16 Years Of Acting Versus Almost 12 Million YouTube Subscribers — What’s The Pay Difference?

Former actress-turned-YouTuber Ssoyoung (also known as Han So Young) hinted at how much she makes.

Ssoyoung made an appearance on MBN‘s talk show, Dongchimi.

On this day, the YouTuber, who currently has over 11.8 million subscribers, reflected on her success.

My first mukbang video was me eating kimbap. My husband bought it for me. After consistently making videos, I am nearing 10 million subscribers.

Ssoyoung was then asked if she made a lot of money, to which the YouTuber responded by comparing the money she made as a YouTuber to when she was an actress.

It’s different every month. As you all know, it differs by how many views I received. I make more as a YouTuber in a month than I did throughout my 14-year acting career combined.

Meanwhile, Ssoyoung (also known as Han So Young) debuted as an actress in 2004. The actress would go on to star in dramas such as Glamorous Temptation, Second To Last Love, Father, and I’ll Take Care Of You. She last acted in 2020 drama, My Wonderful Life, hence the 16 year distinction, even though she said on the show 14.

Ssoyoung has since transitioned to become a mukbang YouTuber, whose 1,300 videos have been viewed over 1.9 billion times as of this writing. Check out her latest video in the link below.
