YouTube Korea recently celebrated their 3 year anniversary. In this article they interviewed 4 YouTube power users.

Jung Sung-ha is a 14 year old guitar prodigy. One day his dad uploaded a video of him for fun. Now he has over 222 million views and over 300,000 subscribers. He is the only Korean individual YouTube user to have over 200 million views. You can view his channel at www.youtube.com/jwcfree .



Simon and Martina, a Canadian couple, came to Korea to teach in 2008. They started making videos to show their family that they were okay. They have over 33,000 subscribers and over 7 million views. (I subscribe to their channel). They cover a variety of topics about Korea. They have also been on various tv shows in Korea. You can view their channel at: www.youtube.com/simonandmartina .



Sun Hyunwoo started his channel as a way to showcase his breakdancing skills. He got a lot of views and started making more videos. A lot of his videos are about languages. He has a passion for learning languages. He is fluent in English, Japanese, and French. He is also learning other languages. (I subscribe to his channel and I had the pleasure of meeting him last year when I was in Korea). He has over 1 million views and over 11,000 subscribers.
