Youtuber Lalal, who returned to ‘Cultwo Show’ 4 months after giving birth, revealed the secret story of creating her sub-character Lee Myeong-hwa.

On the SBS Power FM (107.7MHz) ‘Two O‘Clock Escape Cultwo Show‘ (hereafter ‘Cultwo Show’) broadcast on Saturday the 9th, YouTuber Lalal, who had been absent from her regular guest spot due to giving birth, made her comeback broadcast after 4 months.

Although she lost 11kg after giving birth, Lalal said that she needs to lose 10kg more to get back to her previous body. When asked about her change of heart after giving birth, Lalal said, “My mindset has changed and the world looks different. I truly have love for humanity. “I feel so precious and how hard it is to carry each and every one of you for ten months and raise you as a mother,” she replied.

However, she continued, “I didn’t know raising a child would be this hard. The hardest thing is not being able to sleep. I’m sensitive even if I don’t sleep for just one day, but after four months. What’s harder is that the baby is so beautiful. It feels like I’m in hell that I can’t leave with an angel,” she said, revealing her struggles with raising a child.

Lalal also told the story behind her birth, saying, “Even after receiving a full course of induced labor, the baby didn’t come out, so I ended up having a C-section. Even though he came out ten days earlier than his due date, he weighed 3.7kg. I almost was in big trouble.”

She also revealed the story behind the birth of her much-loved sub-character, “Lee Myung-hwa.” Lalal said, “I was taking a break from broadcasting because I was pregnant, but I just took a walk in front of my house with my husband and uploaded it without subtitles as a joke. But it went much better, so I tried to take a break when I was pregnant, but I was much busier. That’s when I realized. Rather than doing things with greed, putting everything down and doing things in a fun and simple way works well,” drawing attention.

Lalal, who recently opened a pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul and other locations, said about selling goods, “The goods I sold online made hundreds of millions of won, so I donated 20 million won of the money I received after deducting various commissions to single-parent families. I thought of it as love given to me while I was pregnant, and I cried just thinking, ‘It’s hard enough raising two people, so how hard would it be to raise one alone?‘ That’s why I decided to donate,” making listeners feel warm.
