Meet Yoo Hobin, the Aspiring Newtuber from Viral Hit
The first episode of Viral Hit introduces Yoo Hobin (Kota Shimura) as an aspiring NewTuber who wants to earn money not only for himself but also for his cancer-stricken mother's hospital costs.
The problem is that Hobin is a social outcast, a victim of abuse by troublemakers like Pakgon and Snapper, infamous NewTubers who have little regard for the weak and miserable.
They frequently antagonize Hobin, forcing him to do stuff for their videos without paying him anything.
Because of this, Hobin believes that everyone else has something while he has nothing.
His life is a shambles since he is constantly concerned about money, as opposed to Pakgon and Snapper, who can easily make a living off their nonsense videos and livestreams.
All of this fueled Hobin's desire to begin his NewTube career, but his life altered abruptly as a result of a failed livestream.
He made a million yen in a fighting video with Snapper, and he has since been reaching greater heights on the platform with his unique content.

So, When Does Hobin Glow Up and Become Strong in Viral Hit?
Viral Hit is not a fast-paced manhwa series, so seeing Hobin's glow up may take some time.
It's not one of those series where we see a character glow after reading 20 or 30 chapters, but Hobin's turning point comes at chapter 120, when we see him all buffed up, flexing his well-toned abs and muscles by the end of the chapter.
He’s not like the Hobin we saw initially in the manga or the anime, where he looks like a vulnerable and hopeless high schooler who can’t fend for himself.
It seriously took a long time before Hobin glowed up, following his rough training with Samdak himself.
Fortunately, he’s not an amateur any longer, given the muscular body he has now. He kept up with Samdak’s training for 85 days, despite the fact that he can’t put on muscles easily.
Sure, Hobin is still doubtful about his body not being ready to take on stronger opponents, but Samdak is confident he won’t lose anymore.
