A unique part-time job posting offering 1 million won per day for deboning chicken attracted 17,000 applicants. Only two positions were available, resulting in a staggering competition ratio of 8,500 to 1.

According to industry sources on August 5, the recruitment notice for "Chicken Bone Deboning Expert," which closed on August 3, garnered explosive attention with a cumulative view count of 460,000. The final selected candidates are scheduled to be announced on August 6.

This event is a virtual recruitment promotion jointly organized by JobKorea and Albamon in collaboration with the chicken brand Puradak, seeking a "Chicken Bone Deboning Albamon" and a "Chicken Bone Deboning Expert." It is not an actual hiring process but a virtual experience event designed for the summer Sambok (Chobok, Jungbok, Malbok) season, utilizing the "chicken" keyword for the announcement. The event was created to allow more consumers to experience the appeal of the "Ilpum Kanpung" chicken, launched on July 17.

The selected part-timers will receive a daily wage of 1 million won and a voucher for one "Ilpum Kanpung (bone-in) Chicken." The preferred qualifications for applicants, which added a fun twist, included: ▲ those who pride themselves on being chicken connoisseurs ▲ those who enjoy "chimaek" (chicken and beer) after work ▲ those who are often told, "You eat very efficiently" ▲ those who prefer people who are good at deboning chicken.

This type of unique recruitment event is not the first of its kind. Previously, in June, JobKorea and Albamon collaborated with Ediya Coffee to hold a virtual experience event for "Watermelon Seed Removing Albamon" and "Seed-Removed Watermelon Gourmet Researcher." At that time, about 61,000 people applied, and the cumulative view count exceeded 300,000. Participants could receive various rewards, such as a daily wage of 1 million won, by posting reviews of their part-time experience on social networking services (SNS). A JobKorea representative stated, "We plan to continue introducing events that provide enjoyable and beneficial experiences for both part-timers and job seekers."
