"It's Over Now"... Tyler's Sudden End to His 810,000-Subscriber YouTube Channel and His Surprising New Move

[Financial News] Tyler Rasch, a broadcaster who ran a popular YouTube channel with 810,000 subscribers, has announced that he is ending his channel activities and is now taking his first major steps as a food startup founder.
According to the retail and startup industries on the 21st, Tyler recently introduced "Hangul snacks" through Kalphabet, an eco-friendly vegan food brand with a Hangul concept that he co-founded.
That day, Tyler said on his social media, "It's a really exciting experience. I think there is meaning in trying the kind of startup people tell you not to do at least once in your life," and shared his views and recent update as an entrepreneur.
Earlier, on the 20th, Tyler posted a video on his YouTube channel "Tyler Bolkkayo" titled "The Identity of a Real Secretive Closed-Door Gathering More Chilling Than the Illuminati (Leak Incident)," and then personally announced that the channel would be ending.
At the end of the video, he said, "The 'Tyler Bolkkayo' you have known until now is over," delivering the sudden news that he was ending his activities.
Because he did not give a specific reason for the pause, some speculated about a possible departure from the country, but it is understood to be a decision made to focus on his new business venture.
On the risks of starting a business, Tyler said, "There is always risk, but in a way, not trying at all is also a risk you have to bear." He added, "If the world is already full of risks, then never even trying something you want to do could be an even greater risk."
He went on to say, "I still have a lot to learn, but finding lessons in the process of filling in what I lack becomes the driving force behind the business," and expressed gratitude for feedback from customers and fans.
The Hangul snacks launched by Kalphabet combine the aesthetic beauty of Hangul with eco-friendly vegan recipes. The brand appears to be targeting both domestic and overseas markets, drawing on Tyler's deep understanding of Korean culture and the recognition he built as a broadcaster.
Meanwhile, Tyler, who earned a bachelor's degree in international studies from the University of Chicago and a master's degree in diplomacy from Seoul National University, became widely known through JTBC's "Non-Summit" and has consistently voiced his views on environmental issues and cultural diversity.
