On the 18th, the official Chungju City YouTube channel 'Chungju-si' uploaded a video titled 'Chungju-si Lee Junseok.' As of 5 p.m. on the 19th, the video had garnered 230,000 views, becoming a major topic. The short 8-second video shows 'Chungju Man' Kim Seontae sleeping while leaning on a man's shoulder inside a circular bus.

The video was produced to promote the introduction of the Chungju City circular bus. At the end of the video, the caption read, "You can even sleep! Circular bus introduction." The video is presumed to be a parody of the photo of Lee Junseok sleeping soundly on the subway, which recently went viral on various online communities and social networking services (SNS). Lee appeared on CBS Radio's 'Park Jaehong's One-on-One Match' and apologized and expressed gratitude to the citizen who lent their shoulder, saying, "Sorry for making your tiring commute home even more tiring."

In response to Chungju City's video, Lee commented, "The Lee Junseok YouTube channel always welcomes joint broadcasts with the Chungju City YouTube channel," adding warmth to the interaction.

"Where do these ideas come from?" "They parodied it really quickly," and "Are they aiming to enter politics now?"
