Driving channel success with rapid 5 million view milestone

Conversations capturing a slice of office life

The video depicts work instructions and overtime situations common in the workplace. Jinse, one of the cast members, is requested by a supervisor just before leaving work to develop image drafts for a new product launch plan. The supervisor instructs, saying, "The image drafts will be done quickly if you use Adobe Firefly," while encouraging him to rest over the weekend before leaving.

Subsequently, the video shows Jinse, left alone, processing the work by ordering delivery food and utilizing AI tools to generate images. Jinse uses AI models to perform tasks, such as creating a warm atmosphere for the background or removing a campfire to present a luxurious house. In the latter half of the video, the supervisor, who was thought to have left, returns to the office and offers advice as a senior colleague, saying, "Working overtime isn't something to brag about; if you judge by work capability, it means you lack capability." O.WHEN's 'Because It's the First Time' was used as the background music for the video.
