A Hong Kong YouTuber has said he was unfairly dismissed from his internship at a secondary school after it raised concerns over his internet activity.
Chan Yuk-lun, 30, better known by his internet name “Bed Gor”, said in an Instagram post on Thursday night he was fired as a social work intern at a school “without reason” two days into the job.
Chan, who started his internship on Wednesday, said he got a call on Thursday evening from the school and was told teachers had petitioned for his dismissal.
“This is the most unjust and unacceptable thing that has happened to me,” Chan said in a video he posted on Instagram on Thursday night.
He is in the fourth year of social work studies at the Hong Kong College of Technology, and one of four members of the YouTube channel JFFT, popular among Hong Kong teens, which has 129,000 subscribers.
