She began by saying, "The Cho family will do anything for money," and pointed out, "Jjomin's sense to catch the Chuseok special by advertising red ginseng."

She also added, "There are people who buy red ginseng recommended by a 'doctor,'" and said, "But it's a fake doctor."

Regarding Cho's advertisement content, she said, "The shocking part is that after taking it for a month, she said she felt a 'clear difference,'" and added, "She copied the home shopping method of selling red ginseng."

She criticized further, saying, "Even the top home shopping hosts never say things like 'After taking red ginseng for just one month!' because it is exaggerated advertising."

Additionally, she pointed out Cho's explanation that there is no additional advertising revenue based on product sales volume but that donations are made in the name of the Jjomin channel, saying, "I already knew she wrote nonsensical sentences, but it shouldn't be called 'donation.' It should be said that she receives 'incentives'."

Earlier, on the 12th, Cho Min uploaded an 8-minute and 9-second advertisement video introducing a red ginseng product on her YouTube channel 'Jjomin.'

In the video, Cho said, "If I do too many advertisements, my YouTube identity might be shaken, so when ads come in, I really research a lot and select whether the ad suits me or not," and explained, "This time, after analyzing it, I found the ingredients good and accepted the advertisement to give it as a gift to my grandmother."

She also added, "There is no additional advertising revenue based on sales volume. A certain amount based on sales volume is donated in the name of the Jjomin channel (to vulnerable groups), so please purchase a lot. Highly recommended as a holiday gift."

She arranged the red ginseng set prominently in the video and explained the product ingredients in detail. During the process, she also showed herself eating it and displayed subtitles saying "Trustworthy Jjomin advertisement."

Meanwhile, as of the 14th, Cho Min's YouTube channel 'Jjomin' has over 302,000 subscribers, surpassing 300,000 in just over four months since its launch on May 12. According to the YouTube analytics site Playboard, this is the second paid advertisement video uploaded on the channel, following one on the 8th of last month.
