Produced Video Parodying Coach Hong Myung-bo's Press Conference
Content Promoting Support for Dementia Patients' Supplies Deleted
Kim Seontae, a public officer promoting the 'Chungju City' YouTube channel, has become a hot topic by parodying Hong Myungbo, the newly appointed head coach of the national soccer team. On the 16th, a short video was uploaded to Chungju City's official YouTube channel. In the video, Officer Kim said, "I really couldn't sleep for a long time while thinking about this, and I abandoned myself," adding, "Now, I no longer exist. There is only Chungju, Republic of Korea." He continued, "As a result, something from the proposal has started to emerge."

This video is a direct parody of the remarks made by Coach Hong Myungbo during a press conference held after the regular league home match against Gwangju FC at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on the 10th. At that time, Coach Hong said, "I abandoned myself. Now, I no longer exist. There is only Korean soccer," and added, "That is why I changed what I told fans about not leaving Ulsan." Following this press conference, on the 13th, the Korea Football Association board approved Coach Hong's appointment, and he officially began his role as the national team coach.
Notably, the witty background in this video also drew attention. Instead of the sponsor logos that were displayed behind Coach Hong during his press conference, Officer Kim had 'Traffic Policy Division' and other such labels in the background. Originally, the video ended with information about support for dementia patients' supplies, but this content was reportedly removed due to concerns that it might be perceived sensitively by dementia patients or their caregivers.
Officer Kim is known for promoting policies, events, and announcements by utilizing social phenomena or memes that attract public attention. The parody video of Coach Hong he posted this time is also receiving high interest. Netizens commented on the YouTube content with remarks such as, "Linking it with support for dementia patients' supplies was a masterstroke," "Chungju Hong(Myung)bo Man," and "They promote very well through interesting memes." On the other hand, some netizens posted comments like, "This is a bit much no matter what," "Many YouTubers have recently fallen from grace, and Chungju Man is also on the edge," and "This video feels somewhat uncomfortable."
