[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] The content ‘Eomni! Gatchiga’ on the YouTube channel ImsilN TV, managed by Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, has recently gained great popularity by bringing fun and laughter with the video titled ‘Finally! We visited Okjeongho Suspension Bridge’.

According to the county on the 1st, the cast of ‘Eomni! Gatchiga,’ including a local resident nicknamed ‘Narugang’ and comedian Oksimi, uploaded a video on the 23rd of last month crossing the Okjeongho Suspension Bridge, a new tourist attraction, to visit the suspension bridge at Bung-eo Island in Okjeongho.

As of the morning of that day, the video has recorded 12,592 views and 124 comments within a week of being uploaded, reflecting the popularity of the suspension bridge.

Following the opening on the 22nd of last month, the Okjeongho Bung-eo Island Suspension Bridge, which has attracted about 370,000 visitors in just over a month, is also hosting a ‘Suspension Bridge Acrostic Poem’ event along with promotional videos.

The ‘Suspension Bridge Acrostic Poem’ event was prepared to encourage subscribers of Imsil-gun Office’s YouTube channel to participate in promoting and supporting the Okjeongho Suspension Bridge.

Comments on the acrostic poem event include creative phrases such as: ‘Chul: The suspension bridge sways and shakes / Leong: It’s scary and awkward but a special and enjoyable experience / Da: Next time, I will come with my family / Ri: Imsil is wonderful, full of such joy,’ and ‘Chul: Climbing onto the suspension bridge / Leong: My butt wiggles / Da: Everyone wiggles together / Ri: Where else is there such a fun place? Everyone, come visit Imsil.’

To participate in the event, subscribers must subscribe and like the ImsilN TV YouTube channel, leave an acrostic poem comment, and send a participation verification photo to the person in charge via email.

This year, thanks to the popularity of the new ‘Eomni! Gatchiga’ content, ImsilN TV’s subscriber count has increased by 6,447 from 4,674 to 11,121, showing a 137% growth rate.

Since its launch in March, ImsilN TV’s ‘Eomni! Gatchiga’ has uploaded several videos including ‘A trip to Bung-eo Island with Eomni,’ Osu Gyeong Tourist Site, Imsil Cheese Theme Park picnic, and freshwater snail experience, accumulating a total of about 450,000 views.

In particular, the live broadcast of the festival site featuring the local resident ‘Narugang’ and comedian Oksimi during the Imsil N Cheese Festival recorded about 14,000 views, helping to drive the festival’s success.

The county is producing and providing differentiated content about Imsil-gun’s beautiful scenery, travel, local culture, and festivals through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, KakaoTalk, and other platforms, widely promoting the county’s positive image both domestically and internationally.

It is also expected to actively contribute to revitalizing the local economy through tourism brand promotion and to open the era of ten million tourists in Imsil-gun.

County Governor Shim Min said, “The Imsil-gun Office SNS has greatly contributed this year to publicizing the county’s Cheese Festival and the opening of the Okjeongho Suspension Bridge nationwide, attracting numerous tourists. I thank the staff who actively participated in SNS promotion to publicize the county’s tourism brand nationwide and the users who have shown interest in SNS.”
