YouTuber Kwak Tube is facing the biggest crisis. Ironically, he was directly hit while defending Lee Na-eun, who was suspected of bullying, after gaining favor and support for her confession of school violence.

On the 16th, a video titled 'Return's Happiness Travel' released on the YouTube channel 'KwakTube' showed KwakTube and Lee Na-eun's travel to Rome, Italy.

The two had a conversation over a meal together, and Kwak Tube was surprised to see that he was sensitive whenever he talked about school violence, but immediately blocked (Lee Na-eun). But when I saw an article that said no, I unlocked it. You already knew. I've never talked about it in front of my face, but I felt sorry for a lot. As a victim of (school violence), I talked a lot, but it was a bit weird because it seemed to harm people who were misunderstood."

Lee Na-eun "I thought she wouldn't be upset, but she misunderstood me like that and blocked me on her own. I was upset that there were so many people like that. It was very sad."

As a result, some criticized that Kwak Tube was trying to help Lee Na-eun wash her image. That's because Lee Na-eun was suspected of bullying Lee Hyun-joo in a group with the same team members during her April activities. DSP Media, the agency at the time, sued Lee Hyun-joo, his brother, and alumni for defamation, but the police made the final decision not to send them. Police said it is true that in the case of April bullying, Lee Hyun-joo suffered from bullying within the group and that there were tumblers and shoe incidents at the time of April activities, and the complainant admits that there was such a fact.

Kwak Tube has been using his life story as a selling point, saying that he was a victim of a school violence but survived firmly. The picture of him defending Lee Na-eun and making 'Forgiveness by proxy' even though he was not the victim was opposed by many.

In the end, Kwak Tube apologized, saying, `I will think deeply so that my personal feelings do not become everyone's position,' but it was not enough to hold the public's mind, which turned its back once.

Netizens complained and filed complaints that the Ministry of Education's school violence prevention campaign video starring Kwak Tube was not appropriate, and the Ministry of Education eventually closed the video on the 17th. In addition, a complaint was filed to reconsider the operation of the 'Kwak Tube Travel Talk Concert' to be held in Busan on the 28th.

Lee Na-eun will appear in the drama I Shopping.
