Previously, for about two weeks from the 20th, only for the introduction of the Yeongyang-gun region and the promotion of the festival,'Fish University' has produced and released special contents such as preview highlights and tourist attractions promotional videos every day in the style of'Fish University'. It has already changed the logo of the university to nutrition. In addition, 'Fish University' will continue its activities as a public relations ambassador representing Yeongyang-gun by producing a large number of special contents for the famous regional festival of Yeongyang-gun,'Yeongyang Pepper H.O.T Festival'.

'Sik University', which had about 3.18 million subscribers before the controversy, currently has 2.87 million subscribers, with about 310,000 leaving. For Yeongyang-gun, 2.87 million YouTube channels are at the forefront of promoting Yeongyang-gun, so the county governor also came out and produced an interview video.

Meanwhile, 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...The subscriber breakaway relay began with public criticism with remarks that crossed the line, "'I felt limited as a comedian.'"

On the 18th, just a week after posting the video in question, the Pisik University apologized on the 18th "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. The made-in Gyeongsang-do Yeongyang-gun episode will be closed to the public along with the publication of this apology," he added.

But the response from subscribers was cold. The number of subscribers plunged from 3.18 million to 2.87 million, and the number of views also plunged to one-tenth of the previous one.

Attention is being paid to whether 'Fisik University', which chose to break through head-on with Yangyang-gun's promotion, will succeed in making a comeback once again.
