Webtoon author Ju Ho-min directly explained why he does not appear on Chimchakman's broadcasts. He dismissed rumors of a rift and emphasized they are still close friends.
On the 3rd, in a video posted to the YouTube channel "DaniCho," Ju Ho-min was asked, "Is there a reason you don't appear on Chimchakman's channel?"
In response, Ju Ho-min said, "We're still close friends then and now," adding, "Considering the commotion or situations that would arise if I appeared, I don't think it would be beneficial for either of us."
He went on, "Chimchakman's channel is now approaching 3 million subscribers and continues to thrive even without me. In the past it felt like just my hobby; when it had 170,000 subscribers we shared the same studio and I appeared on the show for fun. Back then there was a modest joy and a goal of 'let's hit 1 million.' They eventually surpassed 1 million and now I think my part is done," comparing it to a SpaceX booster rocket.
Meanwhile, Ju Ho-min is continuing to face trial in connection with allegations that a special education teacher abused his son on the autism spectrum.
In the first trial he was sentenced to a fine, but the appellate court acquitted him after ruling that the "secret recording" lacked evidentiary value. The prosecution has appealed, and the case is awaiting a ruling by the Supreme Court.
