'YouTuber KARA Cullar has issued a statement regarding the suspension of its channel.

'KARA Cullar recently stated on its Instagram, "An unprecedented situation has occurred where both our main YouTube channel, 'KARA Cullar Detective Office,' and our sub-channel, 'KARA Cullar Storage,' have had their accounts suspended simultaneously."

'It continued, "We have been producing content in compliance with YouTube's Community Guidelines, and we believe there is no fact of intentional or repeated policy violations." It further claimed, "We have detected circumstances suggesting that organized false reports from specific forces with vested interests have been flooding in regarding the sensitive investigative content I have recently covered."

'It then stated, "I believe this channel suspension is not so much a fair judgment by YouTube, but rather a mechanical response by YouTube's AI automated filtering system triggered by this organized wave of reports." It added, "Those who felt threatened during the process of uncovering the truth are attempting to silence me by abusing YouTube's reporting function. This appears to be a calculated retaliatory act aimed at covering up uncomfortable truths, not merely a simple policy violation issue."

'KARA Cullar stated, "I believe the final judgment will be clearly revealed through YouTube's review. We are currently submitting relevant materials to YouTube and are carefully re-examining whether all content complies with the policies."

'It added, "This is not merely a matter of channel operation, but a problem directly linked to the record and continuity of our ongoing activities, so we will make a full explanation until the end."

'Regarding the suspension of his two channels, some are speculating that the issue may stem from uploading a video of the perpetrator of the late director Kim Chang-min.

'Last month, a video titled "I am the murderer of director Kim Chang-min" was uploaded to KARA Cullar's YouTube channel. In the video, suspect A in the assault case of the late director Kim Chang-min appeared and said, "As the perpetrator of the case involving the late director Kim Chang-min, I feel extremely sorry and wish to offer my apologies to the director and the victim's family." However, the victim's family received no apology and strongly protested, calling it "clear secondary victimization."

'Late director Kim Chang-min got into a dispute with a group of men in their 20s while having a meal with his developmentally disabled son at a restaurant in Guri, Gyeonggi-do, on October 20 last year. The perpetrators knocked the victim unconscious with a so-called "back choke" from behind, then subjected him to a indiscriminate group assault, dragging him outside the restaurant and continuing the assault.

'As a result, director Kim, who lost consciousness and collapsed, was declared brain dead and passed away after donating his organs to four people.

'During this process, suspicions of inadequate police investigation were raised, and on the 28th of last month, the Criminal Division 2 of the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office, a dedicated investigation team, applied for an arrest warrant against the two perpetrators on charges of injury resulting in death. They were arrested on the 4th.'
