Tzuyang, a mukbang YouTuber with 12.9 million subscribers, has once again drawn attention for her income and investment methods.
Tzuyang said on Radio Star last year, "My income is about 100 million won a month, and there were times when it far exceeded 100 million won," drawing great interest. At the time, she attracted viewers' attention with her trademark frank talk and the nickname "the little giant."
On The Manager, when asked, "There are stories that monthly food expenses are about 10 million won; is that true?" Tzuyang frankly acknowledged, "In months when I eat a lot, it can be more than that," once again surprising audiences. She also astonished viewers by saying she sometimes spends 3 million won on a single delivery meal.
Meanwhile, Tzuyang's money management secrets were revealed, drawing even more attention. On the 4th, a video titled "A foreign luxury car with monthly income, Tzuyang's money management secrets" was posted on Yoon Il-sang's YouTube channel Producer Yoon Il-sang.
Yoon Il-sang asked, "You trade a lot of stocks these days; how do you manage your finances?" and Tzuyang replied decisively, "I have nothing to worry about. I don't," surprising everyone. When Yoon Il-sang asked again, "Do you mean you don't do investment management?" Tzuyang confessed, "I do nothing. I don't know anything about stocks and I'm not interested. I don't even think about letting money grow. I don't make deposits and just keep it," prompting Yoon Il-sang to joke, "What's your address?" which drew laughter.
However, she showed an unexpected side on an economic common-sense test. When asked about the recent exchange rate, Tzuyang answered, "I heard the dollar exceeded 1,450 won. I know it's the third time now," and Yoon Il-sang praised her, saying, "She is a person with a very solid sense of economics." Tzuyang reacted bashfully, saying, "I've never heard that before."
When Yoon Il-sang asked, "Do you have an ultimate dream or goal for the future?" Tzuyang said calmly, "I have nothing more to wish for. I think it's already too much just to have come this far. My dream is not to become something, but to finish well. I want to leave while receiving applause." When Yoon Il-sang asked, "Then what if the applause continues?" Tzuyang honestly replied, "That would be great. Still, I don't want to be dragged down."
Yoon Il-sang said, "It's too soon to talk about retirement already," and added, "You have an unpretentious, genuine character. That's clearly why people like you. It seems like the start of a second chapter," offering words of encouragement. He continued, "The thing you must be most careful of is people," and offered sincere advice: "Rather than people who try to control you by saying, 'I'm telling you for your own good,' keep friends beside you who will speak painful truths," adding warmth to the conversation.
More than the figures of monthly income of 100 million won or monthly food expenses of 10 million won, Tzuyang's attitude of protecting the present without greed and thinking about "finishing" first remains the reason she is special.
