Actor Han Ga-in has continued her activities despite an unexpected controversy surrounding extreme mothers, and recently made the decision to suspend her YouTube channel. This is to have a time of mourning for those affected by the forest fires.
Earlier, Han Ga-in became embroiled in an unexpected issue, finding herself at the center of the extreme mother controversy. Comedian Lee Soo-ji posted a video titled "Human Documentary, Children Are Good EP.01 - As a Mother, Jamie's Mom, Lee So-dam's peculiar day" on her personal channel on the 4th, portraying the character of a mother named 'Jamie' from the Gangnam district's Daechi-dong private tutoring area, who is 35 years old.
However, during this process, a video from last October showing Han Ga-in, a mother of two children, riding for her children's school commuting and study was brought up, sparking discussions such as "Did Lee Soo-ji parody Han Ga-in's video?" and "Is this a video targeting Han Ga-in?" The portrayal of "Han Ga-in, who works hard for her children" experienced a complete shift in atmosphere following Lee Soo-ji's parody, becoming a target for negative comments. Ultimately, Han Ga-in's side had previously set that video to private on her YouTube channel.
Shortly after experiencing emotional distress from the extreme mother frame, Han Ga-in had to clarify about luxury looks amounting to several tens of millions of won. This was because a media outlet reported that the outfit Han Ga-in wore on the entertainment show tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" was priced at several tens of millions of won. In response, Han Ga-in clarified on her personal social media, saying, "Ah... All of these are sponsored. They are not mine," conveying a tone that seemed to express her frustration.
Despite various suspicions and controversies, Han Ga-in continued her YouTube activities. However, on the 27th, she suddenly announced the suspension of her YouTube channel. This is to have a time of mourning due to the news of the forest fires.
On the 27th, Han Ga-in's YouTube channel, "Free Woman Han Ga-in," stated, "We express our deepest condolences and words of comfort to those affected by the forest fires in Ulsan, Gyeongnam, and Gyeongbuk regions," and announced the cancellation of this week's web content video uploads. Han Ga-in also mentioned, "I hope to provide help to those affected by the forest fires, and we have donated the revenue generated from views since the channel's inception under my and the Nala-ri's names," certifying the donation details, which included a transfer of 50 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association under the name 'Han Ga-in and Nala-ri's.'
"Free Woman Han Ga-in" stated, "It is truly unfortunate that the forest fires are not easily contained due to the dry weather and wind. We sincerely hope for a quick extinguishment of the fires and express our deep gratitude to those who are working day and night to prevent further spread of damage."
Meanwhile, on the 27th, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters reported that the simultaneous forest fire incident in the Gyeongsang region on the 21st resulted in the death of 26 people, causing numerous casualties, and many celebrities are also engaging in donation activities for the forest fire victims.
