I really enjoyed watching Jang Sung-kyu's Workman on YouTube, so it's fascinating to see it released as a book! I think it would be the perfect gift for my nephew who is entering the upper grades of elementary school.
Most people have jobs and live by working! When I started my first job, I chose to be a designer largely because I thought it was the only career that would allow me to utilize my college major. However, after entering the workforce, I realized that there are many jobs within fashion brands besides design, and it was only then that I began to want to pursue other careers. In that sense, I thought "Workman: Reviewing Every Job in the World" was a YouTube channel with a very good purpose. By
“Workman” Reviewing Every Job in the World / Jang Sung-kyu's Workman I don't usually watch YouTube that often, so I would check out a few out of curiosity if someone recommended it or if it was quite popular. Among the content I watched that way, there is one that was so impressively funny and memorable that it stuck in my mind: Jang Sung-kyu's "Workman." It possesses a wide range of entertainment elements, combining humor and wit, while also clearly defining the theme of "every job in the
There are not many books that introduce the diversity of professions to teenagers. Countless jobs exist in the world. However, since the curiosity of teenagers wishing to enter these fields is not easily satisfied, the reality until now has been that they choose careers based solely on parental recommendations or coercion. Yet, noticeable changes are emerging that suggest it is time for a shift. Perhaps reflecting the recent mindset of youth, I came across a book that introduces various
With over 3 million YouTube subscribers, *Workman* is a channel I have long subscribed to and enjoyed watching. In particular, *Workman* is a YouTube program that possesses everything necessary for success, as it entertainingly introduces various jobs through part-time work formats, featuring Jang Sung-kyu’s witty, almost-bound jokes combined with clever editing and subtitles. I was especially delighted to open the book when I saw that *Workman* had been published in comic book format. This
A book that left me amazed by its epic vibe!! So many different jobs in the world?! I just couldn't resist a book like this~^^ I went on a trip to the bookstore for the first time in a while. This book was sitting right there on the new arrivals shelf. Two middle school girls passing by were opening Pandora's Box?! They kept giggling non-stop~ lol. You must be curious what kind of book it is, right?? So, today I’m showing some sense by deliberately taking a picture of just the cover~?! (By the
Workman: Reviewing Every Job in the World. Published by Houya Publishing and Studio Lululala (Planning by Hong Yong-hoon, Illustrations by Cha Hyun-jin). It is said to be described by three keywords: humor and practicality in a broad sense, and empathy, sincerity, and information in detail. Above all, since Workman is a popular series these days, my two children absolutely love this book. The content was made even more entertaining by realistic part-time job experiences and Jang Sung-kyu
You can experience Jang Sung-kyu's Workman in comic book format. It features various professions, along with more detailed explanations of jobs that couldn't be fully covered on YouTube. Encountering Jang Sung-kyu's playfulness and uninhibited words and actions in comic form was a refreshing experience. It is a book that combines professions, entertainment, and usefulness.
Hong Yong-hoon: Walkman
When looking closely at popular content, common elements include humor and practicality. In the case of the YouTube show *Workman*, three key keywords can be identified: humor and practicality broadly, and empathy, authenticity, and information in detail. Additionally, realistic part-time job experiences and Jang Sung-kyu’s well-timed, refreshing remarks as a one-day part-timer add to the viewing enjoyment. Jang Sung-kyu delivers inside jokes—spoken anecdotes that actual part-timers couldn't share with their bosses or employers—providing viewers with vicarious satisfaction. By visiting places people are curious about—such as amusement parks, barbecue restaurants, kids' cafes, fish markets, parliamentary aides, airlines, and dating app companies—and showing himself working there, the show naturally incorporates useful information by actively incorporating suggestions from comments about places viewers want him to try. The sight of him working just like real employees and receiving the same hourly wage evokes empathy among viewers. It is a popular content series that received a YouTube Silver Button just one day after launch, boasts a peak of 19.25 million views (as of early April 2021), and has reached approximately 3.8 million subscribers. When the channel achieved its first 10 million views in 2019, Jang Sung-kyu even shared a screenshot on his Instagram celebrating the milestone, along with the caption, “The birth of my first 10 million-view video. That means 20% of the country's population watched it. It's amazing.” ‘1 Million Subscribers Celebration: Epic Legendary “Inssa” World Final Boss Mob Everland Part-time Job Review Part 1 (feat.
