Pani Bottle, I wasted money

Travel YouTuber Panibottle honestly confessed his profits.

Panibottle, a travel YouTuber and broadcaster with 2.16 million subscribers and 498 million cumulative views, appeared on tvN's entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 1st.

On this day, Panibottle said, “I worked for about a year and interned at a boiler company for three months before thinking about becoming a full-time employee. However, the work culture was a bit rigid, so I couldn't wear a suit and eat alone. I said, ‘I’m just going to sleep,’ and didn’t eat much. “In most cases, you go from an intern to a full-time employee, but I failed.”

Afterwards, he started YouTube with the thought, “Let’s travel the world and earn 300,000 to 400,000 won a month.” So in January 2019, Panibottle set off on a trip at the age of 33 and traveled the world for 439 days.

Panibottle said, “At that time, the number of views was about 50. There was no profit. Then I went to India, and it was such a spectacular country. Even if you don't do anything, just go outside and various events will occur. I thought about giving up in Nepal, but decided to just go to India and return if that didn't work out. “After a video comparing Indian train grades went viral, the graph went up steadily,” he said. The Indian video had a cumulative view count of 7.6 million.

The first profit received from the Indian video was 5 million won. Panibottle said, “After that, I never fell below that level. It’s a bit awkward for me to talk about (profit) in front of you two, but it went so well that I’ve been working hard ever since.”

Also, Panibottle is famous for fighting with locals. Panibottle said, “What I really want to tell you is that you shouldn’t do it like that. Something can happen and it is dangerous. “I’m really careful these days,” he emphasized.

Panibottle said, “When I talk to talented friends around me, they say I’m not good at it. I think I was able to do it because I had nothing. “That could be an opportunity,” he said.
