Two male creators are drawing major attention online after officially launching a “couple” themed YouTube channel together, with many netizens debating whether the move is harmless fanservice or simply a strategy to chase views.
According to a viral post on theqoo, the discussion began after viewers noticed growing chemistry between fashion model Papa Yoon (Park Se yoon) and travel and daily life YouTuber Hong Buzz (Hong Sang beom), who had already uploaded several travel related videos together on their individual content.
As more viewers responded positively to the duo and their videos reportedly continued performing well, the two eventually took things a step further and launched what was described as a dedicated “couple channel,” with the original post jokingly reacting, “They started a couple channel ^^”
The move quickly sparked mixed reactions from Korean netizens, especially because some commenters framed the content as deliberate fanservice aimed at viewers who enjoy “business gay performance,” a slang term often used online to describe creators leaning into same sex “couple” style chemistry for entertainment rather than confirming any real relationship.
Some netizens appeared amused and supportive, with comments such as “People enjoy WGM just fine, but have a problem with this? Why?” and “They’re not committing a crime, if they want to do it, they can.”
Others were more skeptical and openly questioned the motive behind the content, with many bluntly saying it looked like a business decision.
Reactions included “Of course they’ll do it for the money,” “Money will make you do anything,” and “It’s my first time seeing a YouTube account dedicated to BGP.”
The viral post is now gaining attention not because of any confirmed romance, but because of how openly the duo is leaning into the “couple content” image, with online reactions split between viewers who see it as playful content and others who believe it is simply calculated fanservice built around audience demand.
