Kkatamina

**Miyoung Kim** (Korean: 김미영 *Kim Mi-young*), also known by her online alias **kkatamina** or **Mina**, is a Korean-American Twitch streamer and was the "Most subbed female twitch streamer" in 2021.

Miyoung began to gain traction in the OfflineTV and Friends universe in the FTB Revelations Minecraft server, with her roots being a longtime friend of AriaSaki. She became known for her laidback personality and offbeat trolling of her friends. Nowadays, Miyoung can usually be seen playing *Valorant* or an assortment of variety games.

Miyoung is roommates with Fuslie, Valkyrae, Yvonnie, Sykkuno, and new member TinaKitten hence they are called the "Roomies" group.

## Background

Before streaming, Miyoung used to work as finance for a medical center. In her subathon, Miyoung revealed how she would always feel bad handing out patients' bills as healthcare in the US (more specifically, LA) is globally notorious for being costly. Miyoung concluded her flashback by expressing her yearn for the country to eventually adopt free healthcare.

## Early appearances

Miyoung’s friend AriaSaki Introduced her to the streaming world. Although she didn't have the confidence to start streaming, she met OfflineTV and other streamers. In 2018 Miyoung together with Aria appeared on the Lily’s IRL stream.

On December 9, 2019, on Lily's stream *"Decorating Room with Michael Reeves and AriaSaki"*, Miyoung makes an appearance. She was helping with redecorating, but most of the time she was off camera. At one point, she stands in front of the camera and people in chat start asking who she was and Lily says Miyoung and Aria says to call her Mingying.

On December 18, 2019, Aria did a cooking stream together with Miyoung.

Miyoung played League of Legends with Aria and OfflineTV on stream and off stream. According to Aria, she was too shy to talk on stream.

On February 5, 2020, Aria did a cooking stream together with Miyoung and Tina.

## Career

Miyoung's streaming career started because of both AriaSaki and Disguised Toast. Toast gave his laptop to Miyoung and taught her the basics, and Aria emotionally supported her.

On May 7 2020, Miyoung creates her Twitch account. She didn't want her family finding out that she started streaming, so she created her Twitch name "Kkatamina" by combining her League name "**Kata**na" and her other alias "**Mina**". For the first few days of streaming, Miyoung refused to tell her Twitch name to Aria.

In the beginning Miyoung mostly streamed League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. On June 8 2020, Miyoung makes her first guest appearance on Toast's Youtube channel in a video *NEW BROKEN Mech Pilot Sorcerer COMP?! | TFT 10.12 Guide*, which was coincidentally his last TFT video on his main channel.

On June 13 2020, Aria has a photo shoot to promote her new merch featuring Lily, Michael, Sykkuno, Celine and Miyoung. Since she was mostly unknown before this, the photo shoot generated a lot of interest in OTV fandom, with many fans speculating who she was.

On October 2020, in OfflineTV's Youtube video *ROBODOG JOINS OFFLINETV*, another Pomeranian was featured to the right of Temmie at the end of the video, with LilyPichu referring to the mysterious dog as "Temmie's twin." This actually turns out to be Miyoung's pet chicken/Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, Nabi (arguably one of the very first appearances of Nabi on-camera).

Between August and October 2020, Miyoung only streamed 14 hours, mostly playing games with OfflineTV and Friends off stream.

In mid October 2020, Aria moved in to Toast's room at Offline TV house, while he was in Canada. On October 19, Aria does a stream where she colors Celine's hair and Miyoung assist her. On October 22, Aria streams Switch games together with Miyoung, later they are joined by Tina. On November 2, Aria streams a horror game Pacify with Miyoung.

### FTB Revelations MC SMP

In BaboAbe's FTB Revelations Minecraft server, Miyoung was one of the most notable active players. She played on the server on launch day and was likely invited by either Aria, Lily, or Toast. Miyoung became a fan favorite on the server due to her psychopathic nature. She would also respond via an extremely scuffed microphone which enhanced her unhinged energy. Her skin was MC Steve with **:]** face.

