Lee Mal-nyeon, who is enjoying his second peak as a ‘webtoon author → silencer YouTuber’, admitted to ‘burning out’ and announced that personal broadcasting would be suspended.

Webtoon writer and YouTuber Lee Mal-nyeon, who runs the YouTube channel ‘Calm Man’, announced that he would be taking a break from personal broadcasting for three weeks starting this Thursday.

On the 5th, through a notice on his ‘Chim Ha-ha’ fan website, Lee Mal-nyeon announced the news, “I didn’t take a break because I did my outside schedule as usual, but I took a break from personal broadcasting for 3 weeks. ” Then, although he is not physically exhausted, he also talks in detail about his recent condition, where he feels mentally going back and forth.

Lee Mal-nyeon said, “Nowadays, (people) are not expected to react to my actions.” They say if you talk about it while you’re immersed in it, they’ll get angry.”

In his later years, he felt that his emotional expression was not trusted after he felt that his intentions could not be communicated to others. He said, “As a result, whenever I do something, I apply the correction value and act on my own.”

Calm Man, who stopped publishing blogs after 2018, has recently been active as a YouTuber, and his channel has a whopping 2.09 million subscribers. He said on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’, which aired in the past, “I wake up at 11:00 am and turn on the broadcast at 1:00 pm. Then, until it’s almost 7:00 pm, the broadcast goes on for about 6 hours.”
