YouTuber foot-and-mouth disease (real name Lee Joon-hee), who is suspected of threatening eating YouTuber Tzuyang (real name Park Jung-won), denied the allegation again, saying, "The sales for the past month were 100 million won."

In an interview with the media outlet Sisa Journal on the 16th, the foot-and-mouth disease said, `We apologize for the revelation of Tzuyang's past due to poor cell phone protection.' `However, the claim that Tzuyang extorted 55 million won from Tzuyang through threats is not true at all.'

Earlier on the 15th, Tzuyang said she had directly sued YouTubers such as foot-and-mouth disease, national diagnosis, and crime research institutes, claiming that she had threatened him to extort money. The prosecution launched an investigation into the foot-and-mouth disease after being accused by a YouTuber before Tzuyang expressed his intention to sue.

Foot-and-mouth disease came to light in the past that Tzuyang had worked at an entertainment establishment, saying, `I only listened to Tzuyang's agency crying and asking for help, but I betrayed him in a moment.' In a meeting with Tzuyang's agency director B and PD C, he gave up his mind to produce the video after hearing the shocking story that Tzuyang was sexually exploited by the former CEO. I was offered 'Let's do things with us' at this meeting, he claimed.

Director B and PD then cried and asked for a hero's psychology. So, I accepted it on the condition that I receive 55 million won in service fees including VAT for one year. I understand that the service cost was set considering the fact that I received about 5 million won per advertisement at the time."

Foot-and-mouth disease "The remaining net profit is about 15 million won considering VAT out of 55 million won in service costs. If you include food expenses spent to get close to people who are trying to shut up, you have spent more money."

In the meantime, "The sales for the past month were 100 million won. Of course, it was the highest sales ever, but it usually earns between 15 million won and 30 million won, including advertising revenue. It is not worth 15 million won. As mentioned earlier, director B and PD only listened to it because it was too much to be complacent."

In addition, in the transcript released, regarding the foot-and-mouth disease's remarks to the national team and others, such as "200 million should be received""Don't burst it, let's pull it by a few thousand," he claimed. "You can see from the back of the recording, but my remarks were just a joke."

In response, lawyer Kim Tae-yeon, the legal representative of Tzuyang, said 'Tzuyang's agency first sought help' refuted the allegations of foot-and-mouth disease, saying, "'It is completely different from the truth and it is right that it was threatened.'

Earlier, Tzuyang's side said, `Tzuyang was completely placed in the position of 'Eul', and he was forced to curry favor with YouTubers who threatened in a clever way under the pretext of revealing their privacy, and eventually had to write an unwanted contract.'
