YouTuber Kim Seon-tae Donates Car for Just $2.50

김선태, known as "Chungju Man," has gained attention for donating his car to a 24-year-old father with a sick child. On May 29, Kim shared the process of selling his vehicle, which he had driven for nearly a decade, on his YouTube channel.
According to a valuation from a professional platform, Kim's car was appraised at 5.5 million won (approximately $4,600). However, instead of selling it for that price, he chose to give it to a subscriber with a special story.
The recipient is a young father raising a toddler suffering from kidney disease, who urgently needed a vehicle for his child's outpatient treatment. The subscriber had commented that he wanted to buy the car for 870,000 won (about $700). After hearing his story, Kim decided to sell the car for just 2,500 won (approximately $2).
Additionally, Kim gifted the subscriber diapers and wet wipes worth 870,000 won to match the amount he had hoped to pay for the car.
In a comment on the video, the subscriber expressed his gratitude, stating, "It has been about two weeks since I received the car, and I am really enjoying it. I feel guilty that I should be giving a gift, but I am more thankful than anything."
After the video was released, viewers praised Kim, with comments like, "What a great guy," "Thank you for your positive influence," and "The car filled with diapers was the best part."
