Creator Lala revealed the other side of her avatar, 'Lee Myung-hwa.' Many people are expressing sympathy and regret after her confession that the Lee Myung-hwa project, which many regarded as successful, actually involved economic losses.

On the 9th, a video titled 'New mom Lala learns parenting tips from veteran mom Kim Nam-joo' was released on the YouTube channel 'Kim Nam-joo.' In the video, Lala stated, 'The Lee Myung-hwa character is really fun, but I want to try a new avatar. However, it's difficult to take on a new character because I haven't lost weight. I'm trying to reduce my late-night snacks.'

In response, Kim Nam-joo asked, 'You made a lot of money as Lee Myung-hwa, right?' Lala hesitated for a moment and said, 'Many people think it was a big hit, but the losses were actually much greater. I couldn’t even talk about it, and we still have a lot of merchandise left over. It felt like all the money I earned just disappeared, and it was really tough.'

She continued, 'It's not that I gained weight, but when I think, 'I never had money,' and 'That money wasn't mine,' it makes me feel a bit easier.' However, she shared, 'Honestly, whenever I recall how hard I worked, I can't help but feel depressed.'

To this, Kim Nam-joo encouraged her, saying, 'This kind of character is bound to succeed.'

Lala also reflected on her past, sharing, 'I also worked in a factory and did part-time jobs to make ends meet during middle school. If you ask me whether I would want to go back to that time because things are tough now, I would think, 'Even so, now is better.'

She added, 'I realized that this job itself is something to be thankful for. I wasn't originally someone who had money, and just being able to earn through this job makes me grateful, so I'm trying to keep my spirits up.'

In particular, Lala revealed that she even made a cameo appearance in a movie as the Lee Myung-hwa character, but she has yet to receive her appearance grants. 'The movie will be released in the second half of next year, and I’ll be able to receive the payment then,' she explained, adding, 'The deposit hasn't been made yet.'

Meanwhile, Lala is a creator loved by many fans for her cheerful energy and honest charm, with her avatar Lee Myung-hwa also drawing attention as a distinct character.
