"Thankful" Active 'Ottogi 3rd Generation' Ham Yeon-ji Announces YouTube Hiatus... What Happened?

"Deep Thoughts on Promoting Hansik in the US"

Ottogi's third-generation musical actress Ham Yeon-ji (31) is stopping her activities on her YouTube channel, which has 470,000 subscribers. It has been about four years since the channel was launched.

On the 22nd, Ham announced the suspension of her activities with a video titled "Thank you all this time" on her YouTube channel 'Ham Yeon-ji,' revealing her recent status: "I am deeply contemplating how to effectively promote Korean food in the US market. I enjoy working and having this routine lifestyle suits me very well, so I am spending very meaningful days."

Ham said, "Over the past four years, I have shared my daily life with you and communicated, but now I feel it would be good to take some time to listen to the voice of my heart." She added, "I want to quietly feel and enjoy each day and appreciate the meaning of that."

She also said, "I will take some rest on weekends, go on outings without a camera, and practice true self-love to become a better person."

She continued, "Many people waited for the day of the week to watch my videos and recharge happily. Now, even if videos are not uploaded, I hope everyone recharges happily in many ways every day and stays healthy and happy." She added, "I was truly happy that you embraced us, came back, and showed us love over the past four years. Thank you very much for loving me so much."

Ham is the great-granddaughter of the late Ham Tae-ho, the founder of Ottogi, and the eldest daughter among one son and one daughter of Chairman Ham Young-jun. She is a major shareholder holding 1.07% of Ottogi's shares.

In September, she expressed her intention to move to Los Angeles, USA, saying, "At some point, I felt a strong sense of mission to promote Korean food. So I want to learn on-site in LA, the largest and central market." Last month, she also revealed her residence in the US.

This has strengthened speculation that Ham might participate in Ottogi's management. Ham Yoon-sik, the eldest son of Ottogi Chairman Ham Young-jun, joined Ottogi in 2021 and is currently a deputy general manager in the management division. Born in 1991, he has not yet been publicly exposed.
