Luke Williams (Gay Life)
Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/jeongyun9847
Although this YouTuber may not have a huge amount of subscribers just yet, I believe Luke will be a leading force for the Korean community . As you may or may not know, S. Korea is still a very conservative country. Although there has been huge advances in this country the mind set of many Koreans are not as open as to those in the United States. I will say that I am ecstatic and proud to see individuals like Luke who are brave enough to expel rumors and educate the public about homosexuality. Not only has this young man found his own voice but his channel has reached out to so many individuals who may be too scared or ashamed to come out. He has openly spoke about the issues that face gay men and in doing so it has diffused the negativity that has been attached to this topic. We definitely need more individuals like Luke to take a stand and for that we love him to death!

Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/banzz
Mukbangs have been quite popular over the last few years but the hailing king of mukbang is no other than Jung Mansu. When first looking at Jung he comes off as a shy, soft spoken kid but when he starts eating, it's GAME OVER! Jung is best known for his ability to intake enormous amounts of food. One of his most famous videos was made when he ate ten bowls of Chinese Black Noodles which approached three million views! Now you would think somebody that can consume so much food would be on the heavier side, but not Jung; strangely enough he's as slim as can be. Wow, I only wish I had his metabolism, sigh!
