Famous travel YouTuber YANGalnam (hereafter YANGalnam) faced backlash online for illegally filming flight attendants.
According to reports from the entertainment industry on the 14th, YANGalnam uploaded a video titled 'There was an incident with the airplane seat' on his YouTube channel on the 14th, featuring a thumbnail that closely focused on the body parts of a foreign female flight attendant.
In the video, he expressed dissatisfaction by stating that he had issued a ticket from a foreign airline but did not receive a seat. In particular, he confirmed this by replying 'ㅇㅇ' (yes) to a comment questioning whether the thumbnail was intentionally provocative.
Online, criticisms quickly emerged, stating, 'He filmed a flight attendant's chest without permission. Isn't this illegal filming?' Additionally, comments such as 'Is he really that bold to engage in sexual harassment? Ridiculous,' and 'This amounts to committing a crime' were made.
As the controversy escalated, YANGalnam deleted the comment he wrote as 'ㅇㅇ' and changed the thumbnail. However, the face of the flight attendant was still visible, and it is reported that he is quickly deleting any comments that criticize him.
Meanwhile, YANGalnam, an English instructor and travel YouTuber, has 1.19 million subscribers. He has also published books such as 'The Truth About YANGalnam's English' and 'YANGalnam's Travel English.'
