Actress Jeon Wonju recently revealed the reason she paused activities on her YouTube channel 'Jeon Wonju In-gong'.

During the video, Samija asked, "I heard you'll be taking a break from YouTube for a while. It was enjoyable, so why stop now?" Samija's husband, Kim Kwansu, also expressed his disappointment, saying, "I've heard it's fun, so I was planning to finally check it out." In response, Jeon Wonju said, "It seems like a lot of people watch YouTube. But I don't really watch it much." She then announced her plans to return, adding, "But I'll be starting again soon."

As for the reason she stopped her channel, Jeon Wonju gestured by making an 'O' shape with her thumb and index finger, saying, "I wanted to increase this (appearance fee), but when they said they would quit, I just agreed to keep things as they were. I also thought about quitting, but then I realized I shouldn't be too particular. Now, I'm just going to try things freely." After hearing this, Kim Kwansu advised, "You don't have to be particular about it anymore."

Previously, the production team behind 'Jeon Wonju In-gong' announced the end of the channel’s operations last month via the YouTube community board. At the time, the staff said, "We are reaching out as the production team who has managed the channel since its launch will no longer be producing 'Jeon Wonju In-gong.' Thanks to all the subscribers and to Jeon Wonju, we enjoyed a happy year. We sincerely thank you for all the love and attention you've shown us."

After the sudden news about the production halt, some expressed concerns that Jeon Wonju might be facing health issues. In response, the staff clarified, "It was simply a matter of the contract between the team and the agency ending. Jeon Wonju is healthy. The channel will be restructured by the agency and is scheduled to start again in the future."
