Another suspicion arose regarding the timing of the video being made private while YouTuber and influencer Song Ji-a (Freesia), who apologized for being caught up in the so-called ‘fake’ controversy, announced on the 25th that her activities were finally suspended.
Previously, on the 25th, Song Jia posted a video on her YouTube channel titled ‘I am Song Jia’ and said, “Despite that I should have been more careful as a YouTuber, I used fakes to undermine the value of the brand, and to many people who believe in me. “I’ve caused disappointment,” he apologized, saying, “This is my inexcusable fault.”
However, netizens also raised suspicions regarding the time when Song Ji-ah posted an apology video.
Most of the netizens pointed out that Song Jia delayed the time to receive the YouTube payment, but immediately switched to private and uploaded an apology video.
Meanwhile, YouTube pays ad revenue around the 21st of every month. This month, the proceeds were paid on the 24th, delayed on weekends and holidays. In addition, since the private conversion video might not generate revenue, netizens poured out speculation that the video was maintained until Song Ji-ah was paid, and then converted to private following the profit was made.
Song Jia’s monthly income from YouTube is estimated to exceed 300 million won, and it is estimated that she earns much more than this if fees are added.
Netizens are not hiding their doubts regarding the sincerity of the apology.
