According to a media outlet on the 17th, Woori Bank recently completed filming for Kim Seon-tae's YouTube channel.

Kim Seon-tae, who was previously the public relations officer for Chungju City, resigned on February 13th and launched a promotional YouTube channel with the slogan "Promoting everything in the world." The channel received an explosive response, surpassing 1 million subscribers just two days after its launch.

On the 11th, Kim Seon-tae mentioned on his YouTube channel, "Many people offered to give me gifts," adding, "I don't need such gifts. Instead, give me advertisements." He further piqued interest by saying, "You must be curious about what the first advertisement will be, so stay tuned." This has led to curiosity about why he chose Woori Bank as his first collaboration partner.

As of 6 PM on the 17th, the 'Kim Seon-tae' YouTube channel boasts 1.46 million subscribers. On the 9th, a document titled 'Kim Seon-tae (YouTube) Channel Introduction' spread online, sparking controversy over the channel's top advertising rate, rumored to be 100 million won.
