With the rapid growth of livestreaming technology in recent years, the term streamer now covers a much wider range of content than ever before. Instead of just sitting in front of a computer playing games like before, many new-generation streamers barely know anything about gaming but excel at grabbing viewers’ attention through talents like dancing or singing. Some even don’t have to do much at all, simply leveraging their looks to rack up huge followings.
Take Barbian as an example. One of AfreecaTV’s standout names, she boasts over 110,000 followers on Instagram. She’s not skilled at gaming or particularly great at engaging viewers through talk, yet her streams consistently draw a solid audience. This mainly comes from her content featuring sexy outfits and hot dance routines. On top of that, Barbian’s figure is undeniably flawless.
Recently, Barbian stirred quite a debate by openly saying she earns money mainly thanks to her body, specifically her bust. She shared that as a kid, she felt very uncomfortable and often hid her large chest. But as she grew older and embraced her sensuality, she started making 60 million won (around 1.2 billion VND) a month, a dream figure for many female streamers.
Barbian’s confession surprised many and sparked mixed opinions. Originally, she streamed League of Legends content but struggled to grow her audience. It wasn’t until she started showing off her body that her career took off and her income soared. Some critics accuse her of promoting unhealthy content, while fans argue that as long as she follows platform rules, it’s all good.
