She receives around 50K to 100K of star balloons in a day.
If we total all of the money we earned from our 7 years of career, each of us probably won't even get 10,000 KRW (~$8,230)
That means the amount of money she earns daily as a BJ is so much more than the amount of money she used to earn as an idol

1. [+79][-1] Guys, no need to be jealous. Being a BJ is actually not as easy as it looks. When you first start, it's not easy to receive star balloons or even have more than 10 viewers. Not just anyone can be a famous BJ, that's why ex-idols usually turn into a BJ. That doesn't mean all ex-idols are doing well as a BJ as well. It is indeed true that it's one of the professions that can easily earn large amount of money, but you don't know the hardships they have to go through to get to that point.
2. [+49][-1] Seems like this is why idols nowadays choose to retire and become a BJ instead.
3. [+29][-2] But I'm sure she sometimes question her decisions. She used to work her ass off as an idol, and now that she becomes a BJ, she can easily earn money without having to work as hard as she used to.
4. [+5][-0] The fact that she still chose to be an idol even when she couldn't earn 10,000KRW over 7 years of her career is more fascinating to me... Is being an idol just a part-time work for her or what?
5. [+4][-0] I wonder how much money the founder of AfreecaTV earns...
