Mukbang YouTuber Banzz (real name Jeong Man-soo) released his final video before deleting his YouTube channel.
On the afternoon of the 30th, Banzz posted a video titled 'final video' on his YouTube channel, where he bid farewell to his subscribers.
In that video, Banzz opened up by saying, 'This video will be the last video on my channel,' and 'It seems many people do not understand the backstory. While working out, I dreamed of stepping onto the stage of Road FC. Fortunately, an opportunity arose for me to compete. A match was arranged with Hyung-bin Yoon, whom I have liked for a long time, but the condition for this match was that the loser would delete their channel. I accepted that.'
Banzz continued, 'I fought at Road FC 073 on June 28 and lost.' He added, 'As I staked everything, I want to keep this promise. This channel is set to be deleted on July 7, a week later. Since this channel contains everything about me, I feel I need some time to organize it personally. I also need time to inform my existing subscribers, so I have left a little time.'
Banzz said, 'I believe I started YouTube in 2013. I have uploaded all my videos on this channel for 12 years now.' He added, 'For me, this channel was like a diary.' His affection for the channel was significant since it had been running for over 10 years.
Banzz noted, 'This channel, where I shared and communicated my daily life with viewers, is like a diary containing all my everything, but now this channel will be gone; I will return to my original intentions and start over from the beginning.' He expressed his gratitude to the subscribers with a final farewell, saying, 'Thank you.'
Earlier, Banzz lost an exhibition match against Hyung-bin Yoon held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 28th, which led to the deletion of his YouTube channel. In that match, Hyung-bin Yoon achieved victory by TKO just 1 minute and 42 seconds into the first round against Banzz.
As a first-generation mukbang YouTuber, Banzz's YouTube channel has 2.05 million subscribers. Hyung-bin Yoon expressed sympathy for Banzz's decision to delete his channel, saying, 'I've thought about it, and deleting it feels a bit wrong, so I will start uploading my videos from now on.' However, since Banzz made a promise before the match, he intended to delete his channel after organizing it personally.
