On the October 21st episode of TV Chosun's 'X's Private Life,' Yoo Gyeppip's unfiltered daily life was showcased, highlighting her expanding influence in the beauty and fashion sectors.
During the broadcast, her ex-husband, Cho Kogi, appeared, expressing mixed emotions while observing Yoo Gyeppip's current life. Yoo Gyeppip candidly shared that she left the marriage without any financial settlement, recalling the financially challenging months following her divorce. However, through relentless effort, she has now established herself as a popular creator, with her highest monthly earnings reaching 70 million won, astonishing the show's participants.
Despite her impressive earnings, Yoo Gyeppip's humble lifestyle, using public transportation due to not having a driver's license, caught attention. She was seen visiting a plastic surgery clinic in Apgujeong, focusing on content creation with just her phone in hand.
Yoo Gyeppip's dedication to her profession was evident as she continued filming even during painful procedures to provide her subscribers with firsthand information on skincare. Her commitment deeply impressed Kim Gura, who praised her work ethic. Yoo Gyeppip not only shares external information but also incorporates her personal experiences into her content, building strong trust with her audience.
In addition to her creator activities, Yoo Gyeppip works part-time at a cafe, managing a 'double job.' She explained, "As a freelancer, my income is irregular," emphasizing the necessity of a stable income source to consistently provide for her daughter's upbringing. Despite her significant earnings, Yoo Gyeppip's daily routine of working at the cafe demonstrates her strong sense of responsibility as a mother and her determination for independence. She highlighted that her choices are solely for her child's benefit, reflecting a mature approach to life.
Meanwhile, Cho Kogi and Yoo Gyeppip married in 2016 following a premarital pregnancy. They welcomed their daughter, Solip, two months after their wedding but separated after four years. Cho Kogi's girlfriend of five years has been working as the PD for his parenting channel for the past two years. Currently, Cho Kogi is raising their daughter alone.
