Dex's entertainment form is crazy, 'Solo Hell' Megi-nam, 'Taegye Round' Kian 84's partner

YouTuber Dex's momentum is unusual. Beyond YouTube, broadcasters are also active in OTT, revealing a unique presence. It is worth aiming for an award at the MBC Entertainment Awards following the Blue Dragon Series Awards Male Entertainer nomination.

Dex, who appeared as a catfish man in the Netflix original 'Solo Hell 2' and took a strong eye print. In response, YouTube, broadcasters, and other places reached out to Dex. Dex, who has been active without a break, has recently emerged as a hot star.

Dex definitely paddles when the water comes in. In particular, it is playing a significant role in the popularity of MBC's 'Around the World as I Was Born' (hereinafter referred to as 'Around the World 2'), which is currently being aired.

'Taegye 2' emerged as a weekend entertainment powerhouse after only two episodes aired. It recorded the highest viewership rating of 7.8% and took first place in the 2049 viewer ratings. The 3rd episode, which aired on the 25th, also maintained a 5% rating and became an MBC entertainment show following 'I Live Alone'.

Dex is adding to the fun of the program by showing off a unique chemistry with Gian 84. It is said that the travel attitude of those who are not afraid of challenges is providing vicarious satisfaction to viewers. He fell into the Ganges River, had a swimming match with locals, and wrestled with Indian players, showing off his free spirit. Gian 84's eccentricity and raw Dex were enough to capture the hearts of viewers.

The charm of Dex was revealed even more when negotiating the price. Dex and Gian 84, who received a massage unexpectedly, had to give a tip, but Gian 84 gave money even to a massage therapist who did not provide the service, revealing a "hogu" side. On the other hand, when the massage therapists asked for more money, Dex quickly refused, saying that it was enough. It was a part that gave coolness like 'cider' to viewers who felt somewhat frustrated with Gian 84's 'resilience'.

In Wave's original 'Blood Game' series, which was released prior to 'Thailand 2', you can get a glimpse of 'Boy in Luv' Dex. Dex, who was born in UDT and boasted a competitive spirit and down-to-earth physicality, won the runner-up in 'Blood Game 2'. Through this, he was nominated for the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards Male Entertainer Award.

JTBC's 'Smiling President', which first aired on the 25th, even showed a mukbang. Appearing as a celebrity evaluation team that evaluates the food of Lee Kyung-gyu, Park Na-rae, and Kang Yul, Dex ate deliciously and made his mouth water with a neat reaction. Netizens responded with comments such as "Spit on meat rice bowl that Dex also acknowledged" and "Seeing Dex eating well, the public taste is guaranteed without any likes or dislikes."

He did not let go of his main job, YouTube. After 'Solo Hell 2', the YouTube channel is showing various contents after the so-called 'rice cake'. YouTube subscribers have exceeded 550,000, and many videos have exceeded 1 million views. It also appears frequently on other channels such as Jang Seong-gyu's 'Eat Breakfast', 'Cocoon's Ears Shining Night', and 'Dangsan Station Exit 3'. He also revealed his ability as an MC through 'Dex's cold interview'.

Active activities will continue in the future. As a guest in Teabing's original 'Witch Hunt 2023', she will also appear in Netflix's entertainment 'Zombie Bus'. Attention is focusing on whether 'YouTuber' Dex, who has reached his heyday, can be seen at the public TV entertainment awards.
