Oh Ha-young of Apink Returns to YouTube After 3 Years with 'OFFICIAL HAYOUNG'
Oh Ha-young from the group Apink is making her comeback to YouTube after a three-year hiatus with her new channel, 'OFFICIAL HAYOUNG.'
The channel, set to launch on the 21st at 6 PM, will showcase Oh Ha-young's genuine passion for football, cementing her reputation as a renowned 'soccer enthusiast' among K-pop idols.
Oh Ha-young, a long-time fan of Manchester United, demonstrates an impressive depth of knowledge, not only about the English Premier League but also the Korean K League, knowing players' names and performance details.
This new venture aims to go beyond typical football content. It will blend her love for the sport with lifestyle elements, creating an 'entertainment-style football show.' Her aspiration is to make football accessible and enjoyable for viewers, especially women, who may feel intimidated by the sport.
"As I'm restarting after three years, I want to connect more closely with fans through stories about the sport I truly love," Oh Ha-young expressed her heartfelt desire for the channel's return. The first episode promises an exciting start, featuring her enthusiastic introduction and witty commentary as she celebrates the channel's relaunch, aiming to deliver positive energy.
She further elaborated, "I want to create a channel where women can naturally enjoy football, covering everything from how to attend matches, the rules, and player stories. I plan to brand it so that even new targets (newbies) who haven't been interested in football can find it engaging." She also expressed her eagerness to interact with K League fans and attend matches more frequently.
The channel is produced by CEO Kim Jin-soo of Wonis.Korea, known for creating diverse AI content including the virtual human 'ROZY.' The production promises sophisticated direction and technology to vividly bring Oh Ha-young's 'soccer-fan' world to life.
Fans are reacting enthusiastically, with comments like 'Ha-young's YouTube is finally back!', 'It's so great to see her genuine passion for football,' and 'I think I can finally understand football thanks to this channel!'
