The Rise and Fall of Anjeon Gajog (Safe Family)

Original date: September 30th, 2021

If you are wondering what happened to the webseries and want to know more about this series, then here's an explanation of what is Safe Family, otherwise known as Anjeon Gajog (안전가족).

Safe Family was a series of Korean videos created by the Korea Fire Service and was shown often on every schools in South Korea. The main characters of the series consists of Haengdong Kang (강행동), his parents Seonbong Kang (강선봉) and Haebi Jun (준비해), and his grandmother Joeon Myung (명조언). There are several supporting characters in this series, especially Haengdong's friend Yeongho and their teacher who has no other known name.

However, according to Namuwiki, there was a theory that Jahyung Gu (구자형) was the voice actor of Seonbong Kang but he debunked it by saying that he isn't the voice actor of the character, and it was assumed that Yeongho was voice acted by Jungun Yang (양준건), who was miscast as him but his mature voice is unsuitable for characters who are elementary school students.

Back in October 2020, the South Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security took down the fanmade videos, fanart, meme videos and playlists except for the English dubs which was still left intact as of 2021.

Recently, since as of late 2020, YTP YouTubers are moving on making content out of other series like the Korean flash webseries Chocohana (초코하나) and the Korean manhwa and anime series Black Rubber Shoes, and their own original content like Safe Family.

That's all I have to talk about Anjeon Gajog. However, to the South Korean Ministry of Public Safety and Security, this is a journal to let anybody know about this series. Please do not take it down. Thanks.
