Emirichu was born Emily Kim under the zodiac sign Virgo on 27 August 1995, in New York City, USA, which makes her 25 years old as of mid-2021. She was born to parents who are Americans originally from South Korea, who moved to the US in the ‘80s. She has not disclosed the name of her mother who was a nurse and worked at a local hospital; her dad was a pastor, and a construction worker by profession.
The social media personality, who is a Christian, revealed that her family was ‘super religious’, and that they would regularly attend church as a family when she was a child.
Shortly after Emirichu was born, her family moved to L.A., California where she was raised together with her siblings, two younger brothers, John Kim (alias Sim) and Josh Kim . One of Emirichu’s brothers, who had nicknamed her “Clumsy Ox” once revealed that the famed illustrator grew up as a very clumsy child who would frequently fall down for no obvious reason.
Surprisingly, Emirichu, who is currently more balanced when she is in high heels as revealed by her brother, never broke a single bone despite the fact that she was unbalanced.
The YouTuber attended an elementary school as a child, where she expressed huge interest in learning Taekwondo. Unfortunately, her dad didn’t tolerate the idea, as he termed the art “boyish”, which forced the now famous YouTuber to explore other interests, and in no time she had found comfort in watching anime and drawing.
Emirichu joined a local high school located in L.A., where she taught herself various skills including how to make animations and drawings using a computer.
She later matriculated to college where she spent her free time working as a camp counselor and a teacher. Emirichu boasts of being a self-taught YouTuber and artist, having joined YouTube in June 2011, revealing that her greatest source of inspiration was Arina Tanemura, who is a Japanese illustrator.
