Not One Year but One Month: 'Banker Salary 4 Times' Earned... The Story of a 3 Million YouTuber

Movie YouTuber Jimovie Reveals on 'Human Story'
"I Earn Several Times More Than the Salary of the Job I Was Applying For"

A YouTuber with 3.23 million subscribers has attracted attention by revealing his monthly income. He stated, "I think I earn three to four times the annual salary of the place I was trying to get a job at."

On the 16th, movie review YouTuber Jimubi appeared on the YouTube channel 'Human Story,' which interviews celebrities and famous ordinary people, and talked about his video production process and the reason he became a YouTuber.

Jimubi, who started YouTube while preparing for employment, mentioned his experience of failing the final interview at a financial institution with a competition rate of 2:1, saying, "The four-character idiom I relate to the most is 'Insaengsa Saeongjima' (Life is full of ups and downs)."

He said, "Sometimes when you think, 'How could things get worse than this?' it might later turn out to be the path to the greatest fortune," adding, "If I had passed then, I wouldn't have done YouTube."

When asked about his earnings early in the video, Jimubi replied, "Combining advertising and YouTube view revenue on a monthly basis, I think I earn three to four times the annual salary of the place I was trying to get a job at." When the questioner said, "If it's three to four times a regular employee's salary, that means over 100 million won per month," he agreed, saying, "On average, that's true."

When asked about his ranking among domestic YouTubers, Jimubi answered, "It shows I'm ranked 157th, and among movie YouTubers worldwide, I'm 393rd." He added, "YouTube doesn't require much initial capital," and said, "The only investment I made was a 200,000 won microphone."

Meanwhile, Jimubi, who currently runs his own content company, cited motivation through incentives as his secret to managing employees.

He said, "Instead of focusing on base salary, it's mainly incentive-based. When they handle advertising projects, they get bonuses, and they also get bonuses based on views. Some employees have taken home up to 8 million won a month. This way, they can work harder, and it's a win-win situation."
