Science YouTuber Orbit Connects Younha and Science Cookie: A Journey Through 'Knowing Bros'

Orbit revealed as the link between Younha and Science Cookie.

On the September 30th episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', viewers were introduced to Orbit, Chungju Man, and Risabae.

During the show, science YouTuber Orbit shared, "I thought I was smart as a child. I enjoyed solving problems and rarely got them wrong, so I believed there was a reason I was born this way and that there was a problem only I could solve."

Orbit continued, "I believed there was a problem I needed to solve, so I sought out the most challenging field of study. I heard astrophysics was the hardest, so I thought I was meant to tackle it." He also mentioned Younha's hit song 'Event Horizon', saying, "Before Younha, no one knew the term 'event horizon', but now it's widely recognized."

Kim Heechul brought up Younha's husband, Science Cookie. Orbit explained, "Younha's husband is a fellow science YouTuber and a friend of mine. I introduced them by calling him while having a meal with Younha, which might have been the start of their relationship."

Orbit also discussed 'Devil's Plan', saying, "I usually appear on programs to talk about science. Initially, I declined the offer, but when I heard it would be dubbed in 190 countries, I realized that even a single word about science would be multiplied by 190, which made it worthwhile."

He added, "I played the game diligently, but I kept talking about science in the dorms. Even in personal interviews, I started as a scientist, but those parts were cut, leaving me as a silent gamer." Orbit shared that many scientists reached out, saying, "You showed the role of a scientist in the world," emphasizing the importance of sharing and surviving together.

Regarding a potential return to 'Devil's Plan', Orbit stated he wouldn't participate again, citing his vulnerability to survival programs. Instead, he expressed his love for collaboration and problem-solving, mentioning his reviews of Kang Ho-dong's 'Great Escape'.
