Iljutor posted a lengthy post on his YouTube bulletin board on the 15th and repeatedly apologized for inappropriate comments he left in January.
In January, he wrote an inappropriate comment regarding the MBC workplace harassment case. The speculative remarks, written only by looking at the fragmentary parts, were very rash words and actions that could hurt the bereaved families as well as the deceased"He confessed.
"What is more shameful is that he wrote comments without fully considering them, knowing better than anyone how hurtful and painful such rash words and actions can be for someone..." he said, expressing a deep apology to the deceased and their bereaved families.
The reason I haven't uploaded YouTube content so far is that after I did something big, I felt so ashamed of myself on the screen. I'm not a good person in person, but I felt ashamed of myself for pretending to be such a good person on the screen."
I also sincerely apologize to the viewers who would have been disappointed by my rash words and actions. I will be more mature and act more carefully so that I can give you a little bit of positive energy," he added.
Last yearShortly after Anna was reported to have made an extreme choice after complaining of bullying in the workplace, Iljuter was embroiled in a controversy after posting comments defending Kim Ga-young, a weatherman suspected of bullying the deceased at work.
At that time, he said "Gayoung had a hard time at the time because she couldn't protect Oyo Anna.""Oyo Anna would never want to post comments like this." I may be nosy, but I'm worried about Ga-young and wish her repose even though it's a short relationship." At the time, as public backlash intensified, Iljutor posted an apology, and did not post new content on the YouTube channel for about four months.
Oyoanna has been an MBC weatherman since 2021 and died in September last year. Controversy continued as the will of the deceased, which was later released by the bereaved family, contained specific details that he had been bullied by certain colleagues. The bereaved family filed a civil lawsuit against a weatherman colleague A in the Seoul Central District Court in December last year, and the first hearing date is scheduled for July 22.
Recently, the Ministry of Employment and Labor acknowledged that Oyoanna was bullied by her colleagues, but said that the anti-bullying rule in the workplace under the Labor Standards Act does not apply because she is a freelancer. Shortly after the announcement of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, MBC reportedly terminated the contract with A and re-signed with other weathermen involved in the bullying controversy.
The following is the full text of the article left by Iljooter.
Hello, I'm Kim Juyeon from work.
In January, I wrote an inappropriate comment regarding the MBC workplace harassment case. The speculative remarks written by looking at only the fragmentary parts were very rash words and actions that could hurt the deceased as well as the bereaved families.
What's more shameful is the fact that he wrote a comment without fully considering it, knowing better than anyone how hurtful and painful such rash words can be to someone. Once again, I deeply apologize to the deceased and the bereaved families.
If you've been watching my channel for a long time, you'll know, but I shoot alone and edit it alone. This is because I believe that making a video to look as same as my actual self as possible without pretending to be myself on the screen can show my honest self to viewers.
But after I made a big mistake, I felt so ashamed of myself on the screen. I'm not a good person in real life, but I felt ashamed of myself for pretending to be such a good person on the screen. I'm also sincerely sorry to the viewers who must have been disappointed by my rash words and actions. I will be more mature and act more carefully so that I can give you a little more positive energy again.
Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the viewers for making me face up to my mistakes and reflect on them. Thank you and I'm sorry.
