Gwangsan Kim Family Reveals YouTube Revenue Drop
The Gwangsan Kim family channel experienced a renaissance heyday when older brother Kim Seung-hyun was filming, recording up to 2 million views due to initial public interest, according to OSEN. However, as time went on, both family members and the production team had to prioritize their main jobs, leaving no one dedicated full-time to the channel. Kim Seung-hwan and the editor both juggle separate primary occupations, leading to what Kim described as a somewhat disorganized and scattered channel.
Detailed Breakdown of the 10 Million to 1 Million Won Plunge
During the August 23 video titled “Actually, with Ok-ja and Eun-jung…”, the channel’s realistic earnings were disclosed for the first time. While the channel once brought in 10 million Korean won per month during its peak, that figure has now sharply dropped to 1 million Korean won per month. Kim Seung-hwan noted that earning 1 million won currently is actually doing quite well compared to periods when earnings were in the tens of thousands.
