Imagine this: Two South Korean vlog maestros, known as Cullen and Jung, casually roam the magnificent landscapes of Thailand, documenting their every step, and unexpectedly, they spark a national park passport frenzy! The dynamic duo behind the hit YouTube channel @cullen_hateberry, with a whopping subscriber count north of 1.51 million, have caught the attention of adventurers and homebodies alike, according to the esteemed DNP director-general, Atthaphon Charoenchansa.
The pair’s antics recorded over the year were more than just moving pictures; their channel turned into a grand stage displaying Thailand’s breathtaking beauty. With over 143,548 messages buzzing like bees around a hive of must-see content, it’s no surprise that a staggering audience of over 20 million was spellbound. And all it took was a series of engaging video diaries to make that little passport booklet a must-have travel accessory.
Those deceptively simple videos were more than just a walk in the park; they were a clarion call, beckoning viewers to descend upon stores, clamoring for a copy of the revered guide. But alas! The echoes of empty shelves were heard as the national park passports vanished quicker than a mirage.
The DNP’s website humbly admitted the unexpected sell-out, yet hope was not lost. There was a promise of more – 90,000 more, to be exact. With passports priced at a mere 100 baht, it’s less than the cost of a meal but with a value that could fill a lifetime of memories. When these coveted passports do grace the park again, they’ll be scattered across 155 of Thailand’s natural treasures for all to claim and cherish.
Atthaphon, the mastermind of this viral sensation, tipped his hat to the decision of enlisting Cullen and Jung for their grand tour of the nation’s parks. Their raw energy and genuine enthusiasm were as organic as Thailand’s lush green forests, and the DNP knew better than to meddle with that natural formula of success. Even now, they’re in anticipation of the team’s next move, as these two are as unpredictable as the monsoon winds.
We delve a bit into the lives of our intrepid park enthusiasts: Cullen, otherwise known as Park Kideuk, a multi-talented artist who mixes beats as an electronic dance music producer when he’s not modeling or reminiscing over his days as a DJ in a Korean eatery nestled in Thailand’s urban jungle. And then there’s Jung, a businessman with a thirst for new experiences, who once came to Thailand to chase new horizons and learn the lyrical Thai language. He earned his moniker “Brother Jung” through the playful banter with Cullen on their wild escapades.
The ripple effect of their jaunts has led many to discover the rich tapestry that is Thailand’s national parks, illustrating the power of a story well told. For now, the duo’s plans remain as mysterious as the hidden trails of the Thai wilderness, but whatever comes next is poised to be as enthralling as their last adventure. So stay tuned, for Cullen and Jung show no signs of stopping their exhilarating trek through the land of smiles!
