PD Lee Seok-ro has changed his name.

On the 26th, Lee Seok-ro posted on his personal SNS, "I'm truly a bad omen, but I have changed my name," along with his name change application form.

According to Lee Seok-ro, the reason for the name change was the possibility of a short life due to the number of strokes in the Chinese characters. Lee Seok-ro added, "The judge changed it. The name remains the same: Seok-ro."

PD Lee Seok-ro serves as the representative of Creative Bibeom, a production company, and produces YouTube channels for Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Ji-hye, Jang Young-ran, Choi Hwa-jeong, Baek Ji-young, Kim Young-chul, Son Tae-young, Han Ga-in, Noh Hee-young, Seonwoo Yong-yeo, Ryu Iseo, and Seo In-young.

Recently, he drew attention by directly addressing allegations of viral marketing. Lee Seok-ro stated that all YouTube channels he manages are only entertaining in the early stages of their launch, but as time passes, they become saturated with indirect advertising such as PPL, making it impossible to avoid negative perceptions.

Seemingly aware of this, Lee Seok-ro recently explained on an online community, "Our company never engages in viral marketing. When I see comments supporting me and our channels, I am at a loss for words. I always keep your criticisms regarding advertising in mind. Since advertising is essential for the continuous production of content, I would be truly grateful if you could view this with understanding. Instead, we will carefully test and select only trustworthy products to authentically present them. Please just give us a little understanding."
