Science YouTuber Orbit Opens Up About School Bullying Experience
Science YouTuber Orbit, whose real name is Kim Jae-hyuk, has revealed his experience as a victim of school bullying.
On the 24th, the YouTube channel 'Alttalttalhan Chamgyeon' released a video titled 'Stop the Orbit Sound! Orbit Takes Over the Drinking Table with Science.' In the video, Orbit reminisced about his school days, saying, "I studied too much. I was the textbook example of a model student."
Orbit shared, "I was beaten a lot. I was hit so much that I don't know how to hit others." He explained that bullying often occurs without reason, stating, "It usually happens when bullies know that parents won't intervene. They often target isolated kids."
He further explained, "I thought my parents coming to school would break me, so I just endured the bullying." Orbit humorously added, "I must have been annoying. I got a zero in one subject but still ranked first in the school." He continued, "That's why I have no issues with being a school bully. However, I have done some 'science bullying' by giving lengthy explanations beyond what was asked," drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Orbit is a founding member of the YouTube channel 'Unpossible Science,' which boasts 1.36 million subscribers. He gained further recognition by finishing as the runner-up on the 2023 Netflix variety show 'Devil's Plan.'
