Ulsan Office of Education Surpasses 10,000 Subscribers on Official YouTube Channel

Cumulative Views 2.5 Million

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has reached 10,000 subscribers on its YouTube channel after more than four years since its launch.

Although Ulsan’s Office of Education was one of the last among the 17 metropolitan and provincial education offices to open a YouTube channel, videos that add fun to educational content have attracted attention, causing the number of views to increase rapidly, with a cumulative total of 2.5 million views.

Instead of one-way information delivery, the channel aims for participatory videos where students and staff appear directly to provide reliable information. The introduction of various formats such as documentaries, web dramas, challenges, mukbang, and shorts seems to have increased interest.

The ecological environment education web drama "The Double Life of Earthlings," produced by Ulsan Office of Education in 2021, has accumulated 180,000 views, and the 2022 video supporting the recovery of daily life by the Ulsan student band Poem, titled "We Start Again," recorded 116,000 views.

The cyberbullying prevention web drama "Shadow Room," produced in 2022, recorded 138,000 views and was included in the school violence prevention educational material "Spending a Year with the Harmony Program - High School," produced by the Korea Education and Research Information Service.

The documentary "People of Our School," which captures the daily lives of school members, was selected as an excellent program by the Korea Cable TV Broadcasting Association.

In the first half of this year, a cheer video for the National Youth Sports Festival held in Ulsan recorded 82,000 views, promoting Ulsan education nationwide.

Since last year, the Ulsan Office of Education has also established and operated an official Instagram account, reaching 7,400 followers within a year and a half of its launch. The reels cheering for the National Youth Sports Festival held in Ulsan have recorded 194,000 views.

The city education office operates a Naver Band, which other education offices do not run, to communicate not only with students but also with various age groups. Naver Band is mainly used as a communication tool among middle-aged and older adults.

This year, efforts are being made to promote various school news using the Ulsan Education Reporters Group, composed of citizens, and Naver Blog.

An official from the Ulsan Office of Education said, “We will continue to promote various policies of Ulsan education and strengthen communication through innovative content directly involving the educational community.”
