YouTuber Eom Eun-hyang invited writer Im Seong-han as the first guest on a live broadcast. However, because the meeting was conducted only as a phone interview rather than an in-person meeting, controversy arose over clickbait tactics, and Eom Eun-hyang expressed her feelings after the broadcast.
On the morning of the 18th, Eom Eun-hyang posted a long message on her personal channel saying, "I am writing this because I want to speak to subscribers on the way home after the live."
Eom Eun-hyang acknowledged, "During today's live, there were as many negative reactions such as 'I was disappointed today,' 'that was too much clickbait,' and 'I can't watch this' as there were words of support. There were many comments saying my hosting skills are immature and that I should never do a live again. All of your opinions are correct."
She continued, "And that is me. I was nervous, but that is also who I am," and said, "I am someone who likes to draw attention. I am someone who wants to joke around and make people laugh with quips. I wasn't angry; it was my comedic tone... today was simply a failed day."
Eom Eun-hyang said, "I saw comments saying I succeeded excessively despite not having the skill. That's right—actually I am such a shabby person. So imagine how hard it must have been to get this far," and added, "Because I lacked skill, I struggled a lot. Now that people have seen my true self because of today, I am glad and feel I can put down the burden."
She added, "The thought that I must be perfect always made things hard for me, but now that everyone knows I'm shabby, I will freely make shabby videos from now on. This is not a power play; this is my sincere feeling."
Finally, Eom Eun-hyang concluded, "Next time I hope for a day when I can do a live comfortably without clickbait, and I will be someone who makes entertaining videos."
Meanwhile, although it had been announced that writer Im Seong-han would appear on Eom Eun-hyang's live the previous day, viewers expressed anger after it was revealed an hour into the broadcast that it was a phone connection rather than an in-person appearance.
