The internet media outlet 'Jeon Han-gil News', founded by Jeon Han-gil (real name Jeon Yu-gwan), a prominent instructor in Korean history, has officially launched. It garnered significant attention right after its launch, causing its website to crash.
On 19th, Jeon shared a video titled 'What Jeon Han-gil Will Do in the Future' on his YouTube channel, along with his website address and goals.
Jeon mentioned President Yoon Suk-yeol's declaration of a state of emergency, claiming that 'the numerous impeachments by the Democratic Party of Korea led to a paralysis of state affairs, and the media exacerbated that situation.'
He stated, 'Due to politically biased reporting and fake news, the public has become confused, and we have come to know numerous issues that we were previously unaware of,' adding, 'In this crisis, countless citizens have cried out to defend liberal democracy and have developed a mindset of overcoming all the issues.'
He continued, 'The central force that led this was precisely the generation of those in their 20s and 30s, the youth,' and noted, 'Deciding to become a media outlet was to capture the aspirations of these young people and citizens.'
Additionally, he mentioned that his personal YouTube channel 'Flower Than Jeon Han-gil' is struggling, stating, 'Just a month ago, videos were getting at least 1 million views, but recent videos have not even reached 100,000.'
He explained that 'the conclusion after much deliberation was to establish a media outlet,' detailing aspects such as the media registration certificate, website address, standards, and goals.
Jeon presented 'integrity' as the standard for his media outlet, asserting, 'Citizens are brainwashed by leftist media and cannot see the truth,' and emphasized, 'To defend liberal democracy, I will operate the media outlet to confront leftist media, become a strong standard for rightist media, and strive for national unity.'
Meanwhile, the launched 'Jeon Han-gil News' website has seen a surge of users, making access difficult. When accessing the site, a message appears on a white background stating, 'Jeon Han-gil News is preparing to open.'
Netizens reacted to the video in the comments, expressing sentiments like 'The server crashed,' and 'I can't even sign up.'
