Travel YouTuber and broadcaster Pani Bottle issued an explanation following the backlash over his remarks directed at celebrity YouTubers.

On the 15th, Pani Bottle posted on his Instagram: "I also smell the scent of money and do YouTube. Please stop. It was just for fun."

Previously, on the 12th, Pani Bottle appeared on "The 1st YouTube Symposium," uploaded to the YouTube channel "Channel 15." The video featured PD Na Young-seok, Chimpazman, Kang Min-kyung, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, Carder Garden, Mimiminu, and Eom Ji-yoon.

At the time, Pani Bottle said, "There are only three YouTubers I can recognize," naming Chimpazman, Mimiminu, and himself.

He continued, "Everyone here has achieved a certain level of success in their respective fields, right? I truly recognize that. But we are people who hit a hit from the very base."

He then added, "YouTubers start at third base, and some think they are good at baseball. Celebrities, regardless, are those who came in smelling the scent of money," drawing laughter. Hyoyeon responded, "I smell the scent of money well," causing the audience to burst into laughter.

As these remarks became a topic of discussion, Pani Bottle drew attention by cheerfully explaining, "I also do YouTube while smelling the scent of money."

Meanwhile, travel YouTuber Pani Bottle has 2.57 million subscribers. He has been active in variety shows such as "Crazy Tour," "Death Game," and the "While We're Born, Around the World" series. He is set to appear on MBC's variety show "Nolleo Coaster" on the 21st.
