Jeon Won-joo Resumes YouTube Activities with New Production Team: "I Realized I Shouldn't Be Too Picky"

Broadcaster Jeon Won-joo, 86, who previously announced that her YouTube production was halted due to a conflict over money issues, is set to resume her YouTube activities with a new production team.

An official from Jeon Won-joo's agency, Sky People Entertainment, stated on the 14th, "Jeon Won-joo's YouTube channel 'Jeon Won-joo's Protagonist' is currently forming a new production team and preparing content." However, a specific schedule for uploading content has not yet been finalized.

Previously, Jeon Won-joo appeared on the YouTube channel 'Not Omija, Samija' on the 11th and personally revealed the reason why she had suspended her YouTube activities.

She attracted attention by openly sharing her feelings, saying, "When I tried to raise this (cost), they said they would quit, so I just told them to do it again. I even thought about quitting, but I realized I shouldn't be too picky."

Following her remarks about the "money issue," some subscribers expressed mixed feelings, noting that Jeon Won-joo is known as a multi-millionaire with assets worth billions of won.

Previously, Jeon Won-joo became embroiled in a frugality controversy when content from her channel showed her visiting a cafe with her daughter-in-law and ordering only one drink for three people. As criticisms continued that this did not fit the prevalent atmosphere where the one-drink-per-person culture is standard in cafes, Jeon Won-joo and her production team later stepped forward to explain and apologize.

'Jeon Won-joo's Protagonist' was launched in September of last year and once drew attention by gathering 120,000 subscribers, but the subscriber count has since dropped to the 110,000 range. Content uploads were abruptly halted last month when the previous production team delivered their farewell messages.
