Omniscient Interfering View (The Manager / 전지적 참견 시점)

We guarantee Saturday night's fun.

Let's begin The Manager.

Let me introduce today's interferers.

They're in love with food. Shin Gi Ru and Poongja.

He's in love with science. A science communicator,

- Orbit. - Hello.

And this civil servant is in love with Chungju.

Chungju-Man, Kim Seon Tae.

(BTS of Chungju, a world-class civil servant, Officer Kim Seon Tae)

(Chungju's Best Three: Chungju Lake, Chungju Apples, and Kim Seon Tae)

(He directs, edits, and acts all on his own...)

(to produce promotional videos of Chungju.)

(with 9.6 million views about social distancing,)

(all the videos he uploads hit a few million views.)

(The channel has the most subscribers among government agency channels.)

(It achieved an outstanding result of 650,000 subscribers.)

(He's the first person the shows and YouTubers want to cast.)

He's actually on The Manager.

- There's a civil servant on The Manager. - A civil servant.

The first civil servant to appear on our show.

Hello.

I'm the best star civil servant,

the king of Chungju, Officer Kim Seon Tae.

He says that he's the king of Chungju...

so naturally.

- Actually, Chungju-Man, - Chungju.

the YouTube channel subscribers...

I was shocked to see this.

Yours is the highest among all local governments in Northeast Asia.

- Yes. - Really?

- We totally beat Japan. - Gosh.

- Japan is a lot more populated, - That's right.

- but even more than Japan. - That's amazing.

A lot of agencies are trying to follow Chungju-Man...

- and do something similar. - They're trying.

But they can't do it as well as he does.

- He's a celebrity. - He's so cool.

Do you only make content related to the city on the channel?

Normally, yes.

But we don't like to talk just about the city.

We try not to do a conventional promotion at all.

(He makes parodies of various popular memes...)

(and creates promotional videos for the city of Chungju.)

(He creates promotional videos for the city of Chungju.)

(Recently, he congratulated "Exhuma" on attracting 6 million viewers.)

To be able to create an impact in such a short amount of time,

one must have incredible ideas.

Why did you congratulate "Exhuma" on attracting six million viewers?

You see,

Chungju is in one of the movie scenes.

- Really? - No wonder.

Which scene?

But no one knows where it is.

No one knows?

- It wasn't the main location. - But Chungju was in the movie.

It wasn't the main location,

but one of the mountains was in Chungju.

I filmed the video to promote that mountain.

Talk about a clever idea.

When I first met him, he was a ninth-grade civil servant.

- Now, you're at grade six. - That's right.

- He was promoted. - Was that a super speedy promotion?

Of course. Among local civil servants,

a promotion this fast is irregular.

How long does it normally take...

for one to go from grade 9 to grade 6?

Normally, it takes 15 years.

How long did it take for you?

Eight years.

(In 8 years, he went from grade 9 to grade 6.)

I hope you don't find this rude, but could you reveal...

- your annual salary? - Our salary is public knowledge.

That's how it is for civil servants.

My net salary...

- is around 40,000 dollars. - Your net salary.

- I'm in my eighth year. - Your after-tax salary.

If you were to be recruited by a private company,

would you jump ship?

I have already received a few offers.

A company PR team would want him on board.

Of course.

Someone with his ideas and editing skills.

I was offered a salary that is 2 to 3 times...

- my current salary. - Of course.

But I wasn't interested.

- Really? - Why not?

You never wavered once?

Not yet.

That's because...

I'm working alongside the city of Chungju.

I believe that my work only shines...

because I work for that specific city.

- Because he's not alone. - He's not your average employee.

I'm amazed.

For the first time on The Manager,

we will look into the life of a civil servant.

This is the first time anyone is seeing his daily life.

(It's morning, and he's busy getting ready for work.)

- Milk. - What's this?

What?

- Milk? - What?

- Milk. - Goodness.

- Goodness. - Look.

- How sweet! - They're adorable.

No way. They're adorable.

Have a sip of milk.

(Their father with skinny legs watches them eat.)

(Officer Kim Seon Tae, the PR-Man of Chungju)

- You can tell they have kids. - Right.

(A neat living room and kitchen, and on the bookshelf is...)

It's giving me a different feeling...

to see the house of a sixth-grade civil servant.

"A regional product of Chungju."

- Someone drew that for me. - Goodness.

- You have many fans. - Of course.

(All I did was think outside the box.)

Hello.

I'm Officer Kim Seon Tae, the PR-Man of Chungju...

and the operator of Chungju's YouTube channel.

It's good to see you.

Were you born and raised in Chungju?

- Yes, I was born there. - It's your hometown.

(How did you get to open your YouTube channel?)

Here's how it is with civil servants.

We only do the work we're given.

- That's right. - That is correct.

That's a fact.

The mayor ordered it.

(The project order that gave birth to a legend)

(4 years ago, "The mayor ordered it")

(How am I supposed to operate a YouTube channel?)

(I'm busy as is with my current workload.)

(I will take a look around the mayor's office.)

(A review of the mayor's office got 850,000 views.)

Goodness.

(He was the first to review a mayor's office.)

He added in some slapstick comedy.

(Experiencing Chungju Penitentiary got 1.98 million views.)

- Goodness. - This was legendary.

- That's a penitentiary. - I'm more comfortable like this.

(Eating Hayashi rice at Chungju Sewage Plant)

- I remember this. - The colors are similar.

This was at a sewage plant.

- This was for real. - That's right.

(The Energy Conservation Project got 4.72 million views.)

(I was working hard for our citizens.)

(The unboxing of Chungju apples got 400,000 views.)

(He promoted the city with his clever ideas.)

- That's a lot. - I'm impressed with the ideas.

- You promoted the city. - You only had the city to go on.

(That's how you're promoting it? What a genius.)

I have full authority when it comes to the videos.

I plan, direct, edit the videos...

and I star in it myself.

Don't you need approval from anyone regarding the videos?

None at all.

- He does what he wants. - You're your own boss.

A manager?

I don't have one.

Well,

administrative work moves at a snail pace.

Administrative work moves slower compared to our fast-paced society.

From casting those on the show...

to answering calls and cleaning,

I have to do everything myself.

Yes, I am.

My eldest son is Hyun Woo who's six,

and my second son is Jung Woo who's four.

How adorable.

What made you think that?

It suddenly has me curious.

No, they take after me more.

Goodness.

My second son in particular...

is a spitting image of me.

- They look like their mother. - I agree.

- He's exactly like me. - He's like his mom for sure.

No, he's like his mother.

- He's just like me. - No, his mom.

I don't see you in him.

- He's like my younger self. - Really?

Show us a photo, then.

- Later on... - I can make that happen.

- Don't we look alike? - Who's this?

- This is me. - What's with the CGI?

You do look alike.

We get half our genes from each parent.

These days, we take turns taking the children to daycare.
