[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CU announced on the 17th that it will release the convenience store web variety show "Ssweoperman Season 2" on its official YouTube channel, CUTube.

Ssweoperman is a variety show content featuring singer and entertainer Defconn dressed as Superman, selling CU's popular products tailored to citizens he meets on the street, based on the world's first mobile convenience store concept. The first episode of Ssweoperman, which premiered in June, recorded 30,000 views within three days of release, and the total views across major social media channels reached 2.5 million.

While Ssweoperman Season 1 featured episodes with people Defconn met by chance in Seoul, Season 2 selects keywords such as hardship, coexistence, and hometown for each episode, with Defconn visiting various people to share stories. The fourth episode, to be released this time, is set in Euljiro. Given that the area has many office workers and small business owners, Defconn recommends coffee and energy drinks to tired office workers and a hearty meal to small business owners who missed their mealtime.

Ssweoperman Season 2 will begin airing on the 17th and will be uploaded to CUTube every two weeks. The 30-second teaser video for Ssweoperman Season 2, released on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram on the 10th, surpassed 80,000 cumulative views within a week of upload, with about 10,000 subscribers participating through likes and comments.

A BGF Retail official said, "CUTube is loved by subscribers through various content such as web variety shows, New Product News introducing new products, and CU Times showing product manufacturing processes," adding, "We will continue to strive to present diverse and unique content targeting the tastes of the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z)."
