Commentator Wi Geun-woo sharply criticized the recent controversy surrounding comedian Yang Sang-guk's attitude.

On the 11th, Wi Geun-woo posted on his personal account, "Honestly, I do not view this as an incident where Yang Sang-guk, as an individual, briefly appeared, lost his composure, and went wild."

Wi Geun-woo added, "We must see this as the result of mainstream broadcasts, including 'What Do You Do?' (Nolmwo), promoting Yang Sang-guk's exaggerated performance of Gyeongsang-do dialect and masculinity, labeling it as the trend, and blindly following suit."

Recently, Yang Sang-guk has rapidly emerged as a blue-chip figure in the variety show industry, leveraging his strong Gyeongsang-do dialect accent. Consequently, he has appeared in various variety programs such as 'What Do You Do?', 'My Little Old Boy', 'You Quiz on the Block', 'Omniscient Interfering View', and 'Same Bed Different Dreams'.

However, he became embroiled in controversy in February when he displayed rude speech and behavior while appearing on the web variety show 'Excuse Me'. Yang Sang-guk made remarks such as, "I usually listen to Senior Yoo Jae-suk, but I don't think that's acceptable," and "Mr. Yoo Jae-suk, if you speak one more time, I'll scold you."

Subsequently, he faced criticism for repeating excessive reactions and inappropriate behavior in programs like 'The Love Hunter of Joseon' and 'Amazing Saturday'.
