"Chungju man" Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae's successor Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho released a tear-soaked video on Lunar New Year.
On the 17th, a short video titled "Chuno" was uploaded to Chungju city's official YouTube channel. As it was the first content uploaded after the news of Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae's resignation, who had been loved as the "Chungju man," it attracted attention.
The video showed Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho in slave makeup. With his hair let down and a drawn-on beard, Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho staged an eating show featuring boiled eggs.
But to a wistful background music, Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho, who laughed as if insane, finally burst into tears, and in a heartbreaking scene he sobbed and shoved boiled eggs into his mouth.
This parodied the mukbang scene of Lee Daegil (played by Jang Hyuk) that was a topic of conversation when the KBS drama "Chuno" aired. But coincidentally, because it was the first video after Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae's resignation and because of the pitiful appearance of Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho in the video, many expressed sorrow.
In the actual video comments, sympathy for Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho poured out with comments such as "Jiho Assistant Deputy Director with a bleak future ahead," "Jiho who misses the team leader," "What a commotion it must be for a public servant to post something like this on a holiday," "That person must be really frustrated," "I unsubscribed but resubscribed because I thought of Assistant Deputy Director Jiho," and "He didn't say a word but it's bittersweet and funny."
Earlier, on the 13th, news of Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae's resignation was reported. Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae had drawn subscribers to Chungju city's official YouTube channel to 970,000 with his savvy content. But with the channel on the verge of reaching 1 million subscribers, when Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae, who had been the channel's identity, resigned, 220,000 subscribers left. As a result, the Chungju city YouTube channel's subscribers fell to 750,000.
Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seontae, facing rumors such as political ambitions related to his resignation and bullying allegations, posted directly and explained, "I want to make it clear that allegations of internal conflicts like the 'bullying allegation' raised by some are not true. My resignation was a decision made after achieving personal goals and contemplating future new challenges, and it was not due to conflicts with specific individuals or organizations. I am only grateful to the fellow public officials and citizens I have worked with," adding, "I hope unconfirmed speculation and indiscriminate criticism do not spread further."
He especially urged, "Although I am leaving, I will always support my fellow Chungju city colleagues and all public officials who work hard for the people. Please continue to love our Chungju city YouTube channel. My successor Jiho will continue to make good videos," but he could not stop the successive loss of subscribers. Amid this, when a video of his successor Assistant Deputy Director Choi Jiho sobbing was posted, messages of support such as "Don't cry. I resubscribed" poured in.
