After finishing the last broadcast of 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' on TBS Radio, Kim is preparing a similar format show on YouTube.

'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' has maintained the number one radio listenership. The fandom of 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' greatly contributed to TBS achieving 1.51 million YouTube subscribers. There is also interest in how many subscribers 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Hard News Factory' will secure once the actual broadcast begins on YouTube.

Kim expressed his ambition to start with 300,000 subscribers before the broadcast, and that plan has effectively been achieved.

Considering that Kim's 'Ddanji Broadcasting Station' has 1.12 million subscribers, it is expected that the subscribers of 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Hard News Factory' will also increase further.

There is also curiosity about which guests will be invited to Kim's first broadcast on the 9th. Former Roh Moo-hyun Foundation director Yoo Si-min announced on the foundation's YouTube channel that he will be a guest on the first broadcast on the 9th. Many of the cast members who had connections during the TBS era are expected to appear in Kim's new show as well.

Kim met with listeners every morning on the TBS radio platform, which is widely listened to by bus and taxi drivers. If the broadcast moves to YouTube, the audience range is expected to be more limited than during the radio days.

The listener base is likely to be reorganized mainly around generations familiar with YouTube broadcasting. Whether the newly launched 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Hard News Factory' can maintain the influence it had during the radio era in this changed environment will be a point to watch.
