[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Creator Doti revealed the reason why he started his YouTube channel.

On the 10th episode of MBC FM4U's 'Good Morning FM with Jang Sung-kyu,' creator Doti appeared as a guest and hosted the segment.

During the broadcast, Doti said, "I was very sensitive. When I watched TV in the military barracks, the slogan of another media outlet, 'We create culture,' was so cool. I thought I wanted to become a broadcasting station PD after discharge," adding, "I started YouTube because I thought if I gathered a thousand subscribers, I could write a line about it on my resume."

He continued, "I started in October 2013, but honestly, I began from the bottom. Since I had no foundation, for quite a long time, I had no subscribers and very few views. After six months, it reached tens of thousands, but in the beginning, it was frustrating," he confessed.

In response to DJ Jang Sung-kyu's question, "Your videos have been scarce lately. Many friends are curious and waiting. What happened?" Doti admitted, "I wanted to escape from a world where I was solely responsible for everything."

He further explained, "Some of you may have seen it in the media, but I went through a very difficult mental period early last year. Doti feels like a character in a game. There was a gap with the human Na Hee-seon, which was tough. It's hard to explain, but I am resting with an apologetic heart and asking for your understanding."

Finally, he added, "Broadcasting work gives me new excitement. It's so enjoyable, and working feels alive. Doing it at a broadcasting station and doing it alone are very different. I am learning a lot."

Meanwhile, Doti is a popular YouTube creator known as the 'Super President.' Currently, his channel has about 2.53 million subscribers. Also, Doti is the founder of 'Sandbox Network,' the agency of popular YouTube creators such as 'Yoo Byung-jae' and 'Pungwollyang.'
