"‘I Will Create Content as a Manager’ Im Song Manager’s Surprise Transformation into a YouTuber"
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Suwan] Manager Im Song, who gained much love by appearing on 'The Manager', has transformed into a YouTuber.
Manager Im Song, who became famous as comedian Park Sungkwang's former manager through MBC's 'The Manager' (Jeonchamshi), recently launched the YouTube channel 'Im Song Channel'.
He revealed the reason for leaving 'The Manager' through his YouTube channel. Im Song said, "A manager is supposed to manage celebrities, but through the program, I received a lot of love. As a result, I also started to receive attention. I began to question whether it was right to do broadcasting work while working as a manager."
He explained, "At first, I didn't care, but after seeing malicious comments about my family, I wondered, 'Why should my mother have to hear such things because of me?' I also suffered emotional wounds from the malicious comments, and after much deliberation, I decided to walk the path of an ordinary life and expressed my intention to leave."
Regarding his recent status, he said, "A respected senior suggested that I try a healthier manager life while working together, so I joined a small startup company."
