YouTuber Pungja is conducting the web entertainment 'Ttoganjip,' which has boldly moved forward with an unprecedented video deletion, editing, and re-uploading due to a manipulation controversy sparked by a falsehood from a participant.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel 'Studio Soojay' re-uploaded the video of 'Ttoganjip' Anyang edition. This has sparked interest as it was a re-upload after deleting the original 'Ttoganjip' Anyang edition that was revealed on the 25th.
The original 'Ttoganjip' Anyang edition surpassed 900,000 views in just two days since its release and was close to reaching '1 million views.' Nevertheless, the decision to delete and edit the video felt sudden.
The background of this was the 'manipulation controversy' stemming from the falsehood of a participant. In the latter part of the 'Ttoganjip' Anyang edition, a restaurant, which was recommended by a participant, was selected as the top restaurant of the day. However, after the broadcast, it was revealed that the participant was actually a family member of the owner of the restaurant they recommended.
'Ttoganjip' is web content that finds specific areas where locals introduce restaurants they have actually visited. Pungja, who is active as a YouTuber and broadcaster, has been hosting the show and has received consistent love for about three years.
In particular, 'Ttoganjip' verifies again and again whether the participants introducing the restaurants are not family or acquaintances of the restaurants to maintain the program's identity and fairness. In the deleted video, Pungja was also seen asking the participant, "Are you family or an acquaintance of the restaurant?"
Nevertheless, the participant at the center of the controversy denied during filming that he was a 'family member of the restaurant.' He explained that the mistake arose from "not knowing accurately about the program through comments on the 'Ttoganjip' Anyang edition" when the controversy emerged.
As a result, public opinion formed in defense of the production crew of 'Ttoganjip,' who were misled by the falsehood of the participant. Reactions included comments such as, "What crime did the production crew commit?" and "They lost everything despite surpassing 900,000 views."
In the meantime, the 'Ttoganjip' team stated that they plan to re-shoot the 'Anyang Edition' and release it as soon as possible. Above all, they emphasized, "Ttoganjip has not accepted a single restaurant advertisement in the past three years, and we want to make this clear to our viewers again."
