Although not his main source of income, the amount of donations is certainly one of the issues that many streamers around the world pay attention to. For top names, this is not an issue, but for those still looking to find their footing, they are always willing to comply with any requests or challenges from viewers to earn large donations, even if sometimes those requests are quite stringent and absurd. A typical example is the streamer in the story below, who recently completed a challenge of drinking 20 liters of milk live on stream.
Our main character is Chang-hyun, a streamer who is not particularly well-known on Afreeca TV. In his latest live stream, this young man was unexpectedly challenged by an anonymous fan to drink 20 liters of fresh milk, with a prize of 100,000 balloons – items that are converted into donation money on Afreeca TV. Based on the exchange rate, the amount Chang-hyun would receive after completing the challenge could reach up to 200 million VND – a figure that is surely attractive enough to make him willing to do anything. So it’s no surprise that we saw him rushing out to buy a pack of milk right after.
It is known that the time to complete the challenge was 90 minutes. Looking at the pack of milk that Chang-hyun prepared, many people expressed their concerns for this streamer. Some even admitted in the chat channel that they never thought they could do this. In fact, Chang-hyun himself had said, “I might have to go to the hospital right after completing the challenge“. But despite saying that, the streamer still tried to go on, as the prospect of 200 million seemed too tempting.
Putting aside the viewers’ worries, Chang-hyun ultimately completed the challenge, but it was indeed not as easy as many had imagined. After 40 minutes of “intense” effort, the streamer finally completed this challenge, but throughout the process, it was impossible to count how many times he ran to the bathroom to vomit. The streamer also wearily messaged his fans, “Don’t try this at home“. Fortunately, he completed the challenge, and the first thing he did after receiving the donation money was not to celebrate or anything. Simply put, he rushed straight to the refrigerator and opened a box of kimchi to calm his stomach.
This shows that earning money is not an easy task. It remains to be seen whether Chang-hyun’s health is okay after the challenge, as he hurriedly ended the live stream right thereafter. Many people are currently expressing concern for the stomach of this streamer.
