In a controversy sparked by footage from the 'Workdol' video that captured an agency issuing illegal passports, the production team of 'Workdol' hurriedly moved to manage the situation.
On 24th, the YouTube channel 'Workman' released a video titled 'I am a new police officer, am I going to Garibong-dong!?'
That day, 'Workdol' featured the appearance of Billy Tsuki, who experienced being a police officer in Garibong-dong. Tsuki, dressed in a police uniform, appeared in the video alongside two current police officers on patrol as part of the Garibong-dong police station, which is also the backdrop for the movie 'The Outlaws'.
While on patrol, Tsuki visited a mobile phone agency, and upon the appearance of police officers and production crew, customers hurriedly fled outside the agency. Once all the customers had left, a police officer remarked, "I will learn how to greet cutely and make sure they come in like that sometimes," creating a warm atmosphere.
However, after the video was released, criticism from netizens continued. There was backlash against allowing an idol who had not received professional training to experience a specialized job like the police, along with some scenes in the video that stirred controversy.
Under the sign of the agency featured in the video, there was a large banner that read "非法照" (illegal passport card issuance) and "照通" (passport issuance), drawing attention. There are continuing critiques that the production team's negligence led to a store publicly displaying illegal activities without any restraint, appearing prominently in the broadcast.
As the scandal grew, the 'Workdol' team stated in a comment on the 28th, "We have forwarded the details of the specific stores you reported to the relevant police station, and we have deleted the corresponding segment from the video."
