Woong (real name Lee Byung-woong), an eating YouTuber accused of breaking into and assaulting his ex-girlfriend's house without permission, explained himself through a live broadcast.

Woong hosted a live broadcast on his YouTube channel on the 2nd and directly commented on the contents of his trial.

Woong first claimed, "I have never been arrested for a current crime," and added, "The police were dispatched to quarantine each other to hear the situation after checking the scene, and I just moved to a nearby police box. Afterwards, he stated that the other party was assaulted and moved to Gangnam Police Station for investigation. "The article written as if he was arrested in handcuffs is not true," he explained.

"At the time of the trial, a police officer who was dispatched to the scene was set as a witness, and the officer stated that he had not witnessed blood near the victim's nose and had never said he had a nosebleed," he said. "I learned during the trial that I would also submit my pajamas as evidence, but it was not submitted to anywhere in the National Forensic Service." This part was embarrassing," he said.

Woong said, "I think it's true that I called in the key and invaded the residence, and I think this part was clearly wrong. "I think I deserve to be punished," he said. "The assault case was at a different point from the invasion of the residence, and it was expressed as if he had opened the door and assaulted right away."

In addition, Woong said, "I was sued for a total of three sexual crimes, including rape injuries, forced illegal filming, and sexual harassment, but all of them were closed without charge. The mobile phone was confiscated and even forensics was held for a month, but the video itself in question was not found, he said, adding, "We reviewed the innocence but did not proceed."

Woong said, "The public opinion was so scary, and I was in a state of collapse due to depression, panic disorder, and interpersonal avoidance. "I also heard advice from my lawyer that it is not good to mention the legal situation during the trial and that secondary damage could be done to the other party," he said. "Since then, I felt that I could no longer be silent." "We will file a complaint against blogger YouTubers who spread provocative speculative articles and false content," he said.

Meanwhile, Woong was charged with breaking into A's house without permission in December 2022 when his girlfriend A notified him of the breakup and changed the password of the door lock. He was also accused of assaulting A with his hands while arguing with him in February last year. In the process, Woong was also charged with threatening to cancel A's 112 report.

According to the investigation, Woong threatened A to wash his bloodied face and change his clothes before the police officer who was dispatched after receiving the report arrived, and the police officer who examined A's condition later found Woong hiding behind the curtain and arrested him as a current offender.

The prosecution appealed against Woong's sentence of 10 months in prison, two years of probation, and 200 hours of community service in the first trial.

The prosecution explained the reason for the appeal, saying, "Woong broke into the victim's residence without permission, and when the victim was assaulted reported to 112, he assaulted and threatened the victim again to cancel the report," adding, "Considering that he posted a video slandering the victim on his YouTube channel to commit a second offense and did not show any remorse for the victim during the investigation and trial, the sentence of the first trial is judged to be light."

Woong is a YouTuber who has gained popularity for his mukbang (eating broadcast) contents, and currently has more than 780,000 subscribers.
