A close brother sits in a chair and spends a good time.

When the baby shows interest in his brother's finger, the curious brother puts his finger in the baby's mouth.



At that time, the baby bites his finger tightly, and his innocent expression gradually hardens.

Eventually, he screams, pulls his finger out, and shouts, "Charlie, it hurts so much!"

The baby bursts into laughter when he sees his crying brother.




The video, filmed by Mr. Howard, the brother's father in Buckinghamshire, England, was released on YouTube in 2007 under the title'Charlie Bites My Finger'.



Brothers Charlie and Harry, who were 1 and 3 years old respectively at the time, gave big smiles to netizens around the world, and the video reached 880 million views in 14 years.

Parodies using this video also poured out.




But recently, this video has been attracting people's attention again for a new reason.

This is because

the news that the brother's father, Howard, sold the video title for a whopping $760,000 (approximately 850 million won)

.



Mr. Howard put the video on an auction and sold it as a'Non-Fungible Token (NFT)'.

NFT, which means'non-replaceable token' in Korean, refers to a token that represents scarce digital assets such as video, digital artwork, and game items.



Recently, interest in NFT transactions in the digital transaction market is emerging in that digital assets can be given values ​​of'scarcity' and'uniqueness', and both ownership and sales history are stored in the blockchain and cannot be counterfeited.




The anonymous buyer, who has become the new owner of the video, is said to have been given the right to shoot a new parody video with a real sibling, who is now 17 and 15, respectively.



After the initial NFT transaction was successful, the'Legend Video', which collected about 900 million views on YouTube, was scheduled to be processed privately.



However, as buyers said, "This video is a big part of YouTube culture, and it is important to keep people running the meme and parody culture," netizens will be able to watch the brothers freely in the future.




As to the reason for selling video ownership, Howard said, "I wanted my sons to get the best education without any worries."



He said, "I hope the first Harry, who will go to college soon, will be able to stay in a good place to focus on his studies, even if he leaves home."
