This is truly a strong misconception and one of the significant educational mistakes that modern youth have. Particularly, I mention women because they tend to experience this more often. From what I've observed, these individuals typically have low self-esteem, low resilience, and suffer from chronic emptiness, anxiety, and self-discontent. This is something that our mothers' generation needs to be very careful about discussing. Honestly, if a parent is genuinely good, they wouldn't say such things to their children. Who is actually giving helpful advice? Let's see how this unfolds later. Before I continue, I feel like I might need some sugar, so I'm going to eat a plum. The color of the plum is really nice, right? You often ask me what I usually eat, so let me tell you that when it comes to fruits, especially my...

I never buy plums and peaches from the supermarket; I always trade directly with farms. I consider myself a bit of an expert on plums. These plums are the cold plums that come out in the fall. They are very colorful and ripen shyly, like the cheeks of a lovely young woman who could easily get married, turning a bright red. If these are cold plums, then they would be the joy of fall. Anyway, it feels like the natural world is squeezing out its last bit of strength to give us a gift, especially for those who enjoy plums. They are that sweet. So, after eating one, I will talk about the content I've prepared. I tend to have low blood sugar, so I need to eat plums. This cold plum eating broadcast is quite enjoyable. Anyway, Daniel really likes fruit.

Most fruits are eaten directly from the farm. So, what story should we talk about? I haven't really prepared anything in particular for this. It goes without saying that the content on YouTube is in video form, while newsletters deal with various topics in writing. However, these discussions are not universal truths that apply to everyone, nor do I believe they are absolute truths. Of course, what I believe to be true is my own perspective, and it’s an opinion that I emotionally support. In fact, everyone is like that. There is no such thing as a 100% objective, emotion-free rational opinion. That’s not something humans can achieve. Therefore, when we talk about logic, it ultimately means the ability to wrap one's emotionally supported opinion—something I believe is good—in reason and logic. I am the same way. From the outset, I find it difficult to accept facts or opinions that evoke emotional resistance.

It's close to impossible. So, as I mentioned earlier, I have no intention of persuading those who think differently from me. About two years ago, I had that ambition, but now I feel much freer. The reason I run my YouTube channel is that personally, I want to have fun with people who share similar thoughts, and from a business perspective, likes are a form of capital. In this capitalist society, promoting myself greatly helps in generating revenue. I simply want to earn money to fulfill my mission or purpose; it's driven by self-interest. So, it’s entirely up to you whether to accept my beliefs or opinions, and I think that’s quite healthy. However, I hope we always recognize that this may only apply to me and you. Despite that, I feel very...

I encourage you to listen to differing opinions from those who are truly precious to you, and I have a few stories about this. The topic I want to discuss today is one of them. Originally, I intended to share this during the news era, but I decided to do it live instead. 

There was a time when you showed me a video and asked for my opinion. It featured a woman living alone in a rural area; she seems to be quite a famous influencer. However, she wasn't promoting a lifestyle of remaining single. Still, because she doesn't wear much makeup and has a somewhat nonchalant attitude, many people seem to perceive her as a feminist and criticize her. I find it hard to understand why this happens. Why do they react this way? It's really perplexing to me. Of course, I don't even know her name or much about her; I'm just sharing what I remember from that video. The accurate details about her are important.

The story isn't about that, but rather about someone who enjoys spending time alone and aims for a lifestyle that allows them to escape the city and spend time in nature. They have become an influencer with that image, writing books, earning money, and traveling—truly living well. However, there are quite a few people who attack them, and they often respond with statements like I am this happy. But I am confident that this person is genuinely happy. They are not lonely and are living life very happily. They wouldn't lie about that. 

Now, I want to say this, especially to the many female followers that person seems to have: that kind of life appears very happy and not lonely at all. However, you should never hastily try to imitate them. There are many reasons for this, but first and foremost, many people do not fully understand what the influencer's life is really like.

I don't know. So I'll speak very honestly. In this video, I'll refer to all popular figures, including celebrities and YouTubers, as influencers. Personally, I think that only someone like Jesus or Buddha qualifies as an influencer, but for convenience, I'll group all well-known individuals together and call them influencers. Many well-known celebrities or influencers can live happily without actually getting married, and there's a very high probability of that. So, it doesn't really matter if they're a DINK couple. For example, Kim Eana, the lyricist, is a DINK, and even without children, she will likely live very happily. Moreover, there are many celebrities who are nearing 50 and still haven't married. Why is that? The first reason is that influencers themselves benefit from relationships.

