The recent controversy surrounding HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk and AfreecaTV streamer Juicy Se Yeon has sparked numerous online discussions. Bang Si Hyuk was seen in Los Angeles with Juicy Se Yeon, leading to widespread speculation about their relationship.
The incident was back in the spotlight when it was revealed that Juicy Se Yeon earned 16 million KRW (~12,000 USD) from a two-hour stream.
Korean netizens were baffled by how easily the streamer earned such a large sum of money through her latest stream and commented:
"She made 16 million KRW (12,000 USD) from just two hours of streaming yesterday. Ugh, this is giving me a reality check."
"Honestly, I’d rather not eat and save money than think about making money that way... I only imagined it would involve something like sexy dancing, but it just made me think you must have a strong stomach."
"I'm a real money chaser, but no matter how much money you make from that, I wouldn't want to do it. If you're so jealous, why don't you give it a try?"
"No matter how pretty I am, I would never do something like that. If your face is that well-known, you better be earning that much... But you probably won't hear any compliments about earning money wherever you go."
"I really love money, but I don't think I could do that even if someone told me to, haha. This is the first time I've not been jealous of someone who earns a lot."
"Why would you be jealous of making money in that way...? There’s such a thing as human dignity."
"I'm really not jealous of people who make a lot of money by selling their bodies."
"I wish I could make that much money just by streaming without doing adult content..."
"It's vulgar."
"I'm most jealous of successful vloggers whose faces aren’t shown... Of course, they have a certain charm that attracts viewers, but the standard of living where the world doesn't know who you are yet you have lots of money..."
