He continued, "I will soon clearly organize and post my position," and added, "Those who post unverified malicious comments or videos will be held legally responsible."

Earlier that day, MBN reported that a famous YouTuber in his 20s with 1.2 million subscribers, referred to as Mr. A, was arrested on the spot for unlawfully entering his ex-girlfriend Ms. B's house, assaulting and threatening her, and was sent to the prosecution.

According to the media, Mr. A unlawfully entered Ms. B's house last December, and at the end of February, he was arrested on the spot on charges of repeatedly hitting Ms. B's face.

The police who responded to the report found Mr. A hiding behind a curtain inside the house with Ms. B's blood-stained clothes, but Mr. A denied the assault charges.

After the article was published, online speculation identified Mr. A as YouTuber Woori, prompting Woori to post a statement.

However, the statement has since been removed from the YouTube community.