It is said that one can obtain the maximum benefits unilaterally, so it is not necessary to have a defined partner. Especially, it is quite manageable to live without a legally defined spouse. When it comes to my YouTube channel, I've only had around 10,000 subscribers for about ten years. Honestly, I don’t really pay attention to the number of subscribers, so I’m not sure. Given that I have this many subscribers, there must be several million people who have seen my face at least once, yet it’s still not a huge channel. Of course, I understand the business structure of influencers a bit better since I help create it, but the value of any influencer cannot be measured solely by their subscriber count. Just because someone has a lot of subscribers doesn’t mean they earn a lot of money. So, having many subscribers does not automatically equate to being financially successful. This is because subscribers and fans are different, and subscribers and customers are also distinct.

So, those who have many fans or customers compared to their subscribers are now the most economically valuable. Besides this, there are many complex ways to assess value. Setting that aside, as a micro-influencer with that number of subscribers, my life is quite simple, and I’ll explain it very intuitively. It might sound a bit shallow, but if I wanted to, I could hang out with different women every day. Of course, I’m talking about in bed, really just for fun. But I don’t put in the effort because I had enough fun before becoming an influencer, so now I’m not particularly interested. Who knows, I might regain interest in the future. There are also times when quite famous celebrities approach me, and when I’m out alone offline, I often receive business cards that are almost like flirtation, along with greetings.

There are really many fans who love me, in addition to those who come to me as women. For example, these fans are incredible. I've seen so many gifts and letters. Recently, there was someone who had been reading the newsletter for a long time and had taken a break from the book club. After successfully getting tickets, they returned and mentioned that the sound forum book club has become so popular that it's not just a matter of paying; it's competitive, like a celebrity concert. They managed to succeed in that competition and, after a few months, came here and gifted me a bottle of wine. I read the letter, and the content mentioned that while passing by, they received the wine and wanted to gift it to me, so they applied for the book club. They signed up for a program worth hundreds of thousands of won just to give me a gift, even going through the competition, because even the time for giving gifts requires purchasing.

I feel like I have to do this because I think of myself as someone who is with you. I was so moved by that letter. I thought, Am I really someone of such value? It made me realize how fortunate I am to be in this world and live so comfortably. So, I placed that letter close to my desk in the office, intending to look at it whenever I feel overwhelmed. This is it. I look at this and feel even more motivated to work hard, and I'm really grateful for that. However, there are actually more people who are grateful to me than you might think. What I just mentioned is only a small part of the attention, respect, and love I receive. So, if I, who have a few small social media channels, feel this way, imagine how it is for truly famous people who are known by almost everyone in the country. This is why there’s a saying that we shouldn't worry about celebrities. The same goes for famous influencers; they also experience hardships.

Then, you might think you won't live well, right? Wake up from that dream. No matter what you do, an average viewer will live well and prosper because they are capable and attractive enough. Not just anyone can gain the favor of thousands of people. So, what I want to say is that influencers and celebrities are different from you. You will live more than twice as ordinarily as you think. Even I am living twenty times more ordinarily than I imagined I would at this age. My dreams were quite big. However, the female influencer I mentioned earlier, who advocates for a single life and a natural lifestyle, will never say this to her followers: You are different from me. I am special, and you are ordinary. Usually, they say the opposite: You are special like me. And they shine brightly.

I will tell you that you will shine because many people like to hear such words. That’s the business side of it. If you say that, who would say no to buying a book? My life is special, but it probably isn’t. If you truly stood out and were an extraordinary being, you should have already been an influencer on that topic. But you aren’t. However, when I say I’m special now, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing. Influencers are just products. People shouldn’t hastily try to imitate a product. You are people, and your presence on the screen is closer to a product, while you are closer to being human. The persona of Daniel is just a commodity. So, in the past, Haemin, the monk—well, he’s not a monk anymore, but Haemin, with his philosophy of complete possession...

