Ji Seok-jin Embarrassed by Political Algorithm Mishap on YouTube



During the promotion of the new song, broadcaster Ji Seok-jin was caught up in an unintentional 'political YouTube disturbance' and drew laughter.

On the 21st, a video titled 'promotion issue is an excuse' was released on the YouTube channel 'Out of the blue'. In the video, MC Yoo Jae-seok "Today's guests are here to promote." Two of you are working on a project group, one of you is in the underwear brand business, and the other of you has a new songMembers Ji Seok-jin, Ha-ha, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Ye-eun of SBS Running Man were introduced.

Ji Seok-jin and Ji Ye-eun formed a project group 'Chungjuji C' and released their first sound source 'MilkShake' (Feat. Onestein) to promote it. Ji Seok-jin started introducing the new song by playing the sound source on his mobile phone, but the video was suddenly stopped and an unexpected situation occurred.

The problem is that politics-related content was automatically played by the YouTube algorithm immediately after the disconnected video. After seeing this, Haha said "Politics YouTube is up. He joked that he knew the color of his brother, and Ji Seok-jin looked embarrassed and said, "No." I'm in the middle!," he explained in a hurry. Yoo Jae-seok also said, "Politics YouTube is coming out. I'm sorry. I hope there will be no unnecessary speculation and misunderstanding."

However, the political video was played again afterwards, and the atmosphere was devastated again. 'Out of the blue' side used a caption to mute the part so that it would not be misunderstood"It was election season as of the filming date, so the algorithm was full of political videos."I explained the situation.

In response, Ji Seok-jin "I'm sorry. If you touch your phone twice, you can go to YouTube," Ha-ha explained, "You don't look good with 'Milkshake'. You should have made an election song..." and caused another round of laughter.
