YouTuber Ralal (32, real name Lee Yoo-ra), who has 1.84 million subscribers, has made headlines by confessing that despite the success of her character 'Lee Myung-hwa', "I lost all the money I earned."
On the 9th, a video titled "Beginner Mom Ralal learns parenting methods from senior mom Kim Nam-joo" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Kim Nam-joo'.
On that day, Ralal candidly discussed her earnings related to the Lee Myung-hwa character as a guest.
When Kim Nam-joo first asked, "Did you make a lot of money with the Lee Myung-hwa character?", Ralal surprisingly replied, "Many people think I hit the jackpot, but in reality, the losses were much greater."
She revealed, "I haven't talked about this much... I ended up losing a lot while running a merchandise business. It feels like all the money I earned just disappeared."
"It was really tough," Ralal said, adding, "These days, I feel a bit more at ease thinking, 'It wasn't my money to begin with'."
She continued, "I worked so hard that I couldn't help but feel depressed. My thoughts were spiraling," but she also mentioned, "If I think simply, many people endure and live through things they don't want to do. I was one of them. I used to work part-time in a factory during middle school, and remembering that time when I would go to work after just two hours of sleep brings me back to reality. If I ask myself, 'Can I go back to working in a factory like I did then?', it really wakes me up."
Additionally, she smiled and said, "I have never been someone who had a lot of money. I want to be grateful for the fact that I can earn money through this work."
Ralal currently has 1.84 million subscribers. Last February, she announced her pregnancy and marriage simultaneously, and she gave birth to a daughter in July. After gaining weight due to pregnancy and childbirth, she introduced the middle-aged woman character 'Lee Myung-hwa', which received an unexpectedly warm response, marking her true peak.
