“Uh, because, I want my life money and I start, but I now don’t want money but just this is my content,” HAchubby said, prompting laughs from Angelskimi. After a few giggles, she continued on: “And because very my chat very very like this content. A lot of the people like this. This is true!”

HAchubby wasn’t finished there, however, as explained that streaming was also good for her wellbeing – even though her fellow streamer didn’t quite understand at first.

“Just, I want to keep going because it’s very good for the mind,” the Korean streamer added. “I’m going to the state of mind that this is very good – very good, state of mind.” She also noted that streaming keeps her responsible and in a good ‘work mind’.

Some fans may want her to jump into streaming full-time, but it doesn’t appear as if HAchubby will be following through on that just yet.
