Kim Gu Ra reveals golf YouTube channel earns up to 40 million won monthly

Broadcaster Kim Gu Ra drew attention by revealing the revenue he generates through his golf YouTube channel, stating that during peak periods, he has earned as much as 30 million to 40 million won in a single month. This highlights how YouTube is becoming a significant source of income for broadcasters, moving beyond a simple side job.

On the 25th, a video titled 'A comedian who hit the jackpot after buying a real estate CEO lunch?' was released on the YouTube channel 'Geurigura'. Comedian Miki Gwang Su, who appeared as a guest, spoke candidly about managing his own YouTube channel and his earnings.

Miki Gwang Su explained, "My channel has long watch times and high loyalty, so even when I get 100,000 views, it feels a bit different from 100,000 views on other channels." He then surprised the cast by revealing, "From YouTube revenue alone, I have hit over 10 million won in a month."

In response, Kim Gu Ra mentioned his own golf channel, which currently has approximately 370,000 subscribers. He said, "Cuckoo Golf was like that too. When it was doing well, it brought in 30 million to 40 million won." By disclosing the specific scale of his revenue, he highlighted the significant influence of YouTube channels.

When Director Kim In Man remarked, "Then you could just do YouTube," Miki Gwang Su shared the realistic difficulties involved. He said, "It's not that easy because ideas gradually run dry, and you get exhausted from editing all night long." His explanation suggests that even when views and revenue are high, YouTube is by no means an easy task.

Ultimately, the conversation revealed both the glamorous revenue of YouTube and the intense labor behind it. Kim Gu Ra disclosed his experience of earning tens of millions of won per month through golf content, while Miki Gwang Su expressed the burden of idea depletion and editing despite earning over 10 million won a month. It demonstrated the reality that behind viral views lies consistent content production and significant labor.
