Travel YouTuber Guak Tube (real name Gwak Jun-bin) has moved his office to improve the working environment for his employees.

On the 27th, a video titled "Gwak Jun-bin, who became a father, and his new car travel" was uploaded to Guak Tube's YouTube channel.

Guak Tube revealed Gwak Company's new office. The video featured not only the employees' workspaces and pantry but also Guak Tube's personal room as the CEO.

He explained the reason for the relocation. "The previous office was an attic, so employees complained that it was cold in winter and hot in summer," Guak Tube said. "This time, we moved to a place that is comfortable to work in and close to a subway station."

Guak Tube prioritized the convenience of the employees who use the office the most when searching for a new location.

Revealing that three employees directly looked for the office, Guak Tube said, "I thought it was not right for someone who does not come to work to decide on the office." "I come out about three times a month, excluding travel. I mostly edit at home, so I hardly come in at all," he added.

This consideration by Guak Tube draws attention as it contrasts with controversies over employee treatment involving some YouTubers.

Previously, travel YouTuber Wonji faced criticism after revealing a windowless office of about 6 pyeong (approximately 20 square meters) on the second basement floor in a video titled "Found a 6-pyeong office" last November.

On the 21st, allegations surrounding kids' YouTuber Hae Jini were made public. A person who identified themselves as a former employee of Kids Works claimed to have worked 16 hours a day without overtime pay while receiving an annual salary of 20 million won.

However, Hae Jini's side refuted the claims, stating that there were no issues with the compensation system at the time of hiring and that the annual salary had subsequently been increased by 25%. They also stated that they guaranteed work autonomy, including coordination of working hours and remote work.
