After a TKO loss to Yoon Hyung-bin, YouTuber Ban-zu (real name Jeong Man-su) announced plans to delete his channel, which he has maintained for 12 years, with 2.05 million subscribers.
The channel, which has been maintained for 12 years, has 2.05 million subscribers. The first-generation mukbang YouTuber Ban-zu (real name Jeong Man-su) will personally press the 'delete' button. This is a result of his loss in an exhibition match against comedian Yoon Hyung-bin. On the other hand, Yoon Hyung-bin has also declared his retirement, drawing attention.
On the 28th, during a special match of 'Gupne Road FC 073' held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, a surprise fighting match took place between comedian Yoon Hyung-bin and YouTuber Ban-zu. They entered the ring with the bold bet that the loser would delete their YouTube channel. The result was a TKO victory for Yoon Hyung-bin at 1 minute and 34 seconds into the first round.
In the early stages of the match, the two were probing each other with low kicks. However, the moment Ban-zu exposed an opening, Yoon Hyung-bin seized the opportunity with a fierce right hook. Following that, a barrage of ground-and-pound strikes ensued, and the referee declared the match stopped.
After the match, Ban-zu posted on his YouTube community, saying, "I will keep my promise," and wrote, "I will upload the last video tomorrow." Yoon Hyung-bin jokingly responded, "Thinking about it, deleting it seems a bit much; from now on, I'll just upload my videos on Ban-zu's channel." However, Ban-zu expressed a firm determination.
The Ban-zu channel, which has been operated since 2013 for about 12 years, currently boasts 2.05 million subscribers and is regarded as a giant channel. Despite being a big eater, it gained significant popularity for its clean mukbang, symbolizing the first generation of mukbang creators. It represents his life and everything he had to give up. He is expected to convey his true feelings in the last video.
His choice to voluntarily let go of a channel he staked his identity and life on is attracting attention, while internet users are expressing shock, saying, "Wow, he really is deleting it… Ban-zu is amazing," "He finishes his defeat beautifully," and "To wrap up a 12-year channel with just one promise is truly respect." Some fans reacted, saying, "Can't he just change the name and do it again?" and "It's such a pity for a channel filled with so many memories."
Meanwhile, Yoon Hyung-bin has declared his retirement from fighting after this match, and fans are curious about what path Ban-zu will take after his last video.
