A popular YouTuber, Kwak Tube (real name: Kwak Jun-bin), who revealed that he was a victim of bullying in the past, has sparked controversy with comments that seem to defend Naun from April amid bullying allegations, and has once again posted an apology. On the afternoon of the 18th, Kwak Tube posted a long comment through the community of his YouTube channel, stating, 'At the time I made the video private, I was confused and scared, and my thoughts were focused on quickly posting an apology. Now, I will write this with a calmer mind to convey my feelings.' He continued, 'I sincerely apologize for making many people uncomfortable with the upload and subsequent privatization of the video about Italy on the 16th (Monday).' He added, 'After making the video private, I collected myself and read each comment left by viewers regarding the related content. I realized that I was ignorant and reckless, and I deeply reflect on that.' He explained the situation of posting the video, saying, 'I thought Naun was a bullying perpetrator and blocked her, but after reading the verdict article, I felt I had misunderstood and felt sorry. In the midst of that, I happened to get to know Naun and, without thinking of anything else, my feelings of apology took precedence, so I suggested a trip to Italy.' He also reflected, 'As I have revealed in various media, as a victim of bullying, even now, I carry wounds like dirt. The depth and traces of those wounds differ from person to person, but because I have wounds myself, I thought I understood this issue better than anyone else, which was my arrogance.' He further stated, 'Due to my arrogant and wrong judgment, I could not thoughtfully consider that I might inflict new wounds on the victims. I sincerely apologize to those victims who may have been hurt again due to this incident, as it is my responsibility without any room for explanation.' Kwak Tube concluded, 'Through this incident, I felt a lot of my shortcomings and reflected on them. From now on, I will be more responsible and cautious to avoid actions that might hurt someone. I will not forget that I am here today thanks to everyone's interest and encouragement, and I will reflect on myself. I sincerely apologize again for causing concern during the Chuseok holiday.' Thank you for reading this long message.
