"Full Score in Korean Geography from Watching ChungTV"...Chungju City's Symbol Appears in CSAT
Symbol Mark of Chungju City Featured in CSAT Questions
Thankful Comments from Examinees Continue in Community
The symbol mark of Chungju City, Chungcheongbuk-do, featured in the city's YouTube channel 'ChungTV,' has become a hot topic after appearing as a passage in the 2024 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).
On the 17th, Chungju City's official YouTube channel ChungTV posted on its YouTube community the previous night, introducing question number 4 from the Korean Geography section of the 4th period social studies exam, with the caption "CSAT hit! Is it you again? GOAT."
This question asked students to locate the region described in the passage on a map, featuring descriptions reminiscent of Chungju such as "multipurpose dam" and "enterprise city," along with the Chungju City symbol mark.
Examinees subscribed to ChungTV found it somewhat difficult to answer using only the descriptive passage, but those familiar with the Chungju City symbol mark from regularly watching ChungTV said it helped them solve the question.
Subscribers left comments such as "It seems the CSAT question setter is a ChungTV subscriber," "Thanks to ChungTV, I got a perfect score in Korean Geography," and "I once saw a video of Officer Kim Seontae dancing related to the dam, so I think watching that helped me get the answer right."
As of 2 p.m. on the 17th, ChungTV's post had received over 14,000 likes, showing widespread agreement.
Chungju City's official YouTube channel ChungTV is a popular channel with about 479,000 subscribers, the largest among local government and public institution YouTube channels.
The secret to its popularity lies in producing fun and candid B-grade content rather than stiff municipal promotional videos. Recently, it has gained recognition by cleverly parodying trending incidents such as Fifty Fifty and the Jeoncheongjo case, delivering Chungju-related information quickly and informatively.
