Popular Twitch streamer HAchubby was in tears after learning that the platform would shut down its operations in Korea and she would be forced to switch to YouTube or move to another country.
On December 5, Twitch announced that it would cease operations in South Korea due to the “too expensive” cost of operating the platform, leaving many streamers without a home.
Many streamers have voiced concerns about losing their jobs, and HAchubby is no exception, going live to express his frustrations.
In an emotional state, HAchubby shed tears while discussing the recent turmoil – but received a pleasant surprise when Mizkif agreed to help her apply for a Visa and stay at his house.
Mizkif offered to help HAchubby in the context of Twitch Korea’s closure
During her broadcast, HAchubby discussed the idea of moving to YouTube, saying she wasn’t sure how many viewers would follow her.
“Maybe I need to switch to YouTube and I’m not sure how many viewers are watching me,” she said with tears streaming down her face. “They were literally like chatting on Twitch.”
She further explained that her convenience store HAchuMart will close. While it wasn’t 100% related to Twitch Korea’s decision, it was already in trouble and the Twitch news was just another blow.
Moments later, Mizkif appeared and promised to help, saying he could help her try to get a work visa so she could continue streaming on Twitch.
“Are you trying to move to America? I mean, if I could help you get a work Visa, I would have done it. I will do as much as I can,” he said. “If you’re serious, I’ll start working on it right now.”
We’ll have to see how many Korean streamers adapt and how many decide to switch platforms or move to other countries in the coming months.
Until then, keep it locked to Dexerto for more coverage on Twitch.
