Popular YouTuber GwakTube (real name Gwak Jun-bin), who has 2.11 million subscribers, has made headlines by confessing that he is in a serious relationship with a non-celebrity girlfriend with the intent to marry.

On the 13th, a video titled 'A Strange 3 Nights 4 Days Food Tour in Thailand Where the Guide Eats More' was released on GwakTube's YouTube channel. In this video, GwakTube traveled to Bangkok, Thailand with his subscribers, showing a more honest side than usual.

Confession from Honest Conversation with Subscribers

On the last day of the trip, GwakTube shared bucket lists with his subscribers and had a deep conversation. During this process, a subscriber directly asked, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' and GwakTube answered without hesitation, 'Yes. I am also thinking about marriage.'

This was a very shocking confession for GwakTube, who has been cautious about his private life. Especially mentioning 'thoughts about marriage' rather than just a simple relationship suggests that this relationship is serious.

Everyday Dates with Non-Celebrity Girlfriend

GwakTube revealed that he met his non-celebrity girlfriend through an acquaintance. He stated, 'We mainly date at home. We also go to many good restaurants,' sharing a normal yet small daily life.

In particular, he emphasized that '(his girlfriend) understands him very well,' indicating that his partner provides deep understanding and support for his YouTuber activities. This seems to express gratitude for having a partner who understands the busy schedule and unique professional environment of being a public figure.

Clarifying Separation from Moving

Among subscribers, there were speculations that GwakTube's recent move was related to his girlfriend. However, when asked, 'Isn't it because of your girlfriend that you moved?' GwakTube clearly stated, 'I did not move because of my girlfriend.'

This shows that he is separating personal relationships from changes in living environments, implying that the relationship is not progressing hastily.
