YouTuber Kwak Tube, who was supported by many netizens due to the school violence, received a backlash after defending singer and actor Lee Na-eun of 'bullying controversy'.

In addition, he even posted an apology to netizens' criticism, but Kwak Tube's public interest advertisement video to prevent school violence was closed to the public.

On the 16th, Kwak Tube released a video of Lee Na-eun from April and a trip to Rome, Italy. It was good until the two of them had a good time drinking beer and sharing fluttering with each other. The problem exploded at the end of the video.

Kwak Tube suddenly told Lee Na-eun, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding"I blocked you because I was sensitive to school violence, but I was so sorry to see the explanation article later.", he apologized.

The Lee Na-eun controversy mentioned by Kwak Tube is a bullying-led controversy within April. In the past, Lee Na-eun was embroiled in allegations that she collectively bullied member Lee Hyun-joo during her April activities. In 2021, Lee Hyun-joo's younger brother revealed to the online community that Lee Hyun-joo had left the team due to constant bullying within April. Lee Hyun-joo's younger brother claimed that he was bullied to the extent that he even made an extreme choice. \

Since then, DSP Media, which was an agency with Lee Na-eun and other members, has sued Lee Hyun-joo, Lee Hyun-joo's younger brother and friends for defamation, but all have been cleared of charges. The prosecution's judgment at the time was that "Lee Hyun-joo was suffering from bullying in the group and that there were tumblers and shoe incidents during April's activities, and the complainant admits that such facts were also true. The problematic content of the article written by the suspect is not a false fact as it does not deviate much from the main facts of the complainant and Lee Hyun-joo's life together in April" contains the content. Lee Hyun-joo, who was sued by April members such as Lee Na-eun, was cleared of charges of defamation.

However, Lee Na-eun told Kwak Tube, `I was upset and sad that there were so many people who really misunderstood and blocked me.' `I really met the person who blocked me, and I liked my brother so much. My personality fits me well and I liked it so much as a YouTuber. Now I understand."

Kwak Tube "There are a lot of articles, but I found out about the explanation later. Didn't I become famous, too. I thought people only looked at the issue. When I see you, I'm very young, but I feel sorry for you, so I thought I should make it fun. I thought you wouldn't travel with me, but I'm grateful that you did."

As criticism flooded in, Kwak Tube closed the video and immediately posted an apology. Kwak Tube said "There were some parts of this video that I missed without thinking deeply. I will think deeply so that my personal feelings do not become everyone's position. In the future, we will pay a little more attention to content production. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you watching the video."

However, netizens' criticism has intensified, and the Ministry of Education has privately processed Kwak Tu-view's public interest advertisement video to prevent school violence, leading to controversy.
