Meet Hey Jini: Conquering the Kids’ World and Beyond!
From a YouTube Star to Chinese Sensation — Her Secret to Success
Have you ever wondered what it takes for a content creator to break into an entirely new market and succeed? Nowadays, expanding one’s reach beyond the local market can be a challenge. One creator who has navigated this journey with amazing results is Hey Jini, a South Korean YouTuber and children’s television host. Her story, powered by our innovative SaaS platform, adobaro, showcases the immense opportunities awaiting content creators in the Chinese market.
BTS Are Not the Only South Korean Superstars
Hey Jini, known for her engaging storytelling and educational content, first captured the audience’s hearts as 캐리 언니 (Carrie Unnie). Her charisma quickly made her stand out, leading her to launch her now-famous 헤이지니 (Hey Jini) YouTube channel in 2017. In a short period of time, Hey Jini’s channel became the top kids’ channel in South Korea, a remarkable achievement in a highly competitive space. Despite her success on YouTube, she aspired for more. Recognizing the vast potential of the Chinese digital market, she decided to expand her horizons and launch channels on Chinese platforms. This decision marked a new chapter in her journey, facilitated by us at adobaro, where we specialize in helping content creators enter and distribute content on Chinese platforms through our AI-based solution, which include content optimization, localization, and simultaneous distribution, to name a few.
Through adobaro, Hey Jini successfully opened channels on two major Chinese platforms: Xigua Video and iQIYI. Her swift rise in popularity on these platforms highlights the effectiveness of our strategies at adobaro.
Skyrocketing on Chinese Platforms
Hey Jini’s decision to enter the Chinese market paid off handsomely. On Xigua Video, a platform under ByteDance she quickly gathered over 2.8 million subscribers.

However, her success on this platform demonstrates that quality content can transcend demographic boundaries.
Similarly, on iQIYI, another leading Chinese video platform, the content creator garnered more than 1.2 million subscribers. Her ability to capture the hearts of viewers underscores the universal appeal of her content and the critical role of effective localization. Since expanding to Chinese platforms, she has become an even bigger role model in the kids’ kids’ category, surpassing her initial success on YouTube.
Don’t Tell Anyone But… The Key is in Localization!
Hey Jini’s success in China did not happen by chance. Of course, her content is engaging and fun, and she’s a true entertainer, but behind every video lies a strategic approach to localization and adaptation. By tailoring her content to meet the preferences and expectations of Chinese audiences, she ensured that her videos were not only understood but also enjoyed by viewers.
