YouTuber Okeun revealed his income following the scam coin controversy.

On the 4th, a video titled "So how much are you making now??" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Jin Yong-jin'.

Jin Yong-jin asked Okeun, who appeared as a guest, "Your earnings used to be very high, right?" and added, "I'm curious about just how low your revenue from views has dropped."

In response, Okeun said, "Based on YouTube metrics, I think it peaked at around 50 million to 60 million won." He added, "(Including advertisements) there's a plus alpha. If you count an average of three or four (ad deals), there were times when I really earned in the hundreds of millions of won range."

Okeun also disclosed his current income. He stated, "There are people who believe in me. Because there are people who like me, they help me a lot. So compared to when I was earning the most, it seems to have decreased by more than 10 times."

Jin Yong-jin commented, "When he was earning well, he made over 100 million won per month, but now it fluctuates between 10 million and 20 million won. It has dropped to one-tenth, but even that is a huge amount of money."

Okeun explained, "Just because my revenue has become one-tenth, if I earn 10 million or 20 million won, the money going out is exactly 10 million to 20 million won." He continued, "It feels like maintaining the status quo, or slightly dipping into the money I had saved up as mentioned earlier. That's exactly how it is now."

Okeun also shared his feelings regarding the scam coin controversy. He said, "Of course, I regret it, and if I said I had no greed for money, that would naturally be a lie," while adding, "I am legally clean now. I have already won all the cases filed against me."

Okeun stated, "Just because there is no legal issue doesn't mean there is no moral responsibility," and revealed that he is making efforts to prevent new victims in order to bear a small amount of responsibility.

Meanwhile, Okeun was embroiled in suspicions of involvement in scam coins in February 2024. Okeun had been registered as a director of WINNERz, which is under suspicion for scam coins.

He initially denied the investment but later admitted to the allegations. However, he subsequently claimed that he was also a victim.

During this process, a spoiler revealing that Okeun had won the final prize in the Netflix survival reality show 'The Influencer', which he appeared in, was released, and as a result, Okeun did not receive the 300th million won grand prize.

He also became embroiled in suspicions of staging a scene involving breathing difficulties and police dispatch during a live broadcast at the time. Amidst the growing controversy, he suspended his activities.

Subsequently, Okeun resumed his activities on Naver's streaming platform Chzzk and YouTube last year.
