Kim Ho-young apologizes following cyberbullying of minor YouTube guests
Broadcaster and musical actor Kim Ho-young and the production team of his YouTube channel, ‘Too Much Kim Ho-young’, have issued apologies following malicious comments directed at minor participants in a recent video.
The controversy stems from a ‘Jamsil Cafe’ episode featuring students practicing traditional Korean music. The production team reported that while the students participated cheerfully, certain accounts began unauthorized distribution of the footage accompanied by inappropriate and malicious comments.
In response, the production team has set the affected interview segments to private and is working to delete them to prevent further harm to the students and their families. They have also announced intentions to take legal action and report accounts involved in the unauthorized distribution and cyberbullying to relevant platforms. Kim Ho-young expressed his apologies on social media, stating he felt responsible for the distress caused to the young participants.
