On January 6th, A Pink held press conference for the release of 8th mini-album 'Percent'. During the Q&A session, Bomi was asked about her YouTube channel 'Bbom Bbom Bbom'.
"It hasn't even been one year, but I am so thankful that so many subscribers have given me their support. I am recording YouTube videos with joy, even now. I am planning on diligently making the videos until [the subscriber count] hits 1 million and 2 million," expressed Bomi.
When Bomi was asked if she makes more money from YouTube or from A Pink, she replied, "Of course, through A Pink I make a much bigger profit. There really isn't much [with YouTube]. After running a channel for six months, I learned that you should never start YouTube to earn money."
Bomi also explained that she first started dreaming of becoming a YouTuber five years ago, when she "watched 24 hours a day while on a weight-loss diet."
Following this report, netizens responded to Bomi's statements with doubt and criticism. The top comments revealed:
- "You're doing this for the money too..",
- "Who's gonna do it if it doesn't bring you money?",
- "Why are you doing this then? lol what the devil is she talking about?"
- "Then, stop receiving advertisement offers",
- "If you have over 500K subscribers, I heard it brings you about ten million KRW a month, but I guess to you that is nothing....",
- "Of course you want to earn money and gain attention",
Meanwhile, other netizens supported Bomi:
- "I think she's trying to say that it's difficult to start a YouTube just to earn money by quitting your job. Are you even reading the full article?"
- "She saying thatshe started YouTube by looking at the profits but later learned that it wasn't so easy as much as she thought"
- "How come our people just get angry before anything else?"
