Broadcaster and YouTuber Choi Wook is facing controversy over somewhat inappropriate remarks regarding the far-right community Ilgan Best Storage (Ilbe).

On the afternoon of the 5th, while hosting Maebul Show, Choi Wook asserted, "Ilbe online must definitely be criminalized."

He continued, "Because our system keeps letting Ilbe run free, it has become fun and has turned into a culture. As they rise into the light, what they admire is Chun Doo-hwan. Online, at the very least, they should be crushed with a tank."

In response, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the Reform Party, stated, "President Lee Jae-myung was fixated on the Starbucks 'Tank Day' expression, which led to a boycott movement. Since the phrase 'should be crushed with a tank like Chun Doo-hwan' was uttered on Maebul Show, it is an issue that President Lee should mention this and that ruling party politicians should incite boycotts and removal."

In this regard, Jeong Jun-hee, a visiting professor at the Department of Media and Culture, Hanyang University Erika Defense Intelligence Command, also targeted some in their 20s and 30s, saying, "They must be suppressed by power, not persuaded. They lack a system of thought. They are not a group that has solidly constructed what could be called philosophy or values. It is absolutely necessary to wield a baton through legal means. They must be suppressed by power, not rationally persuaded."