Notable examples of Miyoung's interactions on the server:

#### S1

* One of the first instances of her spooky behavior is when Miyoung crouched and turned slowly towards Aria, creeping Aria out.
* Miyoung had a drug/olive addiction and was the prime customer to Sykkuno 's olive dealing.
* Miyoung was part of the "Comfy Cartel," only to secretly steal resources from Toast.
* Miyoung once tried to kill Valkyrae in Rae's own home by digging a hole to drown her in unknown colored fluid supposedly. However, this proved unsuccessful as Sykkuno invaded Miyoung's works while she was gone.
* When Toast detonated his nukes, Miyoung's primary reaction to the end of the server was "o7."

#### S2

* In the early days of S2, Miyoung was usually seen with Ludwig. Their bonding strengthened in the nether, where Miyoung essentially kept company for Ludwig while he captures ghasts to acquire angel rings to scam other players for favors. En route to the nether portal, Miyoung was seen imprisoning herself in blocks (netherrack, wooden planks) to hide from Ludwig. This prompted Ludwig to attempt to kill Miyoung. Tactics included releasing a ghast in front of Miyoung and drowning Miyoung in a lavafall.
* Miyoung was also seen with Sykkuno early in the season. When Sykkuno trolled Miyoung by hitting her, her dog would attack him; however, Miyoung only stopped her dog from attacking Sykkuno after he had afflicted considerable damage.
* Miyoung was known for her intense hatred towards "Jam Guys" (villagers that players can trade for a variety of jams), resulting in her bonding with Michael Reeves. Miyoung worked for Michael in the server, with the notable task of constructing a wall displaying 100 imprisoned Jam Guys.
* Miyoung secretly imprisoned some of Ash's mini-mes, which sparked anger from Ash. Ironically, Ash imprisons all of her mini-mes; Miyoung just encaged several into a confined area.

Throughout both seasons, Miyoung had an affinity to pose next to players' graveyards, intending to accomplish this feat with every player on the server, similarly to Ash wanting to have a mini-me of every player on the server.

### LAMPS House

In around November-December 2020, Miyoung and her dog Nabi moved into Leslie's LAMPS House, residing in TheSushiDragon's old room. Miyoung was known to have odd living conditions, streaming on her mattress with a portion of it removed to make way for her laptop (which was a gift from Scarra).[*citation needed*]

During the first season of the OTV Minecraft server, she borrowed a laptop from Toast to help increase her stream quality while sporting her unique scuffed mic.

Upon moving to the LAMPS House, Miyoung was able to stream more seriously due to her equipment advancements. Leslie gifted Miyoung Edison's old PC setup, ending Miyoung's scuffed mic era. Peter gifted Miyoung another monitor, a gift that Miyoung "accepted, but rejected," since when she tested it out, she found that having more than one monitor would give her a headache. [*citation needed*]

During the duration of the LAMPS House, Leslie mentored Miyoung on becoming an independent and serious streamer and garnering a supportive fanbase. Leslie's tactics were successful, and Miyoung spiked in viewership after moving in. Toast also coached Miyoung on her communication skills with her Twitch chat, resulting in her becoming more engaged with her fanbase.[*citation needed*]

Due to this growth, Miyoung was able to mentor Bretman Rock in his aspiration of becoming a Twitch streamer. While Bretman's first few streams were rough, he improved quickly and now is well-experienced when streaming. [*citation needed*]

In late January 2021, everybody left living in the LAMPS House moved into a new house as the former's 1-year lease was up. Initially, Miyoung's room in the new home was similar to that in the LAMPs House, being undecorated and just a mattress and a PC setup. However, several weeks later, Miyoung switched things up and began to decorate her room. She ditched the cut-out mattress and opted for a futon, similar to Lily's arrangement in the previous OTV house. Nabi now sleeps in a dog tent instead of with Miyoung on the mattress. Miyoung added background aesthetics (such as her well-known MC face and some light-up plastic rose vines) on the wall facing her streaming camera.