I couldn't understand why everyone was so shocked when they went to hell. What were you all expecting? Why would a truly enlightened monk appear on a broadcast? The moment that person appears on screen, they are no longer a monk but an influencer. So, Haemi's essence is that of a businessperson and an influencer, with the monk concept being just a facade. 

On my YouTube channel, my concept is about Daniel's story and naturalistic single life. If you want to be happy, you can become an influencer on that theme. This way, even without getting married or having a partner, you can still receive the love of the public and enjoy all the benefits that come from relationships. So, what you do doesn't really matter. Celebrities, whether male or female, can experience happiness and meaning through various alternatives without forming a family. It’s common for celebrities, whether men or women, to be 50 years old and still not be married or have children.

Why do you think that is? You don't necessarily have to do it. It's not about whether you have a lot of money or not; it's a matter of influence. You need to understand how powerful influence can be. Someone with influence, like a singer, can create a song and release an album that millions of people listen to. If they appear in a movie, hundreds of thousands or even millions will watch and admire them. They can have an impact on people without even having to form a family. Just by working hard tomorrow, they can find immense meaning in their lives. That’s what influence is. It’s a means to feel significant by contributing to countless people while simply doing your work. This is the power of influence in today's world, where social media likes serve as capital in a symbolic capitalism. This is really important. Using my power to contribute to someone else and share something is one of the keys to happiness. There are two types of happiness.

The second type of happiness I experience is the happiness of being present. This is truly about current satisfaction and good feelings. For example, feeling good from eating chocolate or having fun while playing a game is one aspect of happiness. You all have a second type of happiness, which is the happiness of remembering. This may not feel good right now, but it holds significance. That significance comes from the ability to contribute and make a difference using my strengths, as I mentioned earlier. To illustrate, let's compare these two types of happiness to food. If we consider happiness as good food, then delicious food is good, and healthy food is also good. However, just because food is good doesn't mean it has to be sweet or tasty. Happiness is the same; immediate happiness that feels good is one form of happiness, and even those experiences that were painful but later turned out to have meaning are also forms of happiness. Therefore, life is fundamentally about interpretation and reinterpretation.

Continuing on, there is a saying that life is a series of ups and downs. So, what we thought were happy and enjoyable moments back then can impact our future and lead to our current unhappiness. Conversely, experiences that were difficult and painful at the time may have allowed us to achieve our current happiness through overcoming them. Therefore, we should not hastily determine and evaluate the direction of our lives solely based on our immediate feelings of comfort and pleasure. 

Moreover, it is important to recognize that as we age, the significance of happiness derived from the meaning of life and memories becomes increasingly important. This is my personal analysis, but I believe that the low happiness levels among Korean youth stem from a lack of this deeper happiness. In fact, Korea is a place where one can frequently experience good feelings; there are many fun activities available, and you can enjoy yourself even at night. However, in my view, it is challenging to find a sense of meaning in life in South Korea.

It's hard. The environment itself makes me explain in detail why I differentiate happiness. Celebrities can simply feel good while working hard at their jobs, and they can also find meaning in life. Just by using my abilities to sing and act, I can contribute to countless people and create something meaningful. That's why it's easier for celebrities to have all kinds of happiness, both as the experiencing self and the remembering self, simply because they have influence. However, for those who are not celebrities or who do not belong to the top 0.1% of careers, if they do not establish a family, they can attain the first type of happiness—the happiness of the experiencing self—but it becomes very difficult to achieve the second type of happiness, the happiness of the remembering self, which comes from contributing to and making a difference in someone else's life.

I think the real important story starts now. I remember seeing a really interesting post a while ago. Where did I see it? Was it in the comments? No, it was one of those Instagram memes. You know, the one with the card flipping? It might be fabricated, but there was a woman who always made beautiful lunch boxes for her boyfriend. So she was sharing that, and then someone commented. A woman commented, telling the guy not to be so devoted and that successful women live like princesses and should look for someone who truly appreciates them. What does this mean? The person's point is that living a life devoted to others means losing oneself. But this is completely the opposite of what it really is. A person's identity is determined solely by whether or not they have someone to whom they are devoted. So, a person without someone to dedicate themselves to is of no use at all.

