Article: BJs are becoming girl group celebrities? BJ team 'Spo Girls' even participates in charity work

Source: Sports Chosun via Nate

AfreecaTV stream personalities (called BJs, broadcasting jockey) have created a 'girl group' of sorts that does various events and charity work outside of their normal online broadcasts. The streamers range from import models to CF models and are some of the most popular online stars today.

1. [+750, -37] What a mess, honestly...

2. [+661, -22] Since when were BJs even important enough to get in the news ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

3. [+532, -31] BJs need to be satisfied with earning their money from people outside of the public eye. They better not try to act like their 'careers' are anything to be proud about. They're making their money off of people who in real life don't even get treated like regular human beings by showing aegyo and showing their bodies. They're basically living off of the dirty money they make. Their empty heads are too dumb to contribute anything to a capitalist society except showing their bodies and talking their mouths off on a webcam show with filters and photoshop. How lucky are they to be making money like that? They need to be satisfied with exactly just that and stop acting like they're anything better than what they are. And even if they wanted to become more mainstream, they're too ugly to pull it off. They're all plastic surgery monsters who look better through filtered camera settings than in real life.

4. [+29, -5] Doesn't change the fact that they whore themselves out for 'star balloons' (online currency)

5. [+27, -4] I honestly don't understand people who donate to streamers. Invest that money into yourselves and get a real girlfriend tsk tsk

6. [+22, -3] BJs will never be successful offline because people watch one-person online broadcasts for the amateur feel of it. Once they bring in teams and make it like professional TV, it loses the point of being a small online stream in the first place.

7. [+17, -2] They show off their cleavages and smile for the camera to get 'stars'

8. [+16, -1] They'll never be celebrities. They already have so much drama in their own little world by selling their own bodies to get sponsors and fighting each other for sponsors that they just end up looking like whores. Charity work is great but even normal college students do charity work nowadays to beef up their resumes. Doing a couple charity works doesn't make them 'celebrities'.

9. [+15, -1] Pathetic, honestly... showing off their aegyo and their bodies for 'stars'

10. [+14, -2] What's more pathetic than these streamers are the ones actually funding them ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

11. [+13, -0] BJs are just a collection of no lives... they're all high school graduates who are unemployed and sit at home all day gaming and talking to viewers for some 'stars'. Stay up all night doing that and sleep all day during the day. Their viewers are people with no lives too.. people who can't get actual girlfriends, just come home from work and drool at the girls on their screens and pay them in hopes of getting her to say something to them.

12. [+13, -1] I will never understand why people donate to streamers. The more famous ones don't even consider donations under $10 as anything worthy to mention. You donate a couple dozen bucks and they'll give you an eye smile at best. Why would you waste your money like that? If you spent that money on someone you actually knew in real life, maybe you'd have a chance at getting a girlfriend...

13. [+12, -0] Is it honestly not pathetic living like that? Sit at home all day eating away and then put on something sexy for the stream and do a couple dances while begging for stars... I can't believe we live in a world where BJs are celebrities who actually make a lot of money. Where are the brains of the people spending hundreds on them?

14. [+12, -1] BJs aren't as glamorous as it seems ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ men will swear and say all sorts of trashy things but they still have to beg them for 'stars'. Original content my butt.. I'll at least understand pro gamers who stream their games but what are the rest of them even showing as 'content'?

I don't understand why they are criticizing BJs for living off of their looks. Uhhm, last time I checked, beauty plays an important role in finding employment in SK. I mean, people get surgeries in order to have better job prospects. How is this different from what the BJs are doing?? If anything, knetz should be criticizing their society and not BJs.

Lol, what an idiotic statement. These BJs are successful and able to make a living off of what they do thanks to their capitalist society. Hate the game, not the player hahaha.

what are they doing and who BJs are? someone help me lol

From what I understand, BJs are just like youtubers but on AfreecaTV. Knetz are mad because some of these BJs are very successful and popular online, thanks mainly to their looks which they work to their advantage:

At the end of the day they're making money, while these commenters are just salty.

 

It's not like they're gaining money illegally or forcing people into paying them money, that's the viewers' personal choice.

 

But it's true that they shouldn't be considered celebrities.
