Guje-yeok was recently indicted and detained on charges of extorting tens of millions of won by threatening popular mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang. Along with YouTubers Karakula (35, real name Lee Se-wook), Jujak Gambyeolsa (32, real name Jeon Guk-jin), and Crocodile (39, real name Choi Il-hwan), he organized the so-called "Cyber Rekka Alliance" to commit these crimes. Guje-yeok not only targeted Tzuyang but also produced videos containing false recordings about Nana. Furthermore, while on a call with Kim Se-ui, the head of the YouTube channel "Garosero Research Institute," he reportedly spread malicious rumors about Nana's private life.

Meanwhile, on the 14th, the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office Criminal Division 2 (Chief Prosecutor Jung Hyun-seung) and Criminal Division 5 (Chief Prosecutor Cheon Dae-won) indicted YouTubers Guje-yeok and Jujak Gambyeolsa on charges including extortion against Tzuyang. Additionally, YouTuber Karakula was indicted and detained for aiding Guje-yeok's extortion crimes and for threatening AfreecaTV BJ A to extort 30 million won. YouTuber Crocodile was also indicted without detention for aiding Guje-yeok's extortion crimes alongside Karakula.

The first trial for Guje-yeok is scheduled for the 6th of next month at the Suwon District Court, Criminal Division 14, presided over by Judge Park Yi-rang.
