The Try Guys has announced it will launch its own subscription streaming service, 2nd Try, as it also parts ways with Eugene Lee Yang. The news means the YouTube group, which was founded by Yang, Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Ned Fulmer, is losing another host after cutting ties with Fulmer in 2022 due to a scandal involving a workplace relationship.

The Try Guys confirmed in an interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday that its upcoming season will be Yang's last so that he can pursue other endeavors.

"Part of this is bittersweet," Kornfeld told the magazine. "We're gonna miss working with Eugene. He has been one of the true collaborators of both of our lives. But we've had a long time to process this. So we're very excited for him, very excited for us, and just feeling very energized by this whole moment."

Habersberger added, "Eugene leaving is something that is sort of necessary for us to keep moving forward. Things change. The Try Guys' original cast already came to an end once, but now it’s sort of getting a better finite ending."

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Yang for comment.

The Try Guys started in 2014 as a BuzzFeed webseries about the hosts trying various new things before it expanded into its own production company in 2018. In 2022, the group was embroiled in scandal after Fulmer admitted he "had a consensual workplace relationship." He apologized at the time to his wife, Ariel.

"I'm sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans but most of all to Ariel," Fulmer said. "The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that's where I am going to focus attention."

In a statement at the time, the Try Guys announced that Fulmer was no longer working with the group following an internal review. "As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together," they said. "We thank you for your support as we navigate this change."

Meanwhile, in a video uploaded on Wednesday, the remaining Try Guys told their more than 8 million subscribers they are launching their own streaming service called 2nd Try, citing frustrations with the YouTube algorithm. The group will remain on YouTube but offer 2nd Try subscribers exclusive shows and uncensored content for a monthly fee.

The Try Guys also announced it will expand its cast, and an FAQ shared on social media said 2nd Try will feature videos with Habersberger, Kornfeld, and "lots of new friends, too!"

On his Instagram story, Yang wrote that he is "beyond proud" of the expanded Try Guys cast, and in a post on X, he teased a video to come Thursday that will answer "all of your questions about my future involvement."
