Kwak Tube (34, real name Kwak Jun-bin) announced the rules for producing "super large" YouTuber-like content with 2.15 million subscribers.

Kwak Tube is a "majority" broadcaster who has continued three programs, including EBS1's "Kwak Jun-bin's World Knight's Restaurant," PD Kim Tae-ho's ENA "World Travel of the Earth Devil," and MBN and Channel S "Jeon Hyun-moo Plan." To point out the secret of its unrivaled move, it has a firm identity as a travel YouTuber.

Kwak Tube, who has been active in the entertainment industry but has steadfastly defended the top area by working hard on operating YouTube channels. "For me, YouTube is the top priority," he said. I kept the upload once a week even when I filmed six fixed programs at the same time. It was really hard, but I tried to keep it somehow. I'm the type to do a lot of things, so you don't have to worry about YouTube operations," he said.

He then said, "I'm from the street," adding, "I think the reason why I'm loved as a broadcaster is because it's a natural view that doesn't look like a celebrity and a reaction from the general public." That's why I try not to lose my raw charm as a YouTuber," he stressed.

Kwak Tube said, "I have an editor, but I'm still in charge of filming, editing, and subtitles. No matter how large the number of subscribers is, YouTubers listen to the sound of "retirement" in one video. As a result, they are making it precious one by one and raising it with a cool head. There are a lot of videos that have been discarded because they carefully select their own fun," he said.

When asked about the standard of fun for subscribers, he said, "In the order of popular comments, if there are many favorable reviews, not likes, I think it is a well-made video. I'm checking every video."

If there is anything different about the "Kwak Tube" channel, the only thing that has changed is that the range of performers has been widely extended to celebrities. It also contained Kwak Tube's own iron rules, allowing him to maintain his own color.

Kwak Tube said, "There are only two standards for celebrity appearances. The first is that I should not be accompanied by a celebrity who I have always liked or who has a story with me, and the second is that I should not be accompanied by a manager. If naturalness and liveliness disappear, it is no different from broadcasting, so I am thoroughly walking around without a manager with a single camera. I've never invited a celebrity before, and I told you this iron rule when you said you wanted to appear. Those who responded to this came out," he said.

The agency SM C&C is also fully supportive of these iron rules. Kwak Tube said, "The agency only helps the broadcasting side, and the operation of YouTube is left to a laissez-faire type. That part fit well, so I went in. When I signed the contract, he said he would respect YouTube because I know it best. So when I shoot YouTube, of course, I go around alone," he said.

Kwak Tube said, "I will concentrate on parenting for the time being due to the birth of my wife soon, but until last year, I traveled for seven months out of the year. YouTubers do it purely because it's fun. I wonder how I found this job, and I think it's a 'vocation'," he said, showing off his extraordinary affection.
