Chae Ko-je announces marriage… Goodbye to Wonji and ‘business couple’ [Official]

Travel YouTuber Chae Ko-je (Park Jae-il, 36) has announced his marriage.

Chae Ko-je announced his marriage on his YouTube channel on the 5th, saying, “This is the happiest and most exciting news I‘ve had in the 6 years I’ve been on YouTube,” and thanking his subscribers for their interest and support.

He said of his bride-to-be, “We met by chance on the plane I was on. Our first chance meeting led to our relationship, and that‘s how we fell in love. She’s rational and wise, unlike me. And more than anything, she‘s a good person who truly wants my happiness.” He continued, “If it weren’t for my subscribers, I don‘t think the Chae Ko-je I am today would exist, and if they did, I wouldn’t have been able to meet my bride-to-be. I think that everyone reading this right now has helped us meet, and I will cherish this relationship and live happily. Thank you.”

However, Chae Ko-je said, “I have one request to make carefully. The bride-to-be is not a YouTuber or broadcaster, but someone who has never received much attention. I think you may be curious about the bride-to-be as much as you care about me. However, I ask for your understanding carefully, as your affectionate interest may feel burdensome to some.”

He also revealed his future plans. He said, “Regardless of the news of my marriage, I plan to continue working hard on YouTube. As always, I will communicate with my subscribers and work on the direction of my content and my future schedule. I am far from perfect because I am lacking in many ways, but I will do my best every moment to come back as a better person and with better content.”

Before Chae Ko-je, another travel YouTuber, Won-ji, also announced her marriage last month. They have worked together as YouTubers of the same age and as a “business couple” in each other’s YouTube videos. Fans cheered enthusiastically and sent messages of support and congratulations to the double joy of Chae Ko-je and Won-ji, who each found their life partners.

Meanwhile, Chae Ko-je, born in 1988, is a travel YouTuber who started his career in 2018 and is known by the abbreviation of ‘Channel Korean Jay’. He appeared in the 2021 Wave entertainment show ‘Blood Game’ and last year, MBC every1‘s ‘Great Guide’.
