YouTuber Lallal Opens Up About ADHD Treatment and Her Connection with Actress Kim Nam-joo

Popular YouTuber Lallal, known for her channel with 1.84 million subscribers, recently shared her journey of undergoing treatment for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

On October 2nd, a video titled 'It's Not Lee Myung-hwa, It's Lallal. Meeting Kim Nam-joo's Favorite!' was uploaded on actress Kim Nam-joo's YouTube channel, 'Kim Nam-joo.'

In the video, Kim Nam-joo expressed her excitement upon meeting her 'favorite' by hugging Lallal tightly and showing off the subscriber merchandise Lallal brought. Kim Nam-joo even imitated Lallal's character 'Lee Myung-hwa,' showcasing her genuine fandom. She commented, "The Lee Myung-hwa character is so funny. I thought it was a real lady doing YouTube, but the comments said it was Lallal," revealing her admiration.

Kim Nam-joo shared how she became a fan, saying, "I had a tough time last year, and one day I woke up and saw this hilarious lady on Instagram." She added, "I haven't been watching YouTube for long, but Lallal is that famous," and treated Lallal to a homemade meal and fine liquor.

Lallal shared a special connection with Kim Nam-joo's husband, Kim Seung-woo, recalling, "I received an award at the 'Entertainment Awards' last year, and Kim Seung-woo was the MC. I didn't expect him to know me, but he said, 'My wife loves you. Let's take a photo later.'"

Lallal initially thought Kim Seung-woo's suggestion was just polite talk, but she recounted, "After the first part ended, he rushed over, saying, 'Lallal! We need to take that photo for my wife,'" bringing laughter.

Kim Nam-joo confirmed, "My husband knows I'm a fan of Lallal," and added, "I told him to make sure to take a photo at the awards." Lallal responded, "He's truly a loving husband. He quickly took the photo, sent it, and told me it was an honor."

Kim Nam-joo cautiously inquired about Lallal's ADHD, saying, "I thought I'd be overwhelmed when you came. I felt like I wouldn't have much to do." Lallal, who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, replied, "I took my ADHD medication today to stay calm."

Kim Nam-joo empathized, saying, "It must have been tough for you. You didn't know, and others thought it was normal," acknowledging Lallal's diagnosis. Lallal shared, "People would talk to me, and I'd think, 'What do they want from me?' But after having a child, I learned ADHD is mostly genetic, so I went for a check-up."

Lallal humorously noted, "I feel much calmer now, but everyone still says I'm all over the place," sharing the reactions of those around her.

She also discussed her family life, saying, "When I have a schedule, my husband takes care of the childcare. I know how tough it is, so I treat him well to make sure he doesn't run away." She proudly added, "My daughter is 10 months old but as tall as a 2-year-old. She looks just like her dad and eats like me. My husband is handsome."
