Popular mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang, who boasts 13.2 million subscribers, shared the news that her friend and manager of 10 years, Subin, is leaving her position.

In a YouTube vlog video released on the 28th, Tzuyang captured her final shoot with Subin. The video began with a meal at a restaurant famously difficult to get a reservation at, followed by a second stop.

When asked, "How will you get by?", Subin did not reveal specific future plans, saying, "If I open a YouTube channel, I feel like comments will pop up saying, 'So that's why she quit.' I don't want to get stressed out by things like that."

Having been friends through hard times and working together in the relationship of manager and creator for the past three years, the two showed close chemistry.

Subin said, "We aren't quitting because we fought. There are a lot of people suspecting that." Tzuyang also showed her mixed emotions, shedding tears as she said, "Rather than just being a manager, I want you to do what you want to do, but at the same time, a part of me wants you to stay by my side."

This is not the first time the two's bond has been made public. Back in May, they appeared together on MBC's "The Manager" to reveal their faces, and at the time, their 10-year friendship was highlighted as they visited Subin's studio apartment for a "room corner mukbang."

Toward the end of the video, Tzuyang shared an official statement through subtitles. She stated, "Thank you so much for loving the Tzuyang Park Garden channel that I shared with Subin until now," adding, "We have decided to walk our separate paths while cheering for each other, cherishing the happy memories of our three years together." She continued, "I ask that everyone join me in cheering for Subin's newly starting future so that she is always happy."

The vlog channel will go on a temporary hiatus starting today.
