On the 25th, Dindin said on social media that `the situation is currently out of contact with the part-time study team' and"we have learned that most of the victims are students or job seekers.' The campaign was judged to have a positive purpose and similar services existed, making it difficult to anticipate such a situation", he explained.
"I think what I can do now is to help the damage become widely known," Dindin said, explaining that he was informed that individual compensation for the users who came in through the campaign he was involved in was practically difficult. We are trying to contact the part-time study team and will do our best to come up with a solution," he added.
Dindin said "I'm so sorry to those who trusted and used it," he bowed his head.
Mimi Minu, an entrance exam YouTuber who previously participated in the app advertisement, also apologized instead, saying that he would deliver the entire advertising fee to the victim.
On the other hand, part-time study has been operated in a structure in which users set a target study time, pay a deposit, and receive compensation when they achieve study time. Although the number of subscribers has increased rapidly through celebrity promotion, concerns have been raised over excessive promotion methods and structural problems. The operator's Study Work announced on the 24th that it had entered bankruptcy proceedings.
