Kim Sun-tae, who worked as a "Chungju Man," revealed the behind-the-scenes story of his retirement.
MBC's "Radio Star," which aired on the 18th, was decorated with a special "Laughter Civil Service" featuring Boom, Moon Se-yoon, Nam Chang-hee, and Kim Sun-tae (formerly Chungju Man).
On this day, Kim Sun-tae said, "I thought I would retire one day, and my goal was to leave when I applauded. As I aimed, (Chungju City YouTube) reached 1 million subscribers, and I thought all the puzzles were solved, he said. "I got calls from agencies and various places, and I decided to do it alone. I was tired of belonging somewhere," he said.
He continued, "I focused on slightly important broadcasts rather than main broadcasts, and I couldn't sleep for 15 days because there were so many articles after leaving the company. The number of subscribers is just increasing, but it's actually a little scary. Even before posting the first video, there is something I am afraid of because the number of subscribers has increased," he said.
Kim Sun-tae, who was informed of the resignation earlier than expected, said, "I was originally going to inform you in two to three weeks, but the information leaked out. When I woke up after sleeping late due to the report, I got more than 400 missed calls. Originally, I was going to show you the process of leaving the company, but I had no choice but to upload a video of leaving the company in a hurry," he said.
He said, "In fact, I've received a lot of contacts and casting. It came from a private company, and the production company suggested that we do YouTube together. There was also talk of going to Cheong Wa Dae, but I didn't contact him, and I didn't review him. There was no specific proposal, but even if it came, I wanted to create content freely rather than in my organizational life. In fact, he is a funny person in the countryside, he added, "I continue to live in Chungju, and I have no intention of moving right away."
