In particular, it was reported that the profits earned in the month of June amounted to approximately 4.9 billion won, including Afreeca TV Star Balloon fees and taxes.

Siwon Kim is well known as a member of the girl group Dahee. In 2014, she was a controversial woman who showed part of a lewd video to Lee Byung-hun and demanded 5 billion won in cash.
