A 45-second clip from a trading event in Seoul pushed South Korean livestream trader Jadoodoo back into the spotlight on Sept. 30 after it spread across X.
In the video, Jadoodoo stares at her screen, opens her mouth in a scream, jumps out of her chair, and starts punching the air as a green candle moves in her favor. The trading interface shown in the clip displayed a 25x long in NEAR perpetual futures. A one-minute candle lifted the price from around $5.29 to about $5.36-$5.37, leaving her unrealized profit in first place during the session.
The X post that circulated the clip was published by Martinez on Sept. 30. It described her as going "absolutely crazy on stage" after locking in a $40,000 PnL while longing NEAR. After the initial outburst, she sat back down, put her feet on the desk, and kept trading, extending the performance that many viewers now associate with her brand.
Seoul event tied to Korea Blockchain Week
The footage came from Frontier Traders: Seoul Showdown. The event page listed the schedule as 8 p.m. to midnight Seoul time on Sept. 30 in Gangnam. It was described as part of Korea Blockchain Week side events, and Solana Foundation was named among the organizers.
The format called for eight traders to enter the competition, with one remaining after three rounds of live trading. The Seoul stop was part of Frontier Traders Season 1, which runs from Sept. 21 to Nov. 7. The total reward pool for the season was listed at more than $1 million. The overall winner could choose either a Porsche 911 GT3 RS or $250,000. For the Seoul event itself, the official website listed a ticket to London as the prize.
In a profile released the day before the event, organizers described Jadoodoo as one of South Korea’s largest trading creators and said 231,000 people watch her trade on YouTube every day.
A 2023 breakdown clip made her widely recognizable
Many viewers may not know the Frontier Traders competition, but they have likely seen at least one of Jadoodoo’s emotional trading clips. The best-known one dates to Oct. 26, 2023. According to the source text, 20 million won in capital fell to just 3 million won in a short period. She cried on camera, drooled, swore, and eventually smashed her monitor.
The clip spread widely in online communities. Some commenters wrote that crypto trading is "that terrifying," while others described Jadoodoo’s on-camera reaction as a form of "performance art" that exposed "her true self and human nature."
By Oct. 1, 2026, her YouTube channel had reached 232,000 subscribers and roughly 159 million total views. The source said the channel was at around 50,000 to 60,000 subscribers when the program first aired. Third-party statistics from Playboard listed 1,346 livestreams in total and an average of six streams a week. Her channel schedule, as described in the source, is highly fixed: weekday evening Bitcoin futures livestreams from Monday through Friday.
Her appeal lies less in the balance sheet than in the reaction
The report argues that what made Jadoodoo memorable was not the numbers in the account, but the fact that she shows her reactions almost without any filter. When she loses, she cries on camera and smashes a screen. When she wins, she screams, throws punches, and leans fully into the moment.
That is why the source frames her broadcasts less as standard trading content and more as something close to performance art. Plenty of streamers build audiences by giving trade calls, posting account statements, or walking through technical analysis. Jadoodoo stands out because the emotional swing is part of the show.
Background details cited by local media
The source identified Jadoodoo (자두두) as Park Jin-hee, born in 1996. Citing a Jan. 2, 2024 report from TopStarNews, it said she was originally an office worker who regularly saved part of her salary every month. She first invested 1 million to 2 million won. At age 25, she put in 10 million won and quickly grew that into a scale measured in hundreds of millions of won, before going through repeated cycles of gains and losses throughout her twenties.
That report also quoted her on why she entered the market: "Three years ago, my father was diagnosed with cancer, and my family’s finances declined with it." It added that her parents had nearly died in a medical accident, and that she wanted to become "a daughter who can protect her parents."
Turning screen-watching into a business
From the 2023 monitor-smashing clip to the Seoul stage in 2026, Jadoodoo’s path is now easy to trace. What she puts on camera is not only the trade itself, but the immediate emotional response to every move on the chart.
That has become one of the clearest reasons she continues to draw attention in crypto circles. For many people watching, the attraction is not limited to profit and loss. It is also the question of how she will react when the next candle hits.
