Former AOA’s Choa revealed her satisfaction with her YouTube earnings.
On July 30, Choa appeared on Ji Seok Jin’s YouTube channel. She revealed that she felt that quitting the group was the same as quitting a job.
I thought quitting the group was the same as quitting a job, but I think people saw AOA more as family.
— Choa
Ji Seok Jin wondered if there was a specific reason for her departure from the group.
It was a matter of my heart. After leaving the group, I wanted to do something on my own, but I received so much criticism. This was mentally straining, so I stayed in bed for three years.
— Choa
After hearing this, Ji Seok Jin gave words of comfort.
You received many malicious comments. But remember, more people support you than the select few who leave criticism.
— Ji Seok Jin
They also talked about Choa’s career on YouTube.
I have about 420,000 subscribers. It’s been only a month since I started my channel, but 300,000 people have subscribed. I received a lot of courage because of it. I’m not exaggerating when I say I can make a living because of YouTube. I earn more than I did with AOA.
— Choa
Ji Seok Jin was surprised that she made more than she did while with AOA.
When I was promoting with AOA, I left the group when they started to make money, so I didn’t make that much.
— Choa
On the other hand, Choa debuted as AOA in 2012 but left the group in 2017 due to insomnia and depression.
