'Former Chungju man' Kim Seon-tae surpassed Chungju city's YouTube subscriber count in two days, and Kim Seon-tae candidly revealed his true feelings.
On the 4th, Kim Seon-tae told OSEN by phone about the steadily rising subscriber count, "I am grateful for the unexpected amount of love, but it also feels a bit like a bubble," he said cautiously.
He said of the YouTube channel that generated enormous attention, "It's a bit overheated right now. It seems like there's some bubble, so it's not yet a time to laugh prematurely. I'm trying not to be arrogant."
In particular, Kim Seon-tae surpassed the subscriber count of the YouTube channel of his former workplace, Chungju city, by exceeding 800,000 subscribers today (the 4th), while the Chungju city channel had 775,000 subscribers. Regarding this, Kim Seon-tae said, "I hope the Chungju city channel does well. That's because I created it originally, and it's like a mother channel that made me who I am."
He went on to say frankly, "There is absolutely no meaning in beating the Chungju city channel's subscriber count. I hope we both do well."
Kim Seon-tae is expected to continue active promotion through his YouTube channel. In the new channel's description, he had added the explanation, "We promote everything in the world."
Asked about his future plans, he said, "I haven't decided exactly yet, but I plan to try a variety of things without being confined to one thing. Whether it's people, things, intangible, tangible, systems, or public interest, I plan to proceed without deciding."
Meanwhile, Kim Seon-tae, who worked as a Chungju city civil servant, submitted his resignation last month and became free. It was reported that he received a job offer from the Blue House after his resignation, but he dismissed it as "just a tea time," and Kim Seon-tae opened a YouTube channel to start a new life as a creator.
In his first YouTube video, Kim Seon-tae explained, "It was portrayed as if I was driven out, but that's not the case. I appreciate the concern people had for me, but there were misunderstandings that hurt me," and added, "It's not just a problem of the civil service organization; envy and jealousy exist everywhere. I also received a lot of help, and it was not at all like being ostracized."
In particular, Kim Seon-tae said the reason he submitted his resignation was, "I wanted to make more money. Now that I'm 40, I wanted to try to show my abilities before it's too late. Of course, I don't know if it will go well. I could fail, but I want to establish myself as a YouTuber," expressing his feelings and ambitions.