You are a useless human being, someone without any identity. There is no true self. Therefore, that person is completely mistaken. The woman who prepares the lunch box has a clear identity; she is someone who truly exists. A human being can only be defined and transformed as a being through entanglement with the external world, that is, with others. So, never make the foolish mistake of giving up the opportunity to contribute and make a difference in someone else's life in order to find your true self. Don't let fleeting trends like being anti-marriage make you feel like a worthless person. This is a solid delusion and one of the major misconceptions instilled in modern youth. Those who have a specific target to contribute to never doubt their identity. Young people, unlike previous generations, are constantly searching for who they truly are because they lack a target for contribution.

Yes, they have no one to contribute to, so they live only for themselves, thinking they are special. They say they want to leave after finding me, wanting to be treated specially by others. They often have a commitment to being single and are very career-oriented. These people typically have low self-esteem, low resilience, and suffer from chronic emptiness, anxiety, and self-discontent. I can confidently say that this is especially true for women. The reason I refer to women is that they tend to experience this more often. If someone aims for a life of devotion and contribution to others rather than seeking only to receive love and live a comfortable life, the levels of anxiety and neurosis will increase as they age. The more women are educated this way, the higher those related statistics will soar. One of the most frustrating things is that some women consider childbirth and parenting to be burdens. So,

It's really unfortunate that they give up. It's truly a foolish thought to give that up. By doing so, they are abandoning the only ability, the only path that can make a woman unique and individual. Being called someone's mother or someone's wife is not something to be ashamed of. It can't be! Just listen to this. This is something our mothers' generation really needs to be careful about. Honestly, if you are a decent parent, you wouldn't tell your child such things. For example, saying things like Don't have children, live your life is something that should typically be filtered out. Everyone starts to regret what they haven't achieved once they reach their fifties. Therefore, our parents' generation, as I explained earlier, missed out on happiness because they couldn't experience it. However, the happiness in terms of memories, the meaning of happiness, is overflowing for them.

That generation had strengths in that, no matter how incapable a person might be, they could live as someone's mother or someone's wife. Even very ordinary people had a sense of identity through their contributions and dedication. But what about us today, in a time where family structures are breaking down and the trend of remaining unmarried is sweeping through? In just 20 years, we may see many single individuals drifting without any identity, consumed by anxiety and emptiness. There will likely be more people trapped in chronic anxiety and a victim mentality in society.

Let me ask those with jobs: Are you irreplaceable at your company? If you were absent, would the company suffer a significant impact? Or do you think there’s a high chance you could become that kind of person in the future? Statistically, it’s probably not 99%. This means that those watching this video...

This means that 99% of us cannot become irreplaceable beings in social matters. Most people are not socially unique or individualistic. However, becoming someone's wife or someone's parent is different; anyone can become irreplaceable. By dedicating oneself to someone else, one can achieve true identity and purpose. For example, my sister really loved and still loves her job. In fact, a few years ago, she was very concerned about marriage and childbirth. But in the end, she got married and had a child, which was the best choice. My sister excelled in her job and was recognized for it, but in my view, she was just a replaceable employee. However, by giving birth to her daughter, my beloved niece, she became a mother that no one can replace.

Because my niece's mother can only be our sister, our sister is merely a replaceable person in society. However, by becoming my niece's mother, our sister was able to become truly unique. But she will be 999% like our sister. That remaining 1% will likely be those who later change their minds and feel the need for a family. 

Um, I want to ask the women about this. This could be a really sensitive topic, but if you exclude the ability to give birth and the maternal love that a mother can provide, you are genuinely special. You can dedicate and contribute to someone else's life in ways other than giving birth and becoming a parent. So, I’m asking if there’s a way for you to become irreplaceable without giving birth and becoming a parent. I believe there isn’t. That’s mostly my opinion. I’m really sorry, but most humans are generally not that special.

I'm not cursing you. I know that it's difficult for you to get married or have children right now. In such challenging situations, messages promoting single life or anti-marriage sentiments are bound to resonate. You see, the low birth rate is primarily due to the fact that men and women don't like each other in this era. Although materialism and secularism have become widespread, the moral standards of society have significantly declined. Many developed countries have experienced this. In this abnormal state, men and women are not in sync with each other. Japan has gone through this as well. Do you know why? Because this leads to both parties becoming ambivalent or men losing their masculinity. As the boundaries between support and upbringing blur, the basic premise of cooperation, which is comparative advantage, disappears. And with the disappearance of comparative advantage...

