Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan spent a special time with his YouTube fans under the concept of a 'late bloomer first birthday party.'
On the 12th, a video titled "Live Birthday Party for Celebrities Spending 2 Million Won Out of Pocket as an Event" was posted on the YouTube channel "If You're Curious, Heo Kyung-hwan."
Heo Kyung-hwan (44) held a live broadcast to celebrate surpassing 10,000 subscribers. Although he has already exceeded his target and recorded over 20,000, he couldn't hide his disappointment as the number of viewers was low. He joked, "I even announced it on Instagram, but no one came."
On that day, he expressed a humble wish. "I really want to receive the YouTube Silver Button (for 100,000 subscribers). It used to feel like someone else's story, but now it has become my life goal," he revealed.
Real-time comment interaction also continued. One fan requested a meeting, saying, "My mother wants to make you her son-in-law," while another fan joked, "It feels like a shamanic broadcast." Heo Kyung-hwan responded with his unique wit, heating up the atmosphere.
He also shared an episode about limb amputation in a recent broadcast. He recounted visiting a stir-fried octopus restaurant and being scolded by the owner, "Heo Kyung-hwan, please don't get height surgery." He honestly revealed his complex, saying, "When I sit, I'm Hollywood, but when I stand, my dream disappears."
He did not hide his ambition for awards. "I want to win an entertainment award with my catchphrase 'Eolreongdungtang,'" he stated. He added, "My dream is to be an actor," expressing his bold aspiration to break into Hollywood with a film that attracts 10 million viewers.
Heo Kyung-hwan promised to give away products worth 1 to 1.5 million won to 100 people as part of the event. He also mentioned that he is considering fan nicknames like 'Momo-dul' and 'Jjaljjal-i.'
In a cookie video, he said, "I really respect those who do live broadcasts," and promised to hold another live session when his subscriber count reaches 30,000. As of the 12th, his channel has 22,200 subscribers.
