Yoon Nam-no declares independence of personal channel with '10kg weight loss' pledge

Yoon Nam-no, the protagonist of the YouTube channel 'Yoon Nam-no Po', has announced a new change, marking the end of his journey over the past year. Celebrating his birthday, Yoon Nam-no revealed specific plans for the future direction of his channel management during a lavish birthday party shown in a video released by Studio Slam.

Birthday party held with 'Royal Gukbap' accompanied by truffle

Yoon Nam-no spent a special time preparing his own cooking to celebrate his birthday. Presenting what he called 'Royal Gukbap'—made with scallop, brisket, maitake mushrooms, cauliflower mushrooms, and truffle—he expressed satisfaction with the broth he carefully simmered. The cast members present marveled at the flavor of the truffle and the rich broth, continuing the birthday celebration atmosphere. The MVP of the birthday party went to Lee Gyeong-jin, who showed active participation and reactions.

The lingering excitement of the birthday party continued until the next morning. Concluding the previous day's meal, Yoon Nam-no showcased various recipes using Jin Ramen. The cooking process included boiled pork belly (suyuk) cooked using about 600g of meat with Jin Ramen seasoning, 'Tonkotsu Jin Ramen' which adds flavor with mayonnaise and egg yolks, and 'Mala Huoguo Jin Ramen' seasoned with hot pot sauce and bok choy. He expressed his affection for the product, saying, "I am on the same frequency as Jin Ramen."

"I will separate the channel"... A decisive move made with a 10kg weight loss pledge

The core of this video lay in the change of future content direction. Yoon Nam-no, who has shown his culinary skills through 'Yoon Nam-no Po' over the past year, expressed his desire to move beyond the framework of 'hand-made taste' and convey more diverse experiences through YouTube. While leaving room for the possibility of appearing in markets again as a market man, he decided to pursue 'channel separation' by moving from the existing channel to a personal channel after discussions with the production team.

Mentioning the pressure of channel independence, Yoon Nam-no referred to his 346,000 subscribers and said, "I crawled up from the bottom of life, and I have the courage to start from zero again." To increase the execution of the channel separation, he made an unconventional pledge. After confirming his weight was 107.7kg on-site, he declared the pledge, "I will separate the channel if I lose 10kg," showing his determination for dieting.

Final message delivered through birthday volunteer work for abandoned dogs

Yoon Nam-no filled the end of his birthday with meaningful activity. Stating that he usually finds healing by following news related to abandoned dogs, he visited the 'Mullaedong Animal Rescue 119 Adoption Center' in Yangpyeong. At this place where children rescued from abuse and abandonment reside, he interacted with the dogs while receiving precautions from the center staff. The center explained that since there are children rescued from mountains or slaughterhouses who are afraid of people, caution is needed, such as showing one's hand in front of them and letting them smell it rather than touching them suddenly.

Hearing the stories of the rescued dogs, including a child rescued from Bukhansan and a child who underwent surgery at the time of rescue due to necrosis of the ears and tail, Yoon Nam-no expressed his desire to do something good to celebrate his birthday. He spent time with the rescued dogs, marking the conclusion of his food-filled journey over the past year.