### Bloons TD 6

After OTV MineCraft, Miyoung started to venture into Bloons TD 6 as her new niche game around February 2021. Miyoung was known for her hatred of "Ben Jammin," a special monkey that Sykkuno liked using to gain revenue for purchasing banks and power-ups, a strategy that required Miyoung to carry the few beginning rounds on her own.

One time Miyoung and Sykkuno made a bet while playing Bloons that if he yielded a higher pop count than her, she would "have to say Ben Jammin in the House for the rest of your life," but if Miyoung yielded a higher pop count than Sykkuno, he wouldn't be able to use Ben Jammin for the rest of the day. Ultimately, Sykkuno won, and Miyoung announced, "Ben Jammin is in the house!" whenever Sykkuno summoned Ben Jammin.

After this incident, many fans referred to Miyoung's hatred towards Ben Jammin as "the 5 stages of grief". Even though Miyoung's hatred is not extreme as of now—sometimes even summoning Ben Jammin herself (aka the 5th stage)—she tends to be in denial whenever Sykkuno, Leslie, or hJune hyped up Ben Jammin's summoning.

Besides the Ben Jammin trilogy, Bloons strengthened Miyoung's bonds with Bretman Rock and hJune; both are relatively new in the OTV universe.

### Music

Around March 2021, Brodin created a song consisting of just Miyoung's voice clips and Nabi's bawks "Big tiddies, small tiddies, BAWK BAWK." Miyoung reacted to the song in shock and dismay.

After playing in the Hafu Lobbies during her 24-hour stream, Miyoung's Twitch chat told her to listen to Steven Suptic's music. Upon doing so, Miyoung became obsessed with the works of SUGR?, blasting his songs (especially "Oh, Death") throughout the rest of her stream.

During IRL stream on March 28 2022 with Valkyrae, Toast and Sykkuno, Miyoung performed a freestyle "Get Some Coffee".

Miyoung was features in Bella Poarch's music video "Dolls".

### OTV SMP

In the 2021 OTV SMP, Miyoung showed a different character from the FTB server. Formerly a psychopath, Miyoung became one of the grinders on the server, frequently participating in explorations with Ryan Higa. Miyoung usually did not hang out in the town square as often as the other players but occasionally strolls around the town square to inspect players' progress.

Miyoung is 1 of 40 initial roster players and 1 of 39 players on the server that played on the FTB Revelations server.

## Personal Life

Miyoung is very private about personal details. When her friends (mainly Peter and Toast) leak any piece of her information, she often reacts with embarrassment and/or dismay. However, Miyoung began to reveal details of her early life to her viewers during her subathon.

Miyoung was known to be a rebellious child during her childhood, stemming from the fact her father was an education geek and wanted his children to study advanced-level subjects when they were still young (to this day, Miyoung's father would watch university lectures and purchase subject textbooks for fun). Miyoung reflects her rebellious attitude with her being "a spoiled child" as even though her fits against studying managed to persuade her parents from insisting further, they still supported her. Miyoung's sister, Ann, was the polar opposite of her, as she would often obey her parents' commands. Additionally, Miyoung's family "never ate together except on holidays," and whenever Miyoung ate within the same time as her parents did, she would take her food and run back to her room.

Aria was Miyoung's first friend in OTV and Friends. They have since then become each others' right-hand woman. Miyoung credits Aria for introducing her to everyone in OTV and Friends.

Miyoung lived with Leslie, Peter, and Shiphtur in the Fuslie House. However, on December 15, 2021, she announced she would be moving in with Valkyrae. She has since moved in with her on January 5, 2022.

On 30th September, 2021 Miyoung's older sister Ann visited her on stream.

On Day 4 of her subathon, Miyoung's cousin and his boyfriend visited her, and the couple took over her stream during their time. This makes Miyoung one of the first confirmed people in OTV and Friends to have extended family in the LGBTQ+ community.

On October 11, 2021, Miyoung revealed on Instagram she adopted a cat (Siri).

On November 18, 2021, Miyoung has broken a a record on her subathon for 'Most subbed female streamer' on Twitch.
