Korean YouTuber pays Filipino women P500 for their breast milk

Published May 11, 2025 10:35 am

A Korean YouTuber in the Philippines was criticized for making videos of himself paying Filipino women to drink their breast milk. 

Korean media outlet JTBC’s news program “Crime Chief” reported that the Korean YouTuber produces content containing daily life, eating shows (“mukbang”) and travel in the Philippines. 

The report stated that the YouTuber is being criticized by the Korean community in the Philippines for making videos about the breast milk purchased from Filipino women and drinking it. 

In one video, the YouTuber held a live broadcast and met a Filipino mother with a baby and asked her, “You need money?” 

“Gusto mo ako inom? (Do you want me to drink it?),” he asked the mother about her breast milk in a baby bottle while dangling P500. The mother said, “Oo” (“Yes”).” 

He took the breast milk in a bottle while laughing. He gave the P500 to the baby.

In another live broadcast, the YouTuber met a 21-year-old mother holding a baby and told her, “Gatas niyan yung sa mommy. Bigay gatas sa akin, benta sa akin pero bigay P500 (The milk from the mommy. You sell it to me and I’ll give you P500).”

“Kaya mo? (Can you do it?),” he asked her, who replied, “Hindi ko kaya. Wala naman ako marami (I can’t. I don’t have enough [milk]).” 

But her urged her, “Hindi marami. Kaunti lang. Para tulong ako sa iyo. Para sa pambili ng gatas di ba? (Not much. Just a little. I'm here to help you. To buy milk, right?)” 

The mother asked, “Bakit anuhin mo? (What will you do with it?)”

“Inom. Content para tulong ako sa yo (To drink it. Content so I can help you),” he said. 

“Try ko (I’l try),” the mom said and the YouTuber replied, “Try mo. Hintay ako sa yo (You try. I will wait for you).” 

After a while, the mother came back with her breast milk in a bottle. 

“Ngayon, ngayon labas na ngayon? Fresh. Hintay ang pera (Did it come out just now? Wait for the money),” he told her.

He drank the breast milk and gave P500 to the mother and her baby. 

“Crime Chief” reported that the YouTuber uploads videos of “mukbang” featuring young girls and videos of him drinking with Filipino women. 

“This is shameless,” according to a comment by local Koreans in the Philippines. 

The YouTuber defended his breast milk videos, telling the JTBC show, "Some mothers can't work and don't have money to buy formula. The locals really like it.” 

An informant told the show, "Sanctions against this type of content are needed so as not to damage the image of Koreans." 

A panelist of the JTBC show said, “Well, if you really want to help, just give money. What the heck is this?”
