Kevin is in a group called YTF. The web series Funemployed,
launched in the summer of 2010, stars Kevin Wu and Wong Fu Productions Philip
Wang and includes other notable YouTube stars such as Nigahiga, David Choi and Kina Grannis. With so many fans of Wong Fu Productions, and
Kevjumba, this series quickly took off and became a hit, reaching 500,000
viewers in only a few weeks. The series focuses on two good friends named Kyle
(Kevin Wu) and Jason (Philip Wang), and how they are dealing with unemployment
after Jason is laid off at work. Kyle is characterized as the typical laid back
guy, who comes off as somewhat of a slacker, while Jason is characterized as
the more studious hard worker of the two. The two eventually come up with an
idea of how to make money, believing that YouTube is the key, an allusion to
Wu's and Wang's real life success with YouTube videos.
