"It's a survivor, not a victim."

Tzuyang's channel, which had 10.1 million subscribers, surged 200,000 subscribers to over 10.3 million within two days of her tearful confession.



The public was on Tzuyang's side when she revealed with lawyers what she had suffered from her ex-boyfriend, explaining rumors directly that she had been threatened by YouTubers called the `Lekka Union.'

Netizens are "survivors, not victims." Thank you for hanging in there" "I'm sorry I didn't notice you" "4 years is 1460 days, and 3,800 assault recordings are every day, not once every day, but several times every day." "It was nothing.

Earlier on the 11th, Tzuyang expressed her position on YouTube Live about claims that she was threatened by some YouTubers called 'Lekka Union' and extorted money under the pretext of the past.

When Tzuyang asked her to break up with her ex-boyfriend A when she was taking a leave of absence from college, she threatened to distribute illegal filming videos and was beaten with umbrellas"I recalled the time when it was like hell. Mr. A took Tzuyang to the bar where he worked, forced her to work, took all the money she earned, and threatened her with a hidden camera video when he asked her to break up.



Tzuyang said she didn't like working at a bar, so she said she would do a broadcast, and when she became a broadcaster, she created an agency and signed an unfair contract of 7 (ex-boyfriend) to 3 (Tzuyang). Tzuyang asked 'I can't stand it, 'I'll give you all the money, please leave', but the answer that came back was 'I'm not satisfied with this'. I've always said, 'It's thanks to me anyway, all your money is mine'. With the help of the employees, we have proceeded with the complaint."

Tzuyang, who was abused up to twice a day, released photos of 3,800 recordings and transfer details through her lawyer.

Tzuyang's lawyer, Kim Tae-yeon, said "Tzuyang suffered a lot of damage, so he filed the first criminal complaint with me for 0,000 years, including requesting settlement money, termination of exclusive contract, filing a trademark application, etc., for habitual assault, habitual intimidation, habitual injury, racketeering, coercion, and violation of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act."Afterwards, the former CEO of the agency came to our company and earnestly asked for leniency, and promised not to comment further on the matter." However, the former CEO of the agency violated the agreement, and Ms. Tzu inevitably proceeded with the second criminal complaint. He expected punishment of more than five years in prison because there were many allegations"However, after that, the former CEO of the agency unfortunately came to an extreme choice, and eventually the criminal case was closed with the decision not to send 'no right to prosecute'."," he said, paying attention to secondary damage to bereaved families and others.

Later, an explanatory broadcast of the so-called 'Cyber Lekka' that threatened Tzuyang's past as an excuse followed. According to the recordings released by the YouTube channel Horizontal Sero Research Institute, foot-and-mouth disease planned to receive hundreds of millions of won with the national team under the pretext of Tzuyang's past history. In fact, Tzuyang reportedly signed a contract worth 55 million won with foot-and-mouth disease. Caracula agreed with the opinion of foot-and-mouth disease and encouraged the extortion of threats.

According to the Kyunghyang Shinmun, the prosecution allocated cases against YouTubers suspected of threatening or participating in Tzuyang to Criminal Division 3 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. Those suspected of threatening Tzuyang include foot-and-mouth disease, national march, and caracula belonging to the 「Lekka Union」.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission also stepped up. At the subcommittee meeting on the 11th, Chairman Ryu Hee-rim mentioned a YouTuber suspected of receiving money on the condition that it did not reveal Tzuyang's past, saying, `The committee should also come up with measures against YouTubers who make money from sensational and violent content", pointing out the problem.
