'Chungju man' known as Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae's resignation news has been reported, drawing attention to his future moves. However, some voices say excessive speculation should be avoided regarding reports such as a move into the entertainment industry.

On the 13th, according to Chungju city, Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae recently submitted his letter of resignation to the personnel department and announced his intention to retire at the end of this month. He is currently using up his remaining annual leave, and the acceptance of the resignation will proceed according to procedure.

Chungju city said it received the notice without prior warning and described the situation as somewhat sudden.

Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae became a major topic through Chungju city's official YouTube channel "ChungTV" with the "Chungju man" character. He grew the channel to about 970,000 subscribers with content that combined parody and humor, and his achievements were recognized with a promotion to grade 6 seven years after appointment. His public recognition also increased through appearances on entertainment shows.

He has spoken candidly in several interviews about the job stability and limits of being a public servant. However, he has not personally announced any specific career plans following this resignation.

Some predict the possibility of becoming a full-time YouTuber or expanding broadcast activities, but online there are cautious responses such as "rather than excessive speculation, it is right to wait for his own position" and "the high level of interest could be a burden."

Since no clear plan has been disclosed, it appears necessary to wait for the party's official statement on future moves.<