If there is uncertainty, the reason for cooperation becomes vague, and above all, neither side feels a strong attraction to the other. Therefore, the low birth rate is fundamentally due to the current Korean society where men and women do not find each other appealing. However, the news often features experts who only discuss post-hoc rationalizations and speak nonsense. Given that many people are unable to marry at the moment, messages promoting singlehood resonate. Since they can't marry anyway, a message that encourages the idea that such a life can be cool and acceptable naturally sounds pleasant and appealing; it can be seen as a form of rationalization. The reason I mention this is that the discussions you often hear about marriage, family, and childbirth are mostly not for your benefit. The political sphere and the women's community...

Many experts are not on your side, and even companies are not on our side. Most private enterprises prefer to have more single-person households than families. Why? Because when a large family lives together, ten people can share one TV and one sofa. However, if that family splits into individual households, they will need ten TVs and ten sofas. Selling one sofa becomes selling ten, which is great from a business perspective. Moreover, when families are formed, people tend to think more about the future and consume only what is valuable. But what about those who live alone? They are constantly lured by empty pleasures and distractions, making it easy for companies to take their money. Companies are not on your side. However, after hearing what I said today, you might feel like you are cursing your life and future. You may wonder why I say such things and think I’m a bad person. I understand that. But let’s see what happens later. I’m now going to talk about the game.

Because I like it, who is the one practicing dark magic, and who is injecting the message of anti-family values? Are the marketing messages of some companies that pressure single-person families a curse, or is it just me, expressing the thoughts I've always had and wanted to say? Of course, I also run a company as a businessman, pursuing as much profit as possible, so many videos on my YouTube channel naturally include hooks related to my products and programs. But today’s topic is not about that; it’s something I genuinely want to talk about. Especially when it comes to family, these are all things I want to discuss. Usually, when I speak, I have the keywords neatly organized in order, even when I talk about news. But today, I’ve really just jotted down a few notes. So, who is more pure? Who is truly sharing helpful stories? Who is...

Let's hold off on discussing whether this is unrelated to profit for now. Next, there is a generation in Japan called the Makenai generation, which I understand means abandoned dog. These days, many people adopt abandoned dogs and cats, and I think there will be more of those friends. However, people are not like dogs or cats; they are not as cute, so no one is likely to adopt them. Let me reiterate: you, as individuals, are different from celebrities and lyricist Kim Ina and Iori. They are fundamentally different. Those people have immense influence and talent. When they focus, they can feel tremendous meaning in every moment. They can say they have either killed or saved people through their work. So, don't even compare; they are completely different beings. However, unlike them, they won’t easily tell you that you and I are different.

So, I will definitely tell you that I have a dirty personality, I'm picky, self-righteous, controlling, and make discriminatory remarks, and I feel no guilt about it. I tend to lean more towards negative influences than positive ones. Of course, I'm not like Lee Dong-wook or Gong Yoo; I'm closer to Yong-won. As people age and enter their later years, they ultimately end up looking quite similar. Whether it's you, me, Chairman Lee, or Elon Musk, we are all the same. The saddest part is that the truths and realities that run through life are only realized just before we die. We wish we had more opportunities to be with loved ones, to forgive faster, and to give and share a little more. So, I am trying to get married and have children, and according to statistics and research, it shows...

The difference between people with families and those without becomes enormous as they reach their 70s. Most indicators show this, but when you think about turning 70, it feels like a distant story. I don't believe in my current feelings and emotions. I mean, I’m young and male, and I want to have more fun. However, if I keep living like this, I feel like I will enjoy happiness and pleasure now but will be unhappy for the next 30 years starting from my 70s. 

Moreover, being single is no longer cool; it doesn’t feel hip anymore. Getting married seems to be more hip and really stylish. So what I’m saying is that while I might not get married, I always keep the possibility open. Don’t define yourself by being single. Honestly, it feels more like my own defecation rather than a strong stance. Thank you for listening.
