"This will kill a real person." Controversy over Kwak Tube, is this something to do?

Sep 24, 2024

Kwak Tube controversy is showing no signs of abating.

On the 24th, the Asan Peak Time Festival, which was scheduled to appear, finally notified Kwak Tube's agency on the 27th that he could not appear at the event considering both the artist and the organizer's recent situation. The organizers also understood the situation after much consideration and reached an agreement smoothly."

The appearance of the "2024 National Youth Festival Peak Time Festival" held at Shin Jeong-ho Outdoor Music Hall in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, was also canceled on the 27th. On the previous day, 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 video of the Ministry of School Violence Prevention and Education campaign involving Kwak Tube was suddenly closed to the public.

EBS 'Kwak Jun-bin's World Knight's Restaurant 3' is preparing for production with the aim of airing in 2025 as scheduled. However, MBN 'Prefectural Plan Season 2' is not participating in the recording yet.

Kwak Tube became controversial on the 16th when he posted a video of Lee Na-eun and her trip to Italy on the YouTube channel 'Return's Happy Travel' and made remarks that seemed to defend Lee Na-eun. In the video, Kwak Tube responded to Lee Na-eun's controversy over her past school violence, saying, `I'm sorry about something. At that time, I was sensitive whenever I heard about school violence. The victim did something about the perpetrator, so I was surprised to see it and blocked you." Then I saw an article that said it was not " (academic). So I solved the misunderstanding, but you already knew it. I've never talked about it face to face, but I felt sorry for a lot. As a victim, I talked a lot, but I felt like I was causing harm to people who were misunderstood, so it was kind of like that."

Kwak Tube said "There were a lot of articles, but I saw the explanation later. There aren't many explanatory articles. Anyway, I became famous, and I thought that people only see issues than I thought. I'm sorry for you, so I'm going to have a fun trip I wanted to go with you, but you were happy to come," he added.

Since then, Kwak Tube has been criticized for advocating Lee Na-eun and for his theory of 'proxy forgiveness' that he ended the controversy on his own.

Of course, the controversy over Lee Na-eun has not yet been resolved. It is clear that Kwak Tube made a mistake in the YouTube video, which has millions of views. However, will this issue drive Kwak Tube to this extent. Kwak Tube has already made an official apology two times. However, voices criticizing Kwak Tube indiscriminately are increasing.

In a cold way, Kwak Tae-tube accused him of giving 'proxy forgiveness', but he just said his thoughts. Kwak Tube never said that he would replace the public's forgiveness. While we were close to each other, I said I was sorry to see the explanation article, but it snowballed like this.

Kwak Tube was imprinted in the public as a victim of school violence. He may have touched the public 'reverse' with a friendly atmosphere with Lee Na-eun.

However, Kwak Tube himself did not commit school violence. We have seen a lot in the entertainment industry how much excessive online criticism is difficult for the person concerned.
