YouTuber Hamji, who has 14 million subscribers, said on the 4th that she will temporarily pause her YouTube activities.
She uploaded a video to her channel titled "Major announcement! Thank you for everything."
Hamji said, "It's not a mukbang video, so you were probably surprised. I had something to say, so I decided to upload this," adding, "It's already my eighth year since I started YouTube."
She continued, "I started in my late 20s, and now I'm already past my mid-30s," and added, "My boyfriend, who created the YouTube channel with me and grew it together, and I have become a couple of 10 years. We've both gotten older, and if we don't make a decision now, another year or two will pass and we'll only be older, so after much thought, we decided to pause the mukbang channel for a while to plan for children."
She added, "It's not that I won't upload at all. I plan to post shorts I already filmed and, from time to time, one long-form video as a check-in."
She went on, "We cooked and ate so many dishes in the kitchen, and sometimes even argued while filming, making a lot of memories. It's not easy to suddenly take a break," adding, "Still, since I made a big decision for the new year, this time I'm going to get plenty of rest, eat well for my health, quit drinking, go to the hospital, and set up our family plan so that in 2026 we can try to have Hamji Jr."
Hamji said, "We'll pause the mukbang channel for a while, but I'll keep uploading to my vlog channel about daily life, so if you're curious, please come visit the vlog channel," adding, "In 2026, I'll return with good news."
