'Chungju Man' Kim Seon-tae submitted his resignation, leading to an unprecedented situation where 220,000 subscribers were lost. With his departure, which symbolized the promotion of Chungju City, attention is focused on the Presidential Office as a potential next destination.
Recently, Kim hinted at the possibility of a position change due to a change in the authority figures during an appearance on a YouTube channel. At that time, he mentioned, "There was a call from a high place," and left a mysterious impression when asked, "Is that high figure President Lee Jae-myung?"
In fact, it has been confirmed that Kim, who submitted his resignation on the 13th, met with Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik, adding weight to the 'Presidential Office hiring rumors'. There is growing interest in whether he, who led the innovation of public institution promotions, will take on a new public relations strategy for the central government.
Meanwhile, the official YouTube channel of Chungju City, 'ChungTV', took a direct hit due to Kim's departure. The sharp decline in subscribers immediately after the resignation news clearly shows the absolute importance of key personnel in local government promotions.
It remains to be seen whether the uniquely creative Kim will start a challenge on the new stage of the Presidential Office from March or pursue an independent path.
