A broadcaster known as Broadcast Jockey on AfreecaTV has recently become the center of heated discussions. Fans in South Korea have been actively sharing their opinions about her recent statements. Specifically, Jockey expressed her frustration and confusion after viewers reacted harshly to her sexy dancing during a livestream.
“Right now, I earn an average monthly income of over 6 million KRW (about 113 million VND). I’m trying to raise that number step by step. So sometimes I switch up my streams by dancing to get more donations. But some viewers see this negatively. Meanwhile, many famous K-Pop idols don’t face this kind of criticism.”
Jockey’s post sparked mixed reactions. Some pointed out that you can’t really compare K-Pop idols and streamers because the training time and the tough nature of each field are very different.
“They go through years of trainee life and their hard work takes a long time to be recognized.”
“There’s a fine line between art and vulgarity. You should tone down your dances a bit.”
“They perform choreography on huge concert stages, but you’re exposing yourself on your stream.”
“You compare yourself to celebrities. Even if you make a lot of money, I honestly don’t know who you are…”
In response to comments advising her not to compare streaming to being an idol, Jockey disagreed. She emphasized that no matter the field, everyone who works hard deserves respect. There shouldn’t be any discrimination. Negative criticism or unfair bias against streamers is really unfair to this group.
