[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

A Korean child YouTuber with 30 million subscribers surprised people on Tuesday by buying a five-story building in Seoul's affluent Gangnam district for 9.5 billion won ($8.06 million).

The deep-pocketed YouTuber is Boram, 6, who runs two channels ― Boram Tube Vlog (17.5 million subscribers) and Boram Tube ToyReview (13.6 million subscribers) ― on the video-streaming website.

She is one of the most-followed Korean YouTube creators and her channels' combined monthly sales are estimated at a staggering 3.7 billion won.

The 1975 building is on 258.3 square meters of land in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam. Why she bought the building is unknown.




She's got a ton of videos well over 100 million views. One channel alone is almost at 6 billion views.

well at least her guardians are smart to invest in real estate and not squander it on other dumb shit (though they're prob doing that too) child youtubers make me sad.

Do other kids enjoy watching kid YouTubers like this? I can't wrap my mind around why or how she has this many subscribers

These kid youtubers also attract alot of pedophiles so her views&subs are a product of perverts getting ultimate access to children

Yes, my mom babysits kids and when they were 2-5 they would exclusively watch songs and toy reviews. The egg opening toy opening videos were one of their favs. I didn't get it because the Youtubers never played with the toys, they just opened the packaging but whatever, the kids love it

Oh this is a whole world of YouTube I don’t understand and honestly don’t really want to. Especially since these videos aren’t all that different than other kids doing kid stuff on YouTube - why is this one so massively popular?

But hey good for that kid I guess, they won’t be a kid forever
