In the video, "Im Soo-hyang's YouTube that she only talked about for 10 years is finally revealed," the actress told a story about her childhood, which was a new one for the viewers, while sorting out her closet. As she showed the viewers expensive designer outfits from her teenage years, Im Soo-hyang made a sincere confession, "My family was rich back then. So my mom bought me a lot of these things." The exposure of the fact included the representation of a luxury red padded jacket that she wore in her middle and high school days, proving that they had a good amount of money during her youngest years. This sort of genuineness is also the reason that the platform has seen a surge in the popularity of a genre called celebrity lifestyle channels.

The video disclosed that the actress not only has a minimalist driving style, but her production crew also found it astonishing when they knew she has only driven 3,600 kilometers over two years of owning a car. Im Soo-hyang explained through laughter, "I really do not need a car," and by this comment, she offered viewers the opportunity to have a sneak peek into her very simple life that they hadn't expected because of her well-known identity. Her sincere sharing of her private experiences is indicative of the fact that in the present day, celebrities usually resort to YouTube channels in order to become closer to the fans and go way beyond traditional media appearances to create content that has the edge of being unfiltered.

Celebrity YouTube channels are at their peak as users of these channels who are influential in the entertainment industry are sharing their lifestyle, behind-the-scenes moments, and personal stories with their audience globally. Im Soo-hyang's YouTube venture places her among other victorious celebrity content creators who have diversified their fan engagement by adding significant income sources from the monetization features of the platform. Thus, the kind reception of her original video indicates that the channel is likely to grow amidst the rivalry in the world of celebrity-driven content creation.
