Broadcaster and YouTuber Choi Wook apologized for somewhat inappropriate remarks regarding the far-right community Ilgan Best Storage (Ilbe).

Through the opening of Maebul Show on the 8th, Choi Wook stated, "Friday's broadcast sparked significant controversy over the weekend. Many people were uncomfortable with my remark that far-right groups on the online platform who admire Chun Doo-hwan should be pushed back with tanks on the online platform in the way they admire. I sincerely apologize. I am truly, truly sorry."

He continued, "This is by no means an apology to far-right groups that praise the Chun Doo-hwan method," adding, "I will approach broadcasting more carefully in the future."

Previously, on the afternoon of the 5th, while hosting Maebul Show, Choi Wook argued, "Ilbe on the online platform must certainly be criminalized."

He further stated, "Because our system continues to allow Ilbe to exist, it has become fun and has become a culture. As this comes into the light, what they admire is Chun Doo-hwan. On the online platform, at the very least, they must be pushed back with tanks like criminals."
