Group Davichi's Kang Min-kyung spoke out regarding allegations of YouTube manipulation.

On the 6th, Kang Min-kyung posted a comment on her YouTube channel, stating, "I have been struggling for nine years now to capture vlogs all by myself. I've been consistently doing this for nearly a decade, so I thought people would at least understand a bit by now, but it seems there is still a long way to go."

Regarding scenes where she was suspected of having staff accompany her on her solo travel vlogs, Kang Min-kyung explained, "I set up a mini tripod outside the restaurant for a moment and filmed this shot, hoping viewers would feel the same emotions I do." She added, "This angle was also possible because Shanghai does not have the same high risk of pickpocketing as Europe."

She expressed her frustration, saying, "The reason I am leaving such a long explanation is that there are people who are asking, 'Didn't you have staff accompany you even though you called it a solo trip?' If it hadn't been a trip taken alone, there would have been no reason to say something like that."

Previously, on the 26th of last month, Kang Min-kyung uploaded a video titled "A Solo Trip to Shanghai for the First Time in 36 Years" to her personal YouTube channel.

The released video showed Kang Min-kyung traveling to Shanghai alone. However, suspicions arose that staff were accompanying her due to camera angles that seemed to show someone filming her. This led to a controversy over YouTube manipulation, which Kang Min-kyung ultimately denied directly.

I have been struggling for nine years now to capture vlogs all by myself.

I've been consistently doing this for nearly a decade, so I thought people would at least understand a bit by now... Haha, it seems there is still a long way to go.

I set up a mini tripod outside the restaurant for a moment and filmed this shot, hoping viewers would feel the same emotions I do.

This angle was also possible because Shanghai does not have the same high risk of pickpocketing as Europe.

The reason I am leaving such a long explanation is that there are people who are asking, 'Didn't you have staff accompany you even though you called it a solo trip?'

If it hadn't been a trip taken alone, there would have been no reason to say something like that...
