Comedy YouTuber Eom Eun-hyang, who had sparked controversy by announcing a live broadcast with writer Lim Seong-han (Phoebe), has issued an apology regarding various issues.

On the 20th, through her YouTube channel's comment section, Eom Eun-hyang stated, "First, I apologize for using writer Lim Seong-han as a guest to generate clickbait, only to end up with a phone connection. This was entirely due to my own greed."

She continued, "The broadcast time I promised the writer was 15 minutes. Rather than connecting immediately and ending after 15 minutes, I decided it would be better to warm up first and then connect, so I told them I would call at 9 o'clock. Since this was also my first live broadcast meeting subscribers, I set aside the warm-up time as a communication session. However, I realized immediately after the broadcast that this was an inappropriate arrangement that deviated significantly from the promoted content."

She further added, "Ultimately, this was due to my immaturity and shortcomings. I agree with the criticisms. Regarding the deletion of comments, I would like to share my honest opinion. While many offered advice with encouragement, there were also many negative comments. However, I did not delete them simply because I considered them malicious comments or thought 'my words are always right.' I hope you can understand this as a coping mechanism for the mental health of an imperfect human being."

She then said, "Once again, I thank those who stayed until the end of the six-hour and 15-minute marathon. I will strive to create more entertaining videos."

Previously, on the 17th, Eom Eun-hyang had sparked controversy by announcing a live broadcast with writer Lim Seong-han, who wrote dramas such as "Look Again," "The King's Daughters," "Mermaid Princess," "Queen Flower Fairy," "Oh My God," "Ahyeon-dong Lady," and "Doctor Jin."

However, "clickbait controversy" arose because Lim Seong-han did not appear directly but only via phone connection, and he appeared much later than the originally announced time.

◆ Full text of Eom Eun-hyang's statement.

Hello, everyone.

This is Eom Eun-hyang from the Eom Eun-hyang channel.

I am posting this message regarding last Friday's live broadcast.

First, I apologize for using writer Lim Seong-han as a guest to generate clickbait, only to end up with a phone connection. You must have been very angry. This was entirely due to my own greed.

Additionally, I have previously stated that YouTubers must generate clickbait and that I never said my face would appear. In fact, I am concerned that this may not be well conveyed through text, but I will write my thoughts as they are.

In this situation, there were opinions that I was trying to compete with viewers.

That is not true. These were jokes I often use to create a flexible atmosphere, but they were inappropriate remarks for this occasion. I apologize for crossing the line in a situation where sufficient rapport and trust with viewers had not yet been established.

The broadcast time I promised the writer was 15 minutes. Rather than connecting immediately and ending after 15 minutes, I decided it would be better to warm up first and then connect, so I told them I would call at 9 o'clock. Since this was also my first live broadcast meeting subscribers, I set aside the warm-up time as a communication session. However, I realized immediately after the broadcast that this was an inappropriate arrangement that deviated significantly from the promoted content.

Additionally, due to various system issues and failed jokes in the early part of the broadcast, the program did not proceed as I had planned, and I believe the tension may have gradually increased.

Why is it that sometimes, no matter what we do, everything goes wrong and deviates from our intentions? It was like being a train driver with a broken wheel, an abnormal day where one cannot stop amidst excited sympathetic nerves. That day was like that for me. However, I clearly acknowledge that this is also part of who I am. Ultimately, this was due to my immaturity and shortcomings. I agree with the criticisms.

Regarding the deletion of comments, I would like to share my honest opinion. Good words may become dull after hearing them many times, but even words of advice, if they carry the opposite meaning of praise, can become like knives when accumulated.

While many offered advice with encouragement, there were also many negative comments. However, I did not delete them simply because I considered them malicious comments or thought 'my words are always right.' I hope you can understand this as a coping mechanism for the mental health of an imperfect human being.

Finally, during the live broadcast, writer Lim Seong-han guided us very well. His sincere and valuable words moved me as a person who dreams of a similar career. I will produce some shorts featuring his memorable quotes and a few interesting stories. And if I have the opportunity to meet the writer, I will share it with you all.

Once again, I thank those who participated in the live broadcast and stayed until the end of the six-hour and 15-minute marathon. I will strive to create more entertaining videos.

Eom Eun-hyang.
