Of the YouTube channels designated as [Korea], the number of YouTube channels with 100,000 to 1 million subscribers is 3378 YouTube channels with 1 to 5 million subscribers and 329 to 5 million YouTube channels with 19 to 10 million subscribers is 14.
There are many feelings of being biased toward the fun of excluding professionalism such as food-eating channels and beauty, health, etc.Koreans who are tired of work and life seem to be comforted by this fun and conceptlessness.Some seem to have vicarious satisfaction in the daily lives of thugs (from hanksters) and in their world, which is difficult for the general public to experience.
Now, famous celebrities are joining together to create their own channels.
Experts (lawyers, professional athletes, and professional technical fields) also approach their respective fields with different visual interpretations and interpretations focused on viewers.
It has often been seen to watch and subscribe to channels of Korean YouTubers, lead broadcasting with subjective views that are too unfiltered, and convey false views and knowledge to ordinary viewers and subscribers. Legal disputes often arise over the delivery of such partial information and the abuse of certain people.It is agreeable and grateful to let us know and watch information, fun, and daily life in this generation, but I am worried that the series of tasks and actions of YouTubers to create and broadcast content is biased toward profitable and stimulating content.
I think work in our lives should have future vision, means to lead the present, and a sense of accomplishment, but due to the digital and Internet development of the current generation, there is even a concern about the flood of spectacles and contents. Interactive Generation AI (Artificial Intelligence) Chat GPT craze continues. There are a series of media reports that cite AI and robots as promising fields. In Korea, there is also news that the movement related to “Chat GPT” has begun in earnest.
The Korean-based interactive generation AI market, including travel accommodation reservations, medical information, golf course search, coding learning, and video education, is rapidly growing by Korean star startups. When Apple’s iPhone came out, Samsung started chasing. With the ‘fast follower’ strategy, it has achieved achievements that are on par with Apple. Recently, when Apple Pay landed, Samsung Pay is busy trying to protect the domestic market by joining hands with Naver and Kakao. Even when Yahoo and Google encroached on the global Internet search market, the Korean market was dominated by domestic portals. Wal-Mart, a global retailer, was also helpless in front of native E-Mart. In light of this, Chat GPT, combined with Korea’s potential as an IT powerhouse, digital affinity of users, and development of its own large language model (LLM), is expected to surpass the power of English-based global AI, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google’s Bad, and Photoshop master Adobe’s “Firefly.”
It is also worrisome that startups armed with various ideas and experimental spirit will disappear and only a few large companies with capital and convenience will remain, eroding the domestic market as in the past. Protecting personal information and blocking false information faced by global companies are also essential tasks for Korean-based AI to overcome. It is also a reality that there are many positive factors as a future-oriented solution
