YouTuber Banzz Deletes 2.05M-Subscriber Channel After Losing Bet

YouTuber Banzz, who once boasted 2.05 million subscribers, has deleted his original channel to honor a promise and is embarking on a fresh start.

On the 7th, Banzz launched a new YouTube channel, 'Banzz BANZZ', and uploaded a video titled 'I Deleted the 2.05 Million Banzz Channel'.

In the video, Banzz solemnly touches a boxing glove hanging in his room before sitting at his computer to personally proceed with the channel deletion process. However, the production team suggested, "Before deleting the channel, shouldn't you watch the first video you uploaded one last time? It's a video you won't be able to see again," encouraging Banzz to revisit the final memories before deletion.

Banzz then reviewed his first video, uploaded on November 26, 2013, reminding him of the long-standing memories associated with the channel.



Watching an old video of himself eating jumbo ramen, Banzz reminisced, "Back then, I didn't have any (company) staff, so I had to ask the (restaurant) staff to help film the video. I was trembling while eating. It was my first challenge and my first time filming," recalling the early days.

Reflecting on the decision to delete a channel he maintained for over a decade, Banzz expressed, "It feels like the end of a long journey. It's so disappointing. It's indescribable. It's a feeling that's hard to put into words," before proceeding to delete the channel himself.



Afterward, Banzz checked YouTube on his phone and sighed at the sight of the missing channel. When asked by the production team about his feelings, he said, "Is this what it feels like to say goodbye? Is this what it's like to let go of someone you love? I feel so empty inside," showing an emotional response.

Previously, Banzz faced off against Yoon Hyung-bin at the 'Goobne Road FC073' event held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 28th of last month, where he lost by TKO in 1 minute and 42 seconds of the first round. True to his word, Banzz had vowed to delete his channel if he lost — and he did.
