"Former Chungju man" YouTuber Kim Seon-tae spoke candidly about malicious comments.
On the 8th, a promotional piece for a coffee brand was uploaded to Kim Seon-tae's YouTube channel.
That day, after tasting the brand's new menu item, he mentioned the rumors surrounding him, saying, "I really think viral marketing is important. Creating good viral content is also a skill. But spending money to create viral content is a bit… It's not unheard of, but I am still being suspected. Aren't people saying Kim Seon-tae is running the viral marketing?"
He joked, "How would I run viral marketing, with what? Get my friends to do it? Or use my account? I have never written comments on Naver, let alone communities. I didn't run the viral marketing. It happened naturally. I hope people won't misunderstand. If I had run it, would I be running it now?"
He continued, "I'm still grateful. I'm really thankful to the people in the communities. The people who first made 'Find the Chungju apple' go viral. Those people actually made me. There are also many malicious comments. To be honest. Malicious comments have increased. They've clearly increased since I became independent," and he even directly named a community that had the most malicious comments, saying, "Most of them were 'M X.'"
Kim Seon-tae said jokingly, "But isn't that also attention? Don't be an obsessive fan, don't be an obsessive hater, people fight each other, but I'm grateful to all of them and I hope they watch a bit more dryly and enjoyably. Of course people can dislike me. There are many YouTubers who aren't entertaining. Like Pani Bottle, for example," and he frankly added, "It might not suit your taste and it might really be unfunny. Objectively too. It could be a bubble."
He asked people not to get overheated, saying, "Sometimes I think it might be okay to just pass by without watching. To be honest, I don't know if there are 'Kim Seon-tae stans.' People who are 'Kim Seon-tae stans'? Why? But if there are people called 'stans,' even those people should also, just a little. I'm not saying they shouldn't be grateful. I just hope not everyone burns out."
