Achieved 9.7 Million Won in Donations in Just 2 Hours in July

Jo Min, who has been indicted on charges of admission fraud, requested subscribers to refrain from excessive encouragement of donations.


On the 31st of last month, Jo posted a message related to donations on her YouTube channel 'Jjomin.' She announced, “I will hide comments excessively encouraging Super Chats (donations) in the video to be released today,” adding, “During comment monitoring, I saw rude comments such as ‘What is 20,000 won? Send 200,000 won,’” and expressed concern that “this might conflict with the original purpose of the video and make it appear like a donation solicitation broadcast.”

She said, “I personally produce and edit the Study With Me videos to create a space for communication with subscribers while studying together,” and explained, “The reason for broadcasting in the form of a premiere is due to the nature of the Pomodoro study technique, where a timer operates to maintain focus.”


The Pomodoro technique, named after the Italian word for tomato, involves a pattern of 25 minutes of study followed by 5 minutes of rest. ▶ Select the study (or task) to be done ▶ Set the Pomodoro timer (25 minutes) ▶ Do the selected study (or task) ▶ When the Pomodoro timer ends, leave your seat and take a 5-minute break ▶ Repeat the 25-minute study + 5-minute break cycle four times as one set, then take a long 20-minute break, totaling 2 hours. During the 25 minutes, one must concentrate perfectly, and short breaks are recommended not to exceed 5 minutes.


Jo said, “Even if you do not donate a single won, just being with me is a great strength,” and added, “Nevertheless, I deeply appreciate the many people who have donated. The donations sent will be saved and used for meaningful purposes.”



On July 21, Jo Min raised about 9.7 million won in donations during a YouTube broadcast lasting about two hours. In response, former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker Jeon Yeo-ok criticized, saying, “Leftists whine about how hard life is and send 10 million won Super Chats to Jo Min’s videos pretending to study.”
