Video of unidentified creature in Seoul's Han River goes viral
SEOUL: A video showing what appears to be an unidentified creature in the Han River has gone viral, according to local media reports on July 30.
The video titled 'A Real Monster Emerges at the Han River in Seoul' was posted July 11 by fishing-themed YouTube channel Jungdam Story. It shows the YouTuber fishing at night near a parking lot by the National Assembly in Yeouido, when he spotted something large and moving in the water.
At first, he thought it was a big fish. Upon closer observation, he appeared alarmed by what he described as a black, thick and long creature approaching him.
'What is that? I'm scared. It's moving toward me,' he said in the video, before abandoning his fishing spot.
He said the creature remained in the same area for about 20 minutes, moving consistently. He estimated it to be six to 10m long and thicker than a human body.
'It looked like there were two of them,' he added. 'I've been fishing for decades, but I've never seen anything like this before.'
The video has sparked thousands of comments online. Some speculated that the creature could be a group of otters, an alligator or even a python.
In 2022, a similar popular video showed an unidentified object of comparable size in the Han River, which was later identified as a buoy. - The Korea Herald/ANN

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural
Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel. Mui purchased the property in 1993 under a company name for HK$20mil (about RM10.86mil) then. The duplex unit, measuring 4,075sq ft, overlooks Ocean Park and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station. It also offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of Shouson Hill. Mui, known as the 'Asian Madonna', died in 2003 at the age of 40 after a long battle with cervical cancer.

(Video) YouTuber Tzuyang Reveals How Much She Makes From Mukbang Videos
If you've opened YouTube before, chances are you've come across mukbang videos, where the content creator consumes large quantities of food in one sitting. One of the biggest creators in the mukbang scene is South Korean YouTuber Tzuyang (쯔양), who currently boasts 12.2 million subscribers on the video-sharing platform. The YouTuber recently appeared on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star', where she shared more about her online career. During the show, the hosts expressed curiosity about Tzuyang's income, given her massive subscriber count and the average viewership for her videos. The content creator then candidly revealed her monthly income, saying she can earn more than KRW100 million (approximately RM306,340) per month. Tzuyang said, 'If you estimate my channel earnings at KRW100 million a month, there were times in the past when I made much more than that.' However, the YouTuber added that her salary fluctuates, meaning she could earn a lot less in other months. Additionally, Tzuyang notes that her actual profit isn't as much as one might expect because most of what she earns goes back to her channel and business. The social media personality said, 'The more that comes in, the more that goes out. I have a lot of employees, and I run a restaurant too, so the food costs are huge. The actual profits aren't as high as people might think.' In the same episode, Tzuyang shared her monthly food expenses, explaining that she spends a lot of money on food in her videos. The 28-year-old also revealed that she once spent KRW3 million (approximately RM9,190) on a single meal. While on the topic of YouTube income, one of the show's hosts, Kim Gura (김구라), also shared his online earnings from when he uploaded golfing videos. The emcee said he could earn around KRW30 million (approximately RM91,900) to KRW40 million (approximately RM122,530) per month. He also noted that his golfing videos have long runtimes but high retention, resulting in millions of views in total. It's also worth noting that Tzuyang has travelled to other countries to film her mukbang videos, showing the lengths she goes to for her YouTube channel. Given the production value of her videos, we'd say her earnings are reasonable. Check out her appearance on 'Radio Star' below: Source: YouTube
