  • I really hate to break it to you guys, but I am closing the Asian Petrolhead Channel. Sorry, I didn't post any videos for about 3 weeks, I was just busy taking care of closing business. I guess I didn't want to upload any video because I knew this is going to be our last one.
    The channel will be opened for everybody who wants to rewatch or watch our video later on.
    For me? Well, I am just gonna take some time off and find something else. But please, don't worry about me. I will keep all the fantastic memories with you guys and live the rest of my life fully.
    Thank you so much for all of your love, support and just being there with me. I am truly sorry for not being able to carry the journey.
    Wish you guys the best for you guys. Let's keep it real!
    Thank you and bye-bye.

A pervasive ache tugs at my heart, for your absence has left an irreplaceable void in our lives.

The realm of Automotive Industry yearns for your insights, your voice, your expertise. While I respect your chosen path, the collective yearning of your followers remains, a chorus of souls echoing the sentiment: "Please, rekindle the flames of your automotive passion and grace us once more with your invaluable presence."

    Nooooo!!! This is sad news as your videos has been a great insight into the Korean domestic market, and of course you were one of the first ones to review the new Hyundai / Kia models. I currently have a Sportage Hybrid and Genesis GV60 on order because of your videos.
    All the best Charlie!

    I am sad to hear this news. Your channel is one of my favorites. Your great professional and informative videos really were great. I have a Genesis thanks to your informative videos! Feel very proud of what you accomplished here - as you know it takes a lot of work, knowledge and risk taking to do what you did - it's quite an accomplishment! I wish you and your family all the best!!!
