MBC’s variety program Omniscient Interfering View spotlights Jimubi, the country’s top film-review creator with 3.97 million subscribers, as he opens up about his company’s perks. Earlier reports said Jimubi moved into a luxury apartment complex where G-Dragon and BTS live.
In tonight’s (the 11th) episode — the 393rd of Omniscient Interfering View — the show welcomes main editor Noh Hyeong-jun, who works with Jimubi, to reveal what he calls a dream workplace. Along with a clear work-life balance, the company offers unusual perks you rarely see elsewhere, including an incentive program that has paid as much as KRW 10 million (about $7,500). For aspiring creators, the program hints there’s an especially irresistible benefit — the episode teases what that might be.
A private advance screening arranged exclusively for Jimubi also drew attention. Studios contact him up to six months before a film opens to coordinate preview schedules and request reviews, underscoring his top-tier standing in the industry. The episode also reveals a chronic occupational quirk of being a film reviewer: because watching movies is his job, Jimubi rarely goes to the theater just for fun. Still, he surprised the panel by saying the last film he saw in a theater was The Man Who Lives with the King.
Even a top creator with an annual income in the hundreds of millions of KRW (approximately $75,000) can’t escape parental nagging. When Jimubi’s parents visit, they unload a stream of affectionate complaints: “Don’t eat snacks like that,” “Are you still working until dawn?” and “Why don’t you eat vegetables?” The father even tried running his own channel to understand his son’s work better — a move that touched the show’s panel. Later, watching the father’s channel, Jimubi delivers blunt feedback, promising a funny moment on the program.
The episode also shares a humorous backstory from before Jimubi’s face was widely known: people once mistook him for “the bald guy.” When scheduling conflicts kept him from attending an awards ceremony, his father accepted the award on his behalf — and afterward a rumor spread that Jimubi was that bald man. Even now, comments jokingly calling him “the bald guy” pop up online, adding extra laughs to the family scenes.
Catch Jimubi’s varied life — toggling between professional company head and the son getting parental advice — on Omniscient Interfering View tonight (the 11th) at 11:10 PM KST.
