Kwak Tube originally planned to participate in the '2024 National Youth Festival Peak Time Festival' held at Shinjeongho Outdoor Music Hall in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do on the 27th, but he was recently absent due to controversy.
Earlier, Kwak Tube was embroiled in criticism that he defended Lee Na-eun, whose alleged bullying of members has not been resolved.
Lee Na-eun was embroiled in allegations that she collectively bullied member Lee Hyun-joo to leave the team during her April activities. At the time, the prosecution said "It is true that Lee Hyun-joo was suffering from bullying within the group and that there were tumblers and shoe incidents during April activities."
However, Kwak Tube made a statement defending Lee Na-eun on his channel on the 16th, appearing in a video called 「"Return Mr. Preparedness's Happiness Travel". At the end of the video, Kwak Tube told Lee Na-eun "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm sensitive to school violence. I blocked you, but I was so sorry to see the explanation article laterLee Na-eun apologized, saying, `It was upsetting and sad that there were so many people who really misunderstood and blocked me.'
Kwak Tube, who suffered as a victim of school violence, but became more popular for his growth as a travel YouTuber after overcoming his pain, sparked controversy over his support for Lee Na-eun, and Kwak Tube eventually canceled his appearance at the travel talk concert of the 『Busan International Travel Fair" scheduled to be held in Busan on the 28th, and missed the first recording of MBN"Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2" recently.
