"Former Chungju man" Kim Seon-tae displayed the dignity befitting a 1 million YouTuber.
On the afternoon of the 6th, the channel "Kim Seon-tae" uploaded a second video titled "Thank you for 1 million subscribers."
He said, "A lot of advertisements have been attached. I have 700 emails, and of course not all are advertisements; some are 'cheers.' I think I need to go through them one by one from now on."
He continued, "Right now the profile picture was drawn by Ppanibottle. Honestly, when I first received it I was a bit surprised. It's a talent to be able to draw someone less attractive than the real person," and he added, "But the more I look at it, the more fond I get. It's unattractive, but it seems to match my goofy image. I thought experienced people are different," expressing satisfaction.
In particular, Kim Seon-tae said, "From now on I'll talk about future plans: I'm thinking of creating a truly promotion-specialized channel. Whether it's people, animals, objects, systems, public interest or corporations, I'm planning to promote a wide variety of things. So I hope you'll continue to give a lot of love," and said, "In the end, my essence seems to be doing things alone. I seem to be the kind of person who can shine when working alone, so I decided to work alone, and rather than doing a lot of broadcasting or similar activities, I want to focus more on YouTube. To do YouTube, it seems better to remain in Chungju. I plan to continue doing YouTube in Chungju."
However, Kim Seon-tae said, "But you never know. You can't predict people's affairs," mentioning the possibility of moving, and added, "For now I plan to stay in Chungju and continue."
Meanwhile, Assistant Deputy Director Kim Seon-tae ran Chungju's official YouTube channel, "Chung TV," and received much attention and affection under the name "Chungju man." He led the team as director for public relations' New Media team at Chungju city hall and gained popularity by producing parody videos and others. The channel recorded up to 970,000 subscribers, and in recognition of the achievement he was promoted to grade 6 at the end of 2023 after seven years of appointment.
During that time, he suddenly submitted his resignation after nine years as a public servant last month and left Chungju city hall, becoming free. It was reported that he later received a hiring offer from the Blue House, but he dismissed it as "just a tea-time." He recently launched a personal channel and chose life as a creator. The YouTube channel "Kim Seon-tae" surpassed 1 million subscribers in just three days, drawing great attention.<
