- I watch this, I respect, respect.
- Oh, he's doing his logo, that's so cool.
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- Oh my God, it's ZHC.
- I watch this, I respect, respect.
- (ZHC) Today we're customizing 20 iPhone 11s.
- Oh yeah, this is Zach. He's super cool.
I just discovered him recently.
- (ZHC) Today we're customizing 20 iPhone 11s for famous TikTokers.
- That is a lot of iPhones.
- (ZHC) Alright, so this one's gonna be for Charli D'Amelio.
She says she really likes donuts.
- I love this guy,
he's like one of my favorite YouTubers,
and I'm not even joking.
- (ZHC) One's gonna be for Charli D'Amelio's sister.
- I don't know how I feel about that. That kinda hurts my heart.
- Is it he like an art, or like design channel?
Okay, that's cool.
- I really like some of the designs he does.
He actually inspires me a lot to do some of the art I do.
- (ZHC) Charli, do you wanna open yours first?
- (Charli) I'm really nervous.
- (man) Yo!
- I don't use TikTok,
but isn't she like one of the most famous people on there?
- (ZHC) Dunkin' Donuts though. - (man) That's so tight.
- (ZHC) Do you wanna show the camera your new phone?
- Aw, that's sick.
- Alright, but like wouldn't, wouldn't a like...
- (Charli) This is crazy. - A phone case work?
- (Dixie) That's sick, oh my God, that's my name!
- That's so awesome, what? - (Dixie) That's fire!
- That is fire, but I don't know if it's gold.
It hurts my heart that he opens it
and goes like okay, let's paint it.
- Just the way he customizes all these iPhones,
and he's just so like giving,
and he's such a cool human being in general. (laughs)
- I love like, when people are like really talented,
and they have a way to not only show off their talent,
but like help other people, that's the best thing ever.
You can't beat that.
- (ZHC) This pen costs $10,300, making it one of the world's...
- It's a pen. - (ZHC) ...most expensive pens.
- I would lose it in a day. - Yeah, I saw this video as well.
- (ZHC) It's the Montblanc Blue Skeleton Fountain Pen.
- It's Montblanc.
Makes sense why it's $10,000.
- That's some fire casing.
- The box is like nicer than anything I have.
- (ZHC) This pen had an 18 karat solid white gold nib,
and the cap is topped off with a 2.5 millimeter blue sapphire.
- What is the need of that?
- But see like, it looks like a pen. Like, what's the...
It's not glowing or glittering.
- Yeah, I don't know how he has the fundings for all this.
- (ZHC) My hands aren't worthy of this pen.
- No, I don't think any of our hands are worthy to ever touch that pen,
because that pen's ridiculous.
- $10,000 on a pen?
Like, I could go to Staples, get a $4 ball point blue pen,
and I could write two lines, and they would look the same.
- We have more to show you in a second,
but those were a couple of popular videos
from the YouTuber Zach Hsieh, better known as ZHC.
Have you heard of him? - Okay.
I have never heard of him.
- Zach started making videos at the end of 2016,
and as of filming this episode,
he already has over 10 million subscribers
and gets millions of views on each of his videos.
- I'm not surprised, to be honest.
I mean, he puts so much time into the videos.
You can kinda tell.
- He has a lot of different styles of content,
with most of his stuff surrounding art,
which includes collaborations with other popular YouTube creators.
So we have a couple of those to show you now.
- Alright, let's see it.
- (ZHC) I bought a Tesla for MrBeast.
- My two literal favorite YouTubers.
I watched this video, and it was like, awesome.
- I watched this one. I thought it was super cool.
- (ZHC) I bought a Tesla for MrBeast.
I'm gonna customize it...
- Finally someone who's buying something for MrBeast.
He's always just giving stuff away.
- Where are you getting the money, though?
- I love it when he customizes cars, so it's like, it's super cool.
- That is sick though, that is super cool.
- Oh, he's doing his logo, that's so cool.
- (Chris) Oh! - (MrBeast) What, yo!
That tiger is muscle-y!
- Just to see two giving YouTubers collaborating together,
that just made the YouTube career, like right there.
- (MrBeast) My house has been broken into before,
and I have a lot of stalkers,
so I obviously can't drive a car like this.
People will follow it. But you guys can.
- (Chris) People can follow me, I don't care.
- And he's giving it away, oh. (laughs)
- (MrBeast) Rock, Paper, Scissors,
and whoever wins best two out of three
gets to keep this car that he customized.
- (ZHC) It's a lot on the line. (Emma laughs)
- (MrBeast) Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot!
- No! - (Chris) Tesla baby!
Yes, excuse me, you're in the way of my car.
See you guys later.
- Wow, imagine like, wow. My friend and I do
Rock, Paper, Scissors for the last slice of pizza,
and they're like who gets a Tesla.
- I know that this is like his second Tesla he wins
from this channel.
He's just stacking up his garages with Teslas.
- Hi sisters, today, we're customizing
a ton of Balenciaga products for James Charles.
- Oh! - (ZHC) Like a brick shoe.
- Yeah, I saw this, yeah.
- (ZHC) For James Charles, like a brick shoe.
- That is massive.
- (ZHC) They're literally bricks. - How much do those shoes cost?
- (ZHC) A backpack.
- Okay, I actually saw his reaction to this,
James's reaction, but I did not see how they make it.
- (ZHC) Fanny packs. Watch this.
And wallets. No, I dropped it!
