YouTuber Yoo Jun-ho announced the deletion of his channel.

On the 19th, Yoo Jun-ho stated via his YouTube channel, "This channel is scheduled to be deleted on the 20th."

He further explained, "Sony Music Entertainment Japan exercised its copyright rights over the 'Demon Slayer' dubbing videos, and as those videos were deleted, the channel itself has entered the process of closure. Currently, the upload function is also suspended, so I am sharing this situation through a community post."

He added, "It is natural for a copyright holder to exercise their rights, and as a secondary creator, I am in a position to accept that decision. Rather than feeling wronged, I believe I was fortunate to have been able to upload for as long as I did. For 13 years, I created content as a secondary work, and I always knew that this day could come at some point, so when it actually arrived, I accepted it more calmly than I expected."

Yoo Jun-ho also revealed, "In fact, recently I was at a point where I was starting something new as an actor, so I also feel that this might be a natural conclusion in some way. Yoo Jun-ho as a dubber will put a period here, and I will meet you again in a different form."

Full text of Yoo Jun-ho's message.

Hello, this is Yoo Jun-ho.

This channel is scheduled to be deleted on May 20, 2026.

Sony Music Entertainment Japan exercised its copyright rights over the 'Demon Slayer' dubbing videos, and as those videos were deleted, the channel itself has entered the process of closure.

Currently, the upload function is also suspended, so I am sharing this situation through a community post. I sent an email requesting leniency from Sony and tried to contact them through other means, but I could not find a solution within a week.

It is natural for a copyright holder to exercise their rights, and as a secondary creator, I am in a position to accept that decision. Rather than feeling wronged, I believe I was fortunate to have been able to upload for as long as I did.

For 13 years, I created content as a secondary work, and I always knew that this day could come at some point, so when it actually arrived, I accepted it more calmly than I expected.

However, what is still regrettable are the comments attached to each video.

I read them one by one, laughed to myself, and received a lot of strength. It is most regrettable that those comments will disappear along with this channel.

So I spent the past week reading the old comments.

My long-term goal was to surpass one million subscribers with dubbing, and the fact that we have reached 1.12 million still feels unreal to me.

Thank you for listening to my voice until now.

In fact, recently I was at a point where I was starting something new as an actor, moving away from dubbing, so I also feel that this might be a natural conclusion in some way.

Immediately after the channel deletion, all functions related to the account itself may be suspended, so I have not created any new channel that will be transferred.

News regarding the new channel will be shared first on Instagram.

Yoo Jun-ho as a dubber will put a period here, and I will meet you again in a different form.

I would be grateful if you could show interest in my new activities going forward and support me.

From the 6th, 2013, until now, thank you very much.

Yoo Jun-ho
