Blind YouTuber "OneShot Hansol" (Kim Hansol) and PD Jeong Min, who are publicly dating, revealed the behind-the-scenes story of their first meeting.
On the 22nd, a video titled "The story of me going to meet OneShot Hansol" was uploaded to the "Jeong Minimi" channel. PD Jeong Min, who works on the "OneShot Hansol" channel, opened a personal channel.
In his first video, PD Jeong Min recounted the story of his first meeting with OneShot Hansol. He said, "I really went to college very late. There may be people who went later than me, but I think I was quite late compared with others. I went to college at 27. I really wanted to do photography, so I entered the photography department. In a way, I went to college at an older age than others. I kept thinking that. Why am I living this life, what kind of person do I really want to be. As I lived like that, a lot of time had passed. The thought that I was much later than others began to dominate me. My self-esteem dropped a lot and my anxiety really rose. The anxiety that controlled me until graduation had grown even larger. It was scarier. The protective barrier of being a student disappeared," he began.
He continued, "During the period when I was desperately preparing for employment, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep. My insomnia was really severe. I stayed awake all night. So at that time I looked up a lot of motivational videos and lectures on YouTube. Self-help or comforting myself, saying 'it's okay.' That was when I first saw Hansol's channel and it was so new and a huge shock. To be honest, Hansol can't see, right. I thought that. I can see. In that video Hansol was so bright and positive, smiled a lot and was full of energy. You know you shouldn't compare, but I couldn't help comparing. I thought, I can see, so why can't I live like that friend, and that thought hit my head," he revealed.
PD Jeong Min said, "At that time I thought I was so unhappy and was a person lost in thoughts about how to live in this world. But seeing Hansol made me feel sorry for myself. I realized that regardless of the environment you're in, the way you think about and manage your life can make a huge difference in that person's life. And I kept watching the channel with a suspicious eye thinking, 'maybe he is just pretending to be cheerful.' Then I fell into the channel. Watching how Hansol lived was so fun, I wanted to support him and he gave me such good energy that I couldn't help loving the channel. So I watched all the videos on Hansol's channel, and when there was nothing left to watch I watched them again. I even played them while sleeping. I would play Hansol talking and laughing alone and I could fall asleep," he expressed his fandom.
He said, "There is a café that appears all the time on Hansol's channel. It's not that far from my house. So I decided to visit. I brought a gift. Since he went to the café often, I thought he might like drinks, so I bought a tea bag set and went to the café. He was there. Maybe it was already famous that Hansol was there. Many people came up to greet Hansol and Hansol welcomed me warmly and kindly. I went back the next week, and as we kept talking I found that Hansol is really smart and truly intelligent. He memorizes everything. His mental calculation is very fast. There's a calculator in his head. He really remembers routes well. Because he can't see, his spatial perception is very good so he memorizes the routes he has taken. Of course there need to be hints. He gets those hints and memorizes the route. I was really surprised by that. Really, Hansol can't see, right? He is really smart. So unless it's a completely new route, I don't tell him the way. Hansol can almost go by himself and often Hansol is the one who tells the way," he poured out praise for OneShot Hansol.
He continued, "In the videos Hansol played a lot of pranks and seemed tomboyish, but meeting in person I found his thinking is incredibly deep and his values are very admirable. He organizes and plans his life much better than shown in the videos, he plans very well, his energy is good and there is so much to learn from him. So I thought, 'This person won't be someone I can easily visit and meet after some time has passed,' and I went back the next week to get closer. There were absolutely no romantic feelings, I just thought as a person he was very cool, someone I could learn from and emulate, so I visited again. If you meet Hansol in person, you may feel similar to me. Hansol is a very kind person. He seems to belong to the side of being righteous," he emphasized.
He added, "At that time Hansol was looking for a PD. Coincidentally, the PD I was working with had quit, so he was looking for someone new to work with, and I didn't want to miss that opportunity so I strongly appealed that I wanted the job. But Hansol is very suspicious. He worries a lot and is much more cautious than expected. He didn't say he would hire me as PD right away and suggested we talk slowly, so I think I visited almost every week. Once we met, we really talked for four to six hours. As we continued to talk, Hansol said he would hire me as PD, and I finally became a PD," he explained how their relationship continued to the present.
Earlier, on the 21st, OneShot Hansol announced the dating news with PD Jeong Min on his YouTube channel. OneShot Hansol said, "There have been many rumors saying it's business or we are relatives, and each time I thought I should tell this quickly. I hesitated for whatever reason, but if you reveal a relationship people will all know, so I thought it might be better for both of us to have some certainty in the relationship, so I tried recording a public video once or twice and failed. If this video is made public, it means success," explaining the reason for revealing a relationship after four years.
