Markiplier's request to follow her cousin's account

Markiplier concluded his video by urging his followers to follow his cousin on Instagram, who does the hair for well-known K-Pop bands like BIGBANG. Since her following isn't as large as others in her area of work, Mark says she could use all the assistance she can get. According to Markiplier, hair stylists in that profession tend to obtain more business depending on their social media presence.

 In addition, Mark claims that he will assist his mother in starting her own YouTube channel, which means that viewers can expect to see even more content from their favorite YouTuber's family in the near future. Although it's unknown at this time when Markiplier will resume producing regular material, fans are anticipating what comes after this recent update.
