame is burning bright
– “GetDevoured’s time has ended.”
“I will lay down the name GetDevoured”
“If we meet, I will greet you cheerfully”
– ㄴ It’s over.
– ㄴ Ahh
– ㄴ When I bumped into her on the street, she clung tightly to some guy’s thick arm. Was her promise to cheerfully greet me a lie? Or did that guy make it into a lie? When I called her “GetDevoured”, she didn’t turn around. As a woman of another man now, she seemed indifferent to such a name.
– ㄴㄴ Kill him
– ㄴㄴ Die
– ㄴㄴ Address
– ㄴㄴ She’ll really die, get a grip man
– There’s a world championship left, how can she retire
– ㄴ Streamers aren’t even qualified for the championship

『It’s not retirement, f***ers
Please』
– This guy actually wrote a sane post
– Sa…ne?

『Title: Breaking: GetDevoured Changes Nickname』
『Tw*tch: CravingWarmAmericano -> LeeYena_12
GetDevoured -> LeeYena_12
She might really quit
She wouldn’t have to erase her broadcasting nickname like this
We have so many memories together with GetDevoured…
Why is she doing this…』
– Ahh
– Really?
– Please don’t do this
– I don’t believe it
– Why change the nicknameㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– I feel really betrayed, is this normal?
『Author: ReformedDojil』
『『Title』: It’s 100% just a nickname change and going to broadcast again』
『So, she’s just going to broadcast as “Lee Yena_12” from now on.
If it was a real retirement?
No way she wouldn’t have told her manager.
Teacher has a strong sense of responsibility.
I know this.
She wouldn’t leave like this.』
– DojilDojil…
– This feels like the beginning of an NTR plot
– ㄴ Shut up
– So this is the way of broth… how sad
– ㄴ We’ll see. Let’s see if I’m right or if you are
– It’s hilarious how it suddenly turned into a stray dog haven, lOLLOLOLOL LOL
– ㄴ ‘Master must be busy! They forgot they tied me here, so clumsy. If I wait at this rest stop, they’ll come and pick me up!’
– ㄴ Yeah…
– What was the thievery for, and what was the instrument practice for, teacher… for it to end like this…
– ㄴ It’s not over.

『Title: I understand if you’re going pro, but at least broadcast sometimes』
『Anyway, you’ll want to vent out your mega super anger.
Please at least do a music broadcast.
It’s win-win.
Even pros are broadcasting these days, why quit outright?』
– I hope she goes pro.
Thus, countless viewers burned through the café and forum throughout the night, going through the five stages of grief from denial to bargaining in their own ways.
Approximately 26 hours after the last broadcast,
『Lee Yena_12 is live!』
『Hello, I’m the new broadcaster Lee Yena.』
An alert popped up, some expected but most dared not to hope for.
『Author: ㅇㅇ』
『Title: Is she truly crazy, really』
『(Screenshot of the broadcast alert)
Oh
Oh, seriously, she’s crazy
Oh……………
Thank you………』
* * * *
It was a typical broadcast setup. A black waiting screen, with a chat window alongside. The kind of setup a new broadcaster would usually have.
The difference was-
『Oh, seriously, you’re such a crazy woman』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『Who writes such a letter just for a nickname change』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『It felt like I was losing my mind ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ』
『Seriously, is she crazy?!』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
From the moment the broadcast started, the chat window was flooded. Countless people were unleashing the anxieties they had been feeling until now.
Was she watching this?
《Ah. Can you hear me?》
A familiar greeting, in a familiar voice, was heard. Why did a simple phrase bring such a sense of relief?
Her fans couldn’t help but wonder, as they burned up the chat window.
Perhaps—just perhaps, she originally had no intention of coming back—
《Nice to meet you. I’m the new broadcaster, Lee Yena. Please understand that I haven’t set up donations yet.》
『Oh, seriously, cut the crap』
『She even turned off the donations, seriously, is she nuts』
『GetDevoured Devoured…』
『Well, at least she’s back』
『Definitely the number one girl you should never date』
-Click-
A small clicking sound followed. The black background screen transitioned, and the camera feed appeared.
To the viewers, it was a somewhat familiar screen. It was GetDevoured’s room they had seen many times before. Although the angle was different, as if she had moved the computer’s position.
Caught between joy and anger, they were confused.
Sitting with a rather serious expression, Lee Yena bowed her head slightly.
For some reason, she was dressed in a suit.
『Not even trying to hide it』
『Please, no more events like this』
『I almost made a huge decision』
『A bit too much of a joke, GetDevoured Devoured…』
『And what’s with the clothes』
『Bravo, GetDevoured, burn the whole world down』
《GetDevoured… Please refrain from mentioning other broadcasters. The expressions are a bit… I’ve heard that the broadcast was a bit vicious. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t associate me with such a person. I’m just an ordinary, new broadcaster.》
She continued to spout nonsense, as always.
《Okay. Everyone, calm down… Yes, let’s see what she’s up to… says someone in the chat. Well. I plan to broadcast mostly camping, music, and games.》
She froze the chat window on screen and read it line by line.
《What game, you ask? Good question. There’s a popular game called Knight of Knights these days; I thought I might give it a try. What do you all think? Personally, I’m fond of KoK… yes. Luckily, I received a tournament seed as a gift and plan to compete next month. Yes, it’s a tournament starting from the top 16 in the US.》
She smiled bashfully—
《A lot of mentions of GetDevoured. If we meet again, she’d probably tell you not to call her that and leave… she must have a lot of baggage.》
Standing up from her seat, she bowed once more.
《…It seems many of you are upset. I can’t say for sure, but maybe… she intended to make an official announcement but couldn’t because of a promise, resulting in this situation. That’s what it feels like. Just a hunch. If you think about it that way, perhaps she’s getting a tough break. Maybe she canceled a week-long camping trip. Anyway, I apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry.》
She didn’t bow her head again, staring directly into the camera.
《Still, please warmly welcome a new broadcaster. This is a completely different broadcast from that vicious one, GetDevoured. It’s unfair.》
Maybe even she felt a bit embarrassed at her own words.
《I’ll write it up here. So… if new people coming in get confused, please explain it to them.》
Blushing bright red, Lee Yena reached toward the keyboard slowly—then brought her hands together again.
With a curious phrase displayed at the top of the screen.
『It’s not that kind』
With a peculiar phrase displayed at the top of the screen.
『of malicious broadcast』
『Ah』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥』
『Wow, where did you get such a scarce tournament seed that there’s only one in Korea? Truly surprising』
『Seriously, what a shitshow』
『Alright, please keep the alignment, rascal……』
《Keeping alignment……that’s a good opinion, but I don’t listen to people weaker than me. Hmm… if that’s the case… shall we settle this with KoK? I’ll create a room with YNL12/YNL12.》
With a bright smile, she continued speaking in a pretend-serious voice.
《So- if I win, you acknowledge that this isn’t a malicious broadcast. Do you agree?》
A bit embarrassed-
But with an incredibly joyful expression.
Like seeing beloved friends-
《Thank you for coming. ……I missed you.》
Revealing the feelings she couldn’t hide.
『It’s not a malicious broadcast- 完』
