Daye Kim reports YouTube profits



On the 19th, a video titled 'The enormous amount of money Kim Yong-ho earned by using Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye!' was posted on the YouTube channel 'No Jong-eon and Kim Da-ye's Real News.'
In the video, Da-ye Kim began her story by saying, “The biggest reason and purpose why Kim Yong-ho slandered us with false facts was money.”
Kim Dae-ye pointed out, “They are profiting by ruining a person’s life and the lives of the precious people around them, and they are living happily.” He added, “I am trying to calculate the money that Kim Yong-ho made by using Park Soo-hong and Kim Dae-ye to falsely slander the couple. “I do it,” he said.
He said, "The number of false slanderous broadcasts using Park Soo-hong, Kim Da-ye, and Da-hong is as many as 16. Doesn't the channel itself get 1 to 3 million views? It is said that if 1 million views are received, the profit is approximately 2.2 million won. “I think the profits were enormous, especially since it was a channel that received a lot of live Super Chat.”
As a result, the advertising revenue earned from 16 cases of false slander is 70.4 million won, based on 2 million viewers per broadcast.
In particular, Da-ye Kim mentioned that the profits Yong-ho Kim earned from YouTube's 'Super Chat' function were enormous. ‘Super Chat’ is a function that allows viewers to send a certain amount of money to a YouTuber through a chat room during a live YouTube broadcast.
Da-ye Kim claimed, “When I calculated Super Chat, I received a basic amount of 5 million won and up to 30 million won,” and added, “Super Chats poured in up to 30 million won per day.”
He explained, “If we calculate the average value at 17 million won, it was broadcast 16 times, so it is about 270 million won. Of course, this is our estimate, but if we add all the advertisements and Super Chat, it comes out to 342 million won.”
Attorney Noh Jong-eon responded, "I think it would be a factor that could ruin a person's life and continue to spread false slander like this."
