An alleged "exposure" about Yang Chi-seung's gym director broke out, but it turned out to be a heartwarming anecdote. Although he had recently been a victim of a 1.5 billion won fraud, his warm generosity toward people around him moved many.
On the 1st, the production team of the YouTube channel "Yang Chi-seung's MakTube" posted a piece titled "We expose the real Yang Chi-seung gym director." Contrary to the sensational wording, the content was a post conveying his consideration for the production team. The producers said, "While editing, we had something we really wanted to convey," and then revealed that during the Lunar New Year holiday Yang Chi-seung had gifted high-value Starbucks e-gift cards saying, "Have a good holiday."
They added, "He would stubbornly refuse if we thanked him separately, so we will substitute with this anecdote," and added, "The amount was large, so it seems like you could flex every day for a month." The expression "exposure" thus served as a device to express gratitude.
Yang Chi-seung's "generous nature" is revealed throughout the video. In recently released content, after finishing a golf lesson he went to a Korean buffet with staff and paid the bill himself. When a staff member said, "I should have paid, but you always treat us," he smiled and finished the payment. That episode shows how much he cares for those around him.
Earlier he had said he went through a difficult time after suffering major losses from a fraud and the closure of his gym. Facing losses of at least 1 billion won including a 500 million won jeonse deposit and facility costs, he said the most painful moment was "when I couldn't properly buy a meal for the people around me."
He is now preparing a comeback as the manager of a Han River view APT. valued at around 10 billion won and has announced a fresh start. As he said, "I want to show that I came up from underground. I need to do well so I don't become a burden to my younger siblings," he aims to live a life where he can give again.
Even in difficult circumstances, his care for those around him and his attitude of not showing gratitude were belatedly revealed by the production team's "exposure." Contrary to the sensational YouTube headline, his sincerity that puts people first has been conveyed, adding warmth.
