    Fung Bros: How They Became YouTubers

    After graduating college at the University of Washington, David and Andrew Fung left Seattle and moved to Los Angeles to pursue entertainment. They had their eyes on becoming mainstream stand-up comedians and entertainers. But when they realized that getting into that industry was more difficult as a newcomer, they quickly turned routes and decided to pursue YouTube.

Today, the Fung Bros have over 2 million subscribers on YouTube and have created videos which reflect the Asian American experience. This is their story on how they started on Youtube, how they created a name for themselves, and their advice to kids who want to become YouTubers.
