During the conversation between Tak and Mimi, the topic of her YouTube channel, MimPD, came up, and the host couldn’t help but marvel at the large following she has created on the platform. Mimi revealed that she edits the videos on the channel by herself, and all the revenue from the content goes to her alone.

Tak Jae Hoon: You have 440,000 subscribers
Mimi: 450,000.
Tak Jae Hoon: Do you do the editing by yourself?
Mimi: Yes, I do it myself.
Tak Jae Hoon: Then you get revenue money alone…
Mimi: Yes, I’m the only one receiving the revenue.

Since her label doesn’t contribute to the content production of MimPD, Mimi gets to keep all her earnings. But because her channel has gotten bigger, now she has started working with a team.

Because I don’t get any help from the company, it goes to me alone. Now I have a crew because it has gotten a little bigger.

Tak Jae Hoon then teased the idol, asking if she felt apologetic to her members for earning all that money alone. Mimi playfully whined, “They all started earning before me!”

Tak Jae Hoon: How is it? If you’re earning all the profit by yourself, do you feel sorry for the members?
Mimi: But the members have already earned so much money! They all started earning before me!

Her response was followed by a shocking disclosure. Mimi said she started earning profits only recently, after eight years of being active. During all these years, she claimed that her earnings were in the minus. When Tak Jae Hoon asked how members from the same group could have such a big difference in wages, Mimi said it’s because their individual schedules are not always the same.

Mimi: I’m only making money after 8 years now. For the last 8 years, it was always in the minus, and finally, I am making profits now.
Tak Jae Hoon: But all the members had similar schedules. How did someone earn more?
Mimi: Not all of us had the same schedules!

The host couldn’t help asking which one of her members was the richest, but Mimi playfully dodged the question saying, “They don’t disclose it easily.” When Tak Jae Hoon asked the opposite question, who lived the most like a broke person in her group, she immediately answered, “Me.”

Tak Jae Hoon: Which member earns the most?
Mimi: They don’t disclose it easily.
Tak Jae Hoon: Which member lives the most like a broke person?
Mimi: Me.

At this response, Tak pointed out the expensive Cartier jewelry on her hands, teasing her about her “broke” situation, but Mimi said she only splurges on stuff like that.
