American broadcaster based in Korea, Tyler Rasch, has suddenly announced the closure of his YouTube channel "Tylerbolkkayo," which has 810,000 subscribers, drawing attention to the reasons behind the decision.

On the 20th, Tyler posted a video on his YouTube channel titled "The Truth Behind the Secret Closed-Door Meetings More Chilling than the Illuminati (Leaked Situation)." After discussing US politics and international affairs, he announced the channel's closure at the end of the video.

He said, "I decided to film this because I wanted to share a slightly heavier topic than usual. Thanks to those who have cherished "Tylerbolkkayo" and visited every week, I was able to create very precious memories."

He continued, "Every beginning has an end. The 'Tylerbolkkayo' you have known until now has come to an end. I will try my best to ensure a beautiful conclusion so that we can end on a high note. Thank you for watching all this time, and I will see you again with an even better version of myself," he said in his final farewell.

The sudden news of the closure led to a flood of comments expressing regret. However, some raised conspiracy-themed speculations.

Because the final video dealt with the relationship between technological power and politics, using private meetings between big tech companies and high-ranking government officials as the subject, some made baseless guesses such as, "Isn't there a political reason?" or "Is he leaving Korea for good?"

However, Tyler did not mention stopping his activities in Korea or any plans to leave the country anywhere in the video. Instead, he hinted at new activities by saying, "I will see you again with an even better version of myself."

In particular, Tyler is a co-founder and co-CEO of the entertainment agency Wave Entertainment, which he established with fellow Belgian broadcaster Julian Quintart. As he continues to be active in broadcasting, lectures, and writing, critics point out that the interpretation circulating online that he might be "leaving Korea" is somewhat excessive.

Born in 1988, Tyler made a name for himself through JTBC's "Non Summit." Since then, he has established himself as a leading foreign broadcaster in Korea, active in various fields including broadcasting, English teaching, writing, and painting.
