• Kwak Tube apologizes for sponsorship of postpartum care centers and donations..Complaints filed with the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission

YouTuber and broadcaster Kwak Tube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) has been sponsored by a postpartum care center after giving birth to his wife, sparking controversy. Kwak Tube bowed his head and apologized quickly as soon as the controversy arose, and even expressed his intention to donate to single mothers. The incident seemed to be over, but it's still noisy. One community posted a complaint that Kwak Tube filed a complaint with the National Rights Commission regarding the controversy over the sponsorship of the postpartum care center, and rekindled the debate over whether Kwak Tube, who has a wife as a public servant, received money and valuables for his wife. The clear fact that "it is used by women and babies after childbirth" is causing many eyes to be mixed. Is it Kwak Tube who directly sponsored the postpartum care center, his wife's family.

Kwak Tube had a private wedding 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. Kwak Tube posted a photo of a postpartum care center where his wife and son are staying on his personal SNS and marked it as "cooperation." Kwak Tube later deleted the phrase "collaboration" 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 for public officials.

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 tickets, 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.

Kwak Tube quickly apologized when the controversy arose. On the 10th, he said on his YouTube channel, "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 might 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. However, the phrase "I consulted the law and confirmed that the sponsorship was a private contract between me and the cook and that it was not related to the spouse's job" became controversial again. It is true that the sponsorship is a private contract between Kwak Tube and the cook, and it is not directly related to his wife's job as a public servant, but due to the nature of the postpartum care center, there are points of doubt because the wife, who is a spouse, uses it herself.

A civil petitioner who filed a complaint with the National Rights Commission explained, "The postpartum care center seems to have provided a room upgrade in anticipation of the external promotional effect of famous YouTubers, but it seems to be an issue that can raise questions about the scope and limitations of the permission under the anti-graft law as it can be questioned whether the benefits are actually attributed directly or primarily to the spouse of a public official who is a mother."

Public opinion is also divided. Some say that there is no problem with YouTubers being sponsored, but on the other hand, there is room for waiting for the government's judgment as the actual beneficiary of the sponsorship is his wife. In fact, such a problem could bring another story to the entertainment industry as a whole in the future.

Many stars are making money by disclosing their spouses and children. There are economic benefits in return for appearing on broadcasts and exposing them to the public, so they also bear some inconveniences. They use goods and services that the public pays for and use for free under the name of sponsorship and lend their names and faces. When celebrities get married and have children, they do YouTube, and they sell their daily lives in the order of appearing in parenting entertainment and marital entertainment. Such entertainment will be a 'demanding' supply stemming from public curiosity. However, as it becomes too much, controversy arises.

Kwak Tube grew into a popular entertainer with the love of the public. He is appearing on various entertainment programs after signing an exclusive contract with a large management company, and he is not just one YouTuber, but a decent broadcaster. Whenever he revealed the news of his marriage, his wife's premarital pregnancy, and his wedding through the broadcast, he drew attention. Therefore, it may have been a sponsorship that everyone else received, but there are still stories coming out as attention is paid to his wife's job as a "public servant." Kwak Tube was loved for his straightforward and easygoing charm. His charm is his comfortable appearance of going on a trip and sleeping anywhere, eating anything well, and his familiar and friendly appearance like my friend. Wasn't it against popular sentiment that he "released" his postpartum care center worth tens of millions of won after marriage on social media.
