Former 'Chungju Man' Kim Seon-tae admitted that he received a love call from Cheong Wa Dae.

On the 27th, a video featuring Kim Seon-tae and Panibottle was uploaded to Chimchakman (Lee Mal-nyeon)'s YouTube channel.

That day, Chimchakman asked Kim Seon-tae, "There were also reports that Cheong Wa Dae sent you a love call after you resigned from your civil service position."

Kim Seon-tae replied, "I was not approached with a specific position; they simply asked if I was interested."

He continued, "There was no tempering involved. It was just one interview with Cheong Wa Dae after I had decided to resign."

Kim Seon-tae said, "I had several such interviews with other organizations as well. My agency also reached out. In a way, various paths were open to me."

Upon seeing this, one netizen commented, "Cheong Wa Dae was just testing the waters." Chimchakman then explained on Kim Seon-tae's behalf, "It wasn't just a test. They inquired about his interest and were ready to discuss further, but since Kim Seon-tae declined, the process did not proceed."

Meanwhile, Kim Seon-tae began his public service career as a Class 9 civil servant in September 2016. He was promoted to Class 6 in late 2023, more than seven years after entering public service, but resigned in February.
