Iván Raúl Buhajeruk Fernández (born 11 October 2000), better known as Spreen, is an Argentine Twitch streamer, football player, and YouTuber.
Buhajeruk began his online career in 2015, initially on YouTube and later expanding to Twitch. His content includes gaming, tutorials, and vlogs, with a focus on creating a community feel with his audience.[4][5][6]
In 2023, Spreen was nominated Content Creator of the Year, and surpassed streamers such as ElRubius and IlloJuan.[7] As of July 2022, his Twitch channel had over 6,700 paid subscribers, with an additional 4.4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.[8]
On September 22, 2024, Spreen made the switch to the new streaming platform Kick. The main factor driving this change was the financial potential Kick offers. Spreen revealed that, in a single livestream on the new platform, he could earn as much as he would previously make in an entire month on Twitch. This substantial increase in income will not only provide him with financial stability but also allow him to invest in more ambitious projects.[9]
In November 2024, Spreen made his professional football debut as a striker for Deportivo Riestra, before being substituted after less than a minute, in their Argentine Primera División match against Velez Sarsfield in a 1–1 draw. This was criticised in Argentine media as a "stunt" and Estudiantes de la Plata president Juan Sebastián Verón stated it showed a "total lack of respect for football and footballers". The Argentine Football Association announced they would be opening an ethics investigation as a result.[10]
