YouTuber and broadcaster Kwak Tube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) quickly apologized when it became controversial after receiving sponsorship from a postpartum care center after giving birth to his wife. Kwak Tube, who has been embroiled in controversy once in the past, apologized quickly in the second controversy and even expressed his intention to donate.

Kwak Tube, who recently became a father when his wife gave birth, released a photo of the postpartum care center on his personal SNS. Posting a photo of a postpartum care center where his wife and son live, he marked it as "cooperation." Later, Kwak Tube deleted the phrase "cooperation" from the post, but controversy arose. As Kwak's wife is a public servant, it is said that the sponsorship of the cook may have violated the anti-graft law.

Under the current law, public officials cannot receive bribes exceeding 1 million won per time or 3 million won each fiscal year from the same person regardless of whether they are related to their duties. The scope of money and goods includes not only money and goods, but also accommodation rights, free or low-cost services and convenience, and the postpartum care center used by Kwak Tube and his wife boasted a two-week usage fee of 6 million won to 25 million won, which could be violated.

As the controversy became controversial, Kwak Tube said on his YouTube channel on the 10th, "I am deeply saddened by the recent controversy over the use of my postpartum care center. After the birth of the spouse, the chef provided a room upgrade and some services. At that time, he announced the sponsorship through SNS, but he later recognized that it could cause misunderstanding about the detailed scope and revised the contents.

Kwak Tube said, "As my spouse is a public servant, I asked for legal advice after the controversy was raised, and I confirmed that the sponsorship was a private contract between me and the cook and that it was not related to my spouse's job." "However, I feel deeply that I should have acted more carefully as a family member of a public official regardless of the reason." If there is any procedural need in the future, I will sincerely explain it," he said. Kwak Tube said, "Through this, I have looked back at myself and my surroundings again," adding, "I would like to reflect on my lack of consideration and donate 30 million won to support single mothers who have been in my heart for a long time. The postpartum care center has also paid the full amount of the difference it received. In the future, I will be a person who considers and practices not only legal standards but also social responsibility more deeply. Once again, I apologize to everyone who may have felt uncomfortable," he said.

Kwak Tube's apology contains clarification, problem solving, apology, and a sense of responsibility as a person whose name is known.

Kwak Tube suffered once after being embroiled in a controversy over defending Lee Na-eun from April, where there was a "bullying controversy." Kwak Tube, who receives public attention, seems to have quickly evolved in the controversy over sponsorship of his postpartum care center because he knows how important public reaction and public opinion are.

Meanwhile, Kwak Tube held a private wedding ceremony with his wife, who was five years younger than him, at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul in October last year and announced the news of his birth on the 24th of last month.
