The revelation is a double-edged sword. There is also a pure function of revealing hidden corruption or crimes to the world, but it is difficult to erase the impression that the essence is blurring from the recent series of controversies surrounding comedian Cho Se-ho.

Last month, netizen A's alleged involvement in a gangster and allegations of illegal money laundering, which were raised against Cho Se-ho, spread quickly online without a specific basis. There were only a few photos of unknown sources that Choi and Cho Se-ho, who were identified as gangsters, were taken together.

Cho Se-ho drew the line through his agency, saying, "Choi is just an acquaintance, not any quid pro quo relationship," but even before the facts were confirmed, the "fallen" was first taken regardless of the authenticity.

In the end, Cho Se-ho resigned himself from programs he had been appearing on, such as tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" and KBS 2TV's "One Night and Two Days," saying, "I feel responsible." The decision was made without criminal charges or misconduct.

Later, when news of Cho Se-ho's return spread, the suspect raised his head again. A, who calls himself a "Pyo prosecutor," pressed Cho Se-ho by saying, "I will release a video taken with my wife at home (if I return, Choi) and "I told you to quietly self-reflect and come back, but are you asking me to do it with you now?"

In fact, it is a message that is close to intimidation. It is an act that goes beyond the realm of raising rational questions. Critics point out that the "additional disclosure" that continues without new evidence or objective evidence is an act of pressure based on fame rather than raising public interest issues. Netizens' reactions are also cold.

This behavior, wrapped in the name of exposure, directly threatens the celebrity's right to live. Due to the nature of the job where the image is a livelihood, the mere circulation of "snow" regardless of whether it is true or not is a fatal blow. The reason why Cho Se-ho stepped down on his own from "You Quiz on the Block" and "One Night and Two Days," which are particularly sensitive to external reactions, is not irrelevant.

It is inevitable to ask again whether the method of exploiting this to raise suspicions like "or not" or to touch and pressure private parts is justice or an act that only increases exhausting confusion and conflict. It is also necessary to look back on whether the attitude of being enthusiastic about provocative revelations and not hesitating to condemn the lives of others is nourishing Cyberrekka.

It has already witnessed several times how unconfirmed revelations and reckless accusations shake and destroy a celebrity's life. If there is a fault, it should be clarified through the investigative agency.

However, there can never be a justification for the way a career is broken using private videos or unverified rumors as a weapon. In order to become a society where the threat wearing the mask of "exposure" no longer works, a mature public view of the facts is urgently needed.
