The brutality of "cyberwreckers" (a general term for controversial YouTubers who create gossip and other content for the purpose of increasing views and making profits) is once again being discussed, and prosecutors have stepped in.
This comes after some YouTubers were named as having threatened mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang using his past as an excuse.
Recently, Tzuyang, who has over 10 million registered users, complained about the dating violence and exploitation she suffered from her former boyfriend, Mr. A, for the past four years.
The reason why Tzuyang had to make this confession was because a recording was made public by some YouTubers known as "cyberwreckers."
The recording includes conversations in which they threaten Tzuyang using his past as an excuse and discuss how much he will receive.
In response to this, suspicions were raised that the YouTuber in question had received money from Tzuyang in exchange for keeping quiet.
It was shocking to discover that BER had signed a contract with Tzuyang's Management Office worth 50 million won (approximately 5 million yen).
After these facts were made public, Internet users expressed their anger.
The atrocities of the "cyber wreckers" have been hot topics many times in the past. The recent Tsuyang incident was also revealed during a dispute between the cyber wreckers, and the matter in question
The YouTubers mentioned in the case have been criticized for being keen to avoid responsibility rather than offer a sincere apology to the victims.
On the 11th, a citizen who was angry about the use of Tzuyang's past to make money filed a complaint with the prosecution against YouTube.
The complaint filed a complaint against Uber, asking them to punish the company for allegedly blackmailing the company. The case was then transferred to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office within a day, and the prosecution, which began the investigation, said that Yoon-soo, who was mentioned in the recording,
The government plans to thoroughly investigate whether the YouTuber actually planned to extort money from Tzuyang. If found guilty of blackmail, the offender faces up to 10 years in prison or 20 million won (approximately 2.5 million yen).
The legal profession believes that this case is likely to be recognized as a case of blackmail, and the fact that the circumstances have been discussed by many people and revealed, raises the possibility of a special blackmail case.
Kim Tae Yeon, a lawyer representing Tzuyang, said, "More than a year has passed since the (Mr. A's) case ended, and we had no intention of making this public. There were no prior discussions.
The recording was released without any prior notice and our position was not reflected." He also said that Tzuyang is currently in a difficult situation and has responded to the YouTubers who were mentioned in the incident.
The Broadcasting Review Board also said, "We have not yet decided how to respond. We will announce our opinion in the future."
The Broadcasting Review Committee must also come up with measures to deal with YouTubers who make money through this."
In the battle between cyber wreckers, innocent tzuyangs have become victims, and they will be severely punished.
Many people are interested in what will become of this situation.
