These days, local governments upload a lot of entertaining videos to promote their regions, right? I heard one created by Goesan County in North Chungcheong Province is quite a hit?
Yes, it is a promotional video titled "Grandmother's Double Life" recently released by Goesan County.
It begins with the ordinary daily life of an elderly grandmother living in Goesan, but suddenly unfolds into a life full of twists, such as speeding on a motorcycle and transforming into a DJ at a senior center.
Shin Yong-sook, a 79-year-old local resident of Goesan, starred in the video directly, which also incorporates generative AI technology and a B-grade comedy sensibility.
The response has been explosive.
Within just two days of its release, it surpassed 1 million views and 30,000 likes, setting an all-time record for a single piece of content since the launch of Goesan County's official social media channel.
As the video went viral, the number of new followers also increased by more than 1,000.
Netizens reacted with amusement, leaving comments such as "Why hasn't this blown up sooner?" and "I should head to Goesan for my senior years."
