Nowadays, there are many people who work online and communicate with people in other countries. They are not well-known in South Korea, but they are famous in other countries. They are called "Private Diplomat". In case of "Korean Billy", he was featured in BBC, the home of English, and BBC executives called him a savior and praised him for his work. He only had an experience of staying overseas in a small village in northern England, where he spent six months as an exchange student. 

The BBC executives applauded Korean Billy when they watched a video of him, named a "Liverpool Dialect" that was slightly different from authentic English, and Koreans felt hard to distinguish.
Korean Billy is a popular YouTuber, a person who uploads videos on YouTube, that has a fan of 54,000 people, and introduces various dialects. His nickname, "Korean Billy", is well-known rather than his real name, and better known in England than in South Korea. "It seems that many people in the UK are interested in here. Because it's a rare picture that Korean people said English dialects," he said.

He started this work because of failing to get a job. He wanted to work on a broadcasting company or foreign culture related work. When he just graduated from a university, he thought of making my own way, and he started working on YouTube. He is not succeeded at the first time, but he thought of concepts and really hard worked. Finally, his experience of staying at England and making videos made him a famous star.

In his life now, there are many chances to get a job. BBC suggested him to work together with them, and another company suggested, too. However, he rejected all of those suggestions. He do not want to give up making a video on YouTube now. So, he delays getting a job.
Like Korean Billy, there are many people who work as Internet celebrities. Other people are famous in MCN (Multi-Channel Network) industry. YouTube and Afreeca TV are some online platforms that people are using. Creators influence is surpassed celebrity. This can be the first step to make a real globalizing world. And Korean Billy added, "Creators who target overseas markets are positive in terms of being able to become a business partner with the Korean Wave boom."
