'Chungju man' Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae's submission of his resignation became known, and subscribers to Chungju City's YouTube channel fell below 800,000.
As of 6 p.m. on the 16th, Chungju City's official YouTube channel recorded 793,000 subscribers.
This is a drop of about 182,000 from the peak of 975,000. Since the resignation letter of public relations officer 'Chungju man' Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae became known on the 13th, subscribers have been steadily unsubscribing, and nearly 200,000 subscribers left in just four days, ultimately breaking the 800,000 mark.
It is a bolt from the blue for Chungju City, which was approaching 1 million subscribers. According to Social Blade, Chungju City's YouTube channel began losing 23,000 subscribers on the 13th, followed by 24,000 on the 14th, and a staggering 93,000 on the 15th. On the 16th, so far 37,000 have pressed the unsubscribe button.
This shows the presence of 'Chungju man' Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae. Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae led changes in public institution promotion methods with short-form planning, his distinctive B-grade sensibility, and vivid editing, but after submitting his resignation to the personnel department on the 13th, he went on extended leave.
Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae said, "I am about to say farewell after 10 years in public service and seven years living as Chungju man. If my imperfect self was fortunate enough to achieve success, it was thanks to the support of the subscribers," and added, "I would also like to thank the citizens of Chungju who cheered me on and my colleagues at Chungju City Hall who always showed consideration. The seven years I spent with you were the happiest time of my life. I hope you will continue to love Chungju City."
After Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae submitted his resignation, various rumors circulated. In response, Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae said, "My resignation is the result of achieving personal goals and careful consideration of future new challenges, and is not because of conflict with any particular person or organization. I am only grateful to the fellow public officials I worked with and to the citizens," and said, "It pains me deeply that Chungju City colleagues have been attacked and that this has escalated into criticism of public officials in general because of various reports and speculation. I hope unverified speculation and indiscriminate criticism will not spread further."
In particular, Kim, the Assistant Deputy Director, urged, "Although I am leaving, I will always support my colleagues at Chungju City and all public officials who work hard for the people. Finally, please continue to love our Chungju City YouTube channel. My successor Ji-ho will continue to make good videos."
Contrary to his plea, Chungju City's YouTube channel, which Kim Seon-tae is leaving, saw its 800,000 subscribers break down, painfully underscoring the void left by him.
