YouTuber Iljooeter (real name: Kim Joo-yeon), who was embroiled in controversy for allegedly defending someone suspected of being a perpetrator related to the workplace bullying controversy surrounding late Oh Yoanna, an MBC weather caster, apologized again to the bereaved family.
On the 15th, Iljooeter posted on the community of her channel, saying, "In January, I wrote inappropriate comments regarding the MBC workplace bullying incident. The speculative remarks based only on fragmented parts could greatly hurt not only the deceased but also the bereaved family, and were extremely careless words and actions."
Iljooeter noted, "What is even more embarrassing is that I know better than anyone how much such careless remarks can hurt someone and cause pain, yet I did not consider that enough when writing the comments. I sincerely apologize once again to the deceased and the bereaved family."
She continued, "Those who have been watching my channel for a long time may know, but I film and edit by myself. I believe that creating videos that look as much like my real self as possible, without artificially decorating my appearance, can show viewers my honest self."
However, after I made a huge mistake, my appearance on screen felt very embarrassing. The real me is not a good person, but I felt shame because I was smiling in front of the camera pretending to be kind. I sincerely apologize to the viewers who were disappointed by my careless words and actions. I will mature and act more cautiously so that I can provide at least a little bit of positive energy again.
Finally, I sincerely thank the viewers for helping me to face my mistakes and reflect. I am grateful and sorry.
Below is the full statement.
Hello, this is Iljooeter, Kim Joo-yeon.
In January, I wrote inappropriate comments regarding the MBC workplace bullying incident. The speculative remarks based only on fragmented parts could greatly hurt not only the deceased but also the bereaved family, and were extremely careless words and actions.
What is even more embarrassing is that I know better than anyone how much such careless remarks can hurt someone and cause pain, yet I did not consider that enough when writing the comments. I sincerely apologize once again to the deceased and the bereaved family.
Those who have been watching my channel for a long time may know, but I film and edit by myself. I believe that creating videos that look as much like my real self as possible, without artificially decorating my appearance, can show viewers my honest self.
However, after I made a huge mistake, my appearance on screen felt very embarrassing. The real me is not a good person, but I felt shame because I was smiling in front of the camera pretending to be kind. I sincerely apologize to the viewers who were disappointed by my careless words and actions.
Finally, I sincerely thank the viewers for helping me to face my mistakes and reflect. I am grateful and sorry.
