Japanese top model and wife of Choo Sung-hoon, Yano Shiho, is experiencing explosive reactions as her YouTube channel surpassed 200,000 subscribers in just six days after its launch.

From her very first video, she captivated viewers with her bold concept and honest commentary. A preview video with the provocative caption, "Decided to appear on algorithms because Choo Sung-hoon wasn't calling me," made an intense start. Her husband Choo Sung-hoon and daughter Choo Sarang also appeared to show their support. Her main content, which revealed her unadorned daily life with an 'ajumma' concept, quickly garnered a fandom.

The representative video, 'Choo Sung-hoon's Owner Invites You to See the Real House,' exceeded 2.4 million views as of the 29th, showing a rapid upward trend. Netizens poured in enthusiastic comments such as, "Her hearty laugh is addictive," and "She's already surpassing Choo Sung-hoon."

Recently, Yano Shiho also drew attention by directly addressing Choo Sung-hoon's past remarks about the '2 trillion won fortune rumor.' Choo Sung-hoon had previously mentioned on a broadcast, "My wife can buy a whole convenience store," to which Yano Shiho humorously confessed, "No, I don't spend much. Money doesn't accumulate because my husband spends it right away." She carefully dismissed the wealth rumors, adding, "We manage our money separately, so I don't know how much each of us earns."

Amidst this atmosphere, Yano Shiho released a new video titled 'Yano Shiho's Fake Life (A Day of Showing Off for YouTube~♥),' once again sparking discussion with her honesty.

In the video, she showed herself enjoying a leisurely morning at 7 AM in a meticulously tidy house, admitting with a laugh, "Actually, I woke up 10 minutes earlier than usual. I tidied up because the production team was coming." When the crew asked if she always woke up like this, she frankly confessed, "No. I always wake up just before I have to leave." Choo Sarang added to the laughter by revealing her mother's usual busy morning routine, saying, "Mom, you always leave at the last minute."

Yano Shiho looked around her organized home and commented, "I usually don't have time to sit around like this. It feels too much like a fake YouTube video," showing her own unfamiliarity with the staged scene.

Previously, an unkempt house was revealed on Choo Sung-hoon's YouTube channel, making this 'clean version' a point of comparison. Netizens commented, "It's funny how different it is from Choo Sung-hoon's house reveal," and "Everyone's house is the same," showcasing various reactions.

Born in 1976, making her 49 this year, Yano Shiho married Choo Sung-hoon in 2009 and welcomed daughter Choo Sarang in 2011. Her husband Choo Sung-hoon is also maintaining his popularity with his YouTube channel 'Ajosshi,' which has surpassed 2 million subscribers.

Contrary to her image as a glamorous former model, Yano Shiho is gaining public affection by sharing her relatable flaws and honesty, bringing both empathy and laughter. Despite the '2 trillion won fortune' speculation, she admits that a "fake, YouTube-style life feels awkward," charming the public with her unpretentious appeal.

Netizens are cheering on her new venture, commenting, "Yano Shiho's honest side is so charming," "It's nice to see her banter with Choo Sung-hoon," and "I hope her YouTube channel becomes so successful that the 2 trillion won fortune rumor actually comes true."
