Despite his apology, the aftermath, such as the departure of advertisers and requests to cancel the collaboration, is spreading out of control.
On the 5th, the omnivorous dinosaur posted a post on his Instagram disparaging certain areas of Jeollanam-do, sparking controversy over regional discrimination. The area was where Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea won 89.04% of the votes in the 21st presidential election, and criticism intensified due to mixed political intentions.
As the controversy grew, he posted an apology on the YouTube channel community. "There were local demeaning and politically biased expressions in my post, and I caused inconvenience to many people." I grew up in a biased environment from an early age and became biased. It was an act of ignorance", he explained.
In addition, omnivorous dinosaurs donated 5 million won to the May 18 Memorial Foundation, adding that "I know that contribution does not eliminate wrongdoing.", but public opinion was cold.
Sponsors moved quickly, too.
The ice cream brand `Lalasweet' offers a deep apology to those who are hurt"I firmly oppose discrimination, even though it is not true.
Bang Joo-hyun, CEO of a multinational food brand 'Rabbit Dining' that collaborated with omnivorous dinosaurs, directly commented on the apology and said "We paid an expensive advertising fee to proceed, but only suffered damage." I asked for a full refund of the collaboration video and advertisement fee, but I didn't read it and there was no answer."
Currently, the YouTube, Instagram, and blog accounts of omnivorous dinosaurs have been deleted or completely closed to the public.
He is a creator with about 180,000 subscribers, and he gained popularity with his 'B-class sensibility' mukbang content, which introduces restaurants in dinosaur costumes. However, it is said that even YouTube's lifeline is in jeopardy due to this incident.
