Controversy surrounding YouTuber Park We

Overview

YouTuber Park We and his wife, Song Ji-eun, have faced significant online scrutiny regarding their family dynamics and past conduct. The controversy centers on videos from their channel, ‘We React’ or ‘Weracle’, specifically a Chuseok holiday gathering. Viewers alleged that Song Ji-eun was sidelined in favor of actress Yoon So-hee, a close family friend. Specific points of contention included the use of different tableware for Song and Park mentioning Yoon before his wife during a pre-meal prayer.

Additional criticism arose from resurfaced clips, including comments made by Park We regarding a desire for a son to ‘carry me around’, which some netizens labeled as gender-biased.

These incidents follow a separate August controversy in which Park We was criticized for his handling of CCTV footage involving a KTX wheelchair accident. Following that previous incident, Park apologized, suspended his channel activities, and resigned from his position as a Seoul City ambassador.