Adding up to over $10,000.
- Yeah, that's crazy.
The amount of money he spends on videos
just amazes me.
- (ZHC) And at the end of the video we'll be customizing
iPhone 11s to give away to you guys.
- And then like, they're customizing iPhones for other people.
It's cool how he's also giving away to fans.
- That's super cool, but like, why? (laughs)
- He just does it with markers. That's so awesome.
- (ZHC) Alright, so over here, we have the Rainbow Dragon.
- Those are sick. I want a pair of those.
- (ZHC) We have a rainbow fire... - Give me that, please!
- (James) Hi, sisters!
Look in here! (Emma laughs)
Oh my gosh!
- And this is him opening all of it, it's like really nice.
- (James) These are so cool!
Okay, now this one's officially my favorite one.
Aw, that's the best!
- He said that to every single one of them. (laughs)
- I think it's cool, but, but why?
I wouldn't show up to my friend's house
with $10,000 worth of Balenciagas.
What if you want to resell them?
Isn't it more price, like original?
- Brining two arts together from makeup to like,
customizing, designing products and just putting them all together.
Like that just builds a bigger fanbase as well,
because makeup is art, in a way.
- Not only does he work with a lot of YouTubers,
but he also takes his own spin on a lot of common YouTube challenges,
like the 24 hour challenge,
where he ended up drawing PewDiePie for 24 hours,
and uploaded the entire thing to YouTube.
- Oh my God, that's crazy.
- That is one of my first videos I saw of him,
and I'm like is this man okay? Like, is he alright?
- So next, we're gonna show you one of his spins
on the You Draw It, I'll Buy It challenge.
- Oh, okay.
- You best believe I'm drawing a house. (laughs)
- (ZHC) Alright guys, we're at the mall.
Anything you draw, I'll pay for.
- How good does the drawing have to be?
- Where is he getting money though?
- (ZHC) Waste my money on three. One, two, three!
- I love wasting money.
- (laughs) Yeah, his editing is great too.
- (ZHC) Dude, I'm not paying for that. - (artist) Nah dude, it's so good.
- That's insane, that's insane.
- (artist) When we went to adidas,
I found a black and white pair of shoes,
which is what I needed.
I drew it, and my drawing was really bad,
but I still got it. (laughs)
- (laughs) That's, yeah, at least he wasn't like
I can't even tell that's a shoe, I'm not buying it.
- I think it's pretty cool, especially for his channel.
You know, since it's all about drawing,
and you can kinda, with trends and stuff like that,
you can always incorporate something like drawing into it
and make it even better than it already is.
- As mentioned earlier, Zach has only been on the platform
for about three years now, and in that time,
he's grown exponentially.
So far, gaining over five million subscribers
just in 2020 alone. - Wow!
That is huge!
- From watching some of his videos, what do you think it is
about his content that's helped him grow so much and so fast?
- I mean, he is extremely talented, like, his art is so awesome,
and I think he's also, like, part of it is he's just like,
he seems like a really nice, genuine person.
- I think it's kind of, you know,
the same way that how MrBeast does his videos.
He puts his money back into it,
and then he doesn't just copy other YouTubers
to get like short-term fame, I guess you could say.
He puts his own spin on stuff like that,
and then it's more entertaining to watch
'cause people haven't seen it before.
- If he stuck to just drawing drawings like that,
and making tutorials,
you're just another one of the drawing tutorials.
You're not anything different.
So doing something crazy and absurd
like drawing on a Tesla or doing crazy things like that
is what gives you recognition, and he got his break,
and he realized what his niche was and he just kept on going with it.
- In his videos, he does a lot of giveaways,
which is something that is popular on YouTube,
but Zach kind of takes it a step further
by customizing his prizes, like iPhones, designer products and more
with his own personal art style.
What are your thoughts around YouTubers having giveaways
that are more custom to their brand in this way,
versus kind of more traditional giveaways?
- Yeah, like, if someone's a die hard fan of him,
and he personally customized the item,
like, I would be very happy if that's the case.
It's putting an own unique twist to it.
It isn't just one of a product that you can go out and buy yourself.
It's something that's special.
- I like more custom, personally.
Don't get me wrong, giving's really nice,
but sometimes when you custom, it gives you that extra boost
of I really care about you guys.
- If you put your own, like effort into the prize
that you're giving away, I think it would make
more people want to get it, because it's actually,
not just coming from the YouTuber, like oh, I'm buying it
and shipping it to you,
but like he actually takes the time to customize the thing that you get.
If I had the option to buy one of his iPhones
that he could draw, I would literally pay like double the price
just to get something as cool as that.
- So finally, if you could get Zach to make you a custom piece
of ZHC art, what would you ask him to customize?
- Oh, wow. I play guitar,
and I think it would be super awesome if he like drew on a guitar
and like customized it.
I think that would be like literally the coolest thing ever.
- I would say a custom, the newest iPad Pro.
I really wanna continue my art, actually on it,
and I also wanna maybe use it for school,
and even for eventually when I finally can start posting
my own YouTube videos, because I really wanna do that one day.
- Every single thing that I've seen him customize,
even if it's something that I didn't want him to customize,
it looked awesome anyways,
so whatever, hey ZHC, whatever you wanna customize for me,
I'll gladly take it.
- Thanks for watching this episode of Teens React.
- What YouTuber should we react to next?
Let us know in the comments.
- Bye!
I'm gonna work on my drawing skills now.
