On the 23rd, the Busan International Travel Fair posted a notice on its official website to cancel the 'Travel YouTuber (Kwak Tube) Talk Concert' scheduled for 2 p.m. on the 28th.
The organizers will then inform you that the cancellation has been made due to unavoidable circumstances" added the phrase.
Although the organizers said 'unavoidable circumstances', the schedule was inevitably canceled due to recent issues, cancellation complaints raised, and concerns about questions or things that did not match the purpose of the talk concert.
The controversy was surrounded by criticism that Kwak Tube defended Lee Na-eun, whose alleged bullying of members has not been resolved, in a video on his channel on the 16th saying, `Return to the Happy Travel of Mr. Preparedness.' In particular, sharp eyes poured on Kwak Tube, who was a victim of a school violence in the past, saying, "Why are you forgiving on behalf of him?" and "Are you defending the perpetrator by saying that he is a victim of a school violence?"
As the controversy grew, Kwak deleted the video and "There were parts I missed without thinking deeply about."," he bowed his head.
Afterwards, Kwak Tube once again posted an apology on the 18th, saying, `We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to many people by the video of his trip to Italy released on the 16th.' After the video was closed to the public, he regained his senses and checked all the relevant situations and comments left by viewers. I deeply realize that my actions were ignorant and careless, and I am deeply reflecting on them," he repeatedly posted an apology.
As a victim of school violence, I still live with the scars. The size and shape of the wound may vary from person to person, but I was also a victim, so it was my pride that I thought I could understand the problem more than anyone else"I didn't think carefully that I was able to hurt the victims again due to my rash judgment. We sincerely apologize to the victims who have regained their past wounds due to this incident."
Kwak Tube controversy is still ongoing. The video of the Ministry of School Violence Prevention and Education campaign involving Kwak Tube was suddenly closed to the public.
