“Mukbang” (eating show) star Tzuyang shared her excitement as she received YouTube’s prestigious Diamond Button, awarded to creators who reached 10 million subscribers. Her main YouTube account currently has 10.9 million subscribers as of Monday.
Tzuyang posted a video titled “10 Million Diamond Button Unboxing” on her vlog channel on Sunday, instead of her main account.
“I didn’t expect to receive the Diamond Button,” she said, revealing the plaque awarded to channels with 10 million subscribers. Alongside the button, she shared a letter from YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, who signed the message encouraging her to continue sharing her creativity globally.
Tzuyang said, “I didn’t think much up to 7 million subscribers, but once I passed 8 million, I started wanting this. Finally, the Diamond Button has arrived.”
She added, “I already posted a 10 million subscriber video on my main channel, but today, I wanted to celebrate by opening the Diamond Button on my vlog channel. It still doesn’t feel real, but I’ll keep working hard.”
Previously, in early July, Tzuyang revealed that she had endured four years of threats and physical abuse from her ex-boyfriend, who had threatened to distribute illicit videos of her.

She also faced intimidation from “cyber wreckers” — YouTubers who profit from exposing the private lives of others. Following her public disclosure, she took a hiatus but resumed her YouTube activities about three weeks ago in early October.
Meanwhile, four cyber wrecker YouTubers, including Gujeyeok and Karacula, were indicted in August and are currently facing trial on charges of blackmail and aiding others to demand money by exploiting Tzuyang’s revelations.
