Banzz, a promise to delete his YouTube channel… Why hasn't he done it right away? “July 7, a time to return to the original intention”
Banzz, a first-generation 'Mukbang YouTuber,' has officially decided to delete his YouTube channel 'Banzz' after accumulating 2.05 million subscribers. The reason for shutting down his channel is simple: he lost a match.
Banzz lost by TKO to Yoon Hyung-bin on the 28th at an event match held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, just 1 minute and 42 seconds into the first round. This match was not just a competition but a 'promise battle' that hinged on his YouTube channel. The loser had to promise to delete their YouTube channel.
Immediately after Banzz's defeat, Yoon Hyung-bin attempted to modify the promise by saying, “Rather than deletion, why not upload my video to your channel?” However, Banzz firmly rejected this. With the attitude of 'A promise is a promise,' he decided to eliminate the channel that contained everything about him.
However, some fans responded by questioning, “Why is the channel still alive?” In response, Banzz directly explained the reason through the YouTube community and his final video. He shared, “I needed about a week for personal organization. This channel has been my life’s journal. Since 2013, it has contained everything about me, so I couldn't just delete it without any preparation.”
Banzz plans to officially execute the channel deletion on July 7. In the video, he added, “There are many people who don’t know the circumstances. The ROAD FC stage is where I dreamed of being when I started training. The condition for fulfilling that dream was the 'channel deletion promise.' I accepted that with everything on the line.” He continued, “Now this channel will disappear, but I intend to return to my original intention and try for a new beginning,” expressing a heartfelt farewell to his fans.
Banzz has established himself as a representative of 'clean Mukbang' and has gained significant popularity as a first-generation Mukbang YouTuber. Through his broadcast activities and YouTube content, he has connected with numerous fans. His unusual choice to delete the channel brings disappointment to many while drawing renewed attention for his sense of responsibility and sincerity.
Banzz, who is keeping the extreme promise of 'deleting his YouTube channel' and returning to his original intention, is drawing interest in how he will reappear before the public and what his future steps will be.
