The YouTube channel 'Sik University' has contributed in-kind donations to Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which is in trouble due to flooding.

A channel run by comedians Jeong Jae-hyung, Kim Min-soo, and Lee Yong-joo delivered goods worth 50 million won to the Yeongyang-gun Office after hearing the recent torrential rain in Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. After hearing the specific damage status from the Yeongyang-gun Office, they donated refrigerators, washing machines, fans, rice cookers, and televisions, which are urgently needed by families suffering from flood damage, as daily necessities.

'Sik University' conveyed its intention with a donation in the hope that it would be a little helpful to the Yeongyang residents who must have been discouraged by the sudden downpour.

Accordingly, the Yeongyang-gun Office said "Currently, cash deposit is not possible, so thank you very much for adding to the donation of goods. Once again, we deeply appreciate your concern and concern for this damage" also conveyed the position to Metacomedy.

Earlier in May, 'Sik University' posted a video of a visit to Yeongyang, Gyeongsang Province, and was embroiled in a controversy over 'regional degradation'.

The three people in the video are "If I'm a civil servant and I'm assigned here...He received public criticism for his out-of-the-line remarks "I'll stop here" and "I felt limited as a comedian".

On the 18th, a week after posting the video in question, Fisik University apologized, saying, `We apologize to all those who have been affected by our inexperience.'

The University of Pisik emphasized the concept of a quiet area even though there were many local attractions and used unreasonable expressions to bring fun to the content""It was delivered without filtration in a form that was difficult to accept as a comedy using rash expressions that lacked consideration for local residents and small business owners." "I visited the bakery and the restaurant in question by mentioning it directly in the contents and apologized, and the two presidents said there was no damage now, but I will check and help if there is any damage that may occur later.""We apologize to everyone who has been offended by our content. I am truly sorry for the displeasure and disappointment to many of you who watched us as a comedy channel, enjoyed watching, and supported us. The made-in Gyeongsang-do Yeongyang-gun episode will be closed to the public along with the publication of this apology," he added.

'Sik University' is currently continuously communicating with Yeongyang-gun and sincerely cooperating with each other.
