A creator who used to be a Chungju man, Kim Seon-tae, said "I have no work," but that was not true, and the video was a promotional video.
On the 11th, a video titled "Kim Seon-tae promotion" was posted on the Kim Seon-tae YouTube channel.
In this video, Kim Seon-tae said he was getting by day by day and frankly admitted he was in a difficult situation, saying, "I don't have a lot of work, and actually it's peak season. Seasonally it's peak season, but it seems like we are in a rather cold winter."
Regarding the company atmosphere, one employee said someone quit and candidly said, "When you watch 'Titanic' or something, the mice are the first to get out. Isn't he one of the mice? He's trying to survive. I didn't think the treatment was bad or anything like that. From the employee's position, it might be unpleasant."
Kim Seon-tae said that his main work is checking mail and revealed he recently received a lecture offer. He said, "I'm turning down lectures right now. I've kept declining because I want to focus on YouTube content, but circumstances have changed and I'm thinking about giving lectures. Seeing a lot of news coverage, lecturing doesn't seem bad."
Especially, Kim Seon-tae said he is currently handling an advertising request and bowed in gratitude to the advertiser. He said, "To be honest, I've been a bit arrogant these days. I'm going to work earnestly to regain my initial intention," he said. He confessed the advertisement was a difficult request, and when asked why he accepted it anyway, he said, "My throat is at the mercy of others."
For about eight minutes, Kim Seon-tae talked about himself the whole time. He did not specially promote any particular product and appeared to be sharing his difficult situation. In response, his close friend, travel creator and broadcaster Ppanibottle left a comment saying, "All right, Seon-tae, let's work hard."
But it turned out the video was not Kim Seon-tae simply lamenting that the company was struggling; it was a promotional video. It was a V-profile promotional video showing his video to the phone counterpart.
The advertiser explained, "We are holding an event for those who want to set up various V profile videos comparable to Seon-tae's masterpiece(?)." Kim Seon-tae said the advertising request he was handling this time was not an easy one, but he pretended to promote himself and produced an advertising promotional video.
Netizens marveled, saying, "He's really shrewd," "I found out it was a promotional video by reading the comments," "He's a real genius," and "Kim Seon-tae is different."
