A doctor YouTuber who posted a video about liver cancer using photos of broadcaster Shin Dong-yup and singer Sung Si-kyung, known as alcoholics in the entertainment industry, has finally apologized.

A doctor YouTuber's channel with approximately 110,000 subscribers recently featured a video titled "Liver cancer-prone people warned by a specialist."

The video included photos of Shin Dong-yup and Sung Si-kyung drinking alcohol, along with the caption "People like this will definitely get liver cancer."

The doctor YouTuber said, "Do you know what these two have in common? They are people who drink alcohol 365 days a year but appear perfectly fine on the outside." He also added, "These people should be especially careful about liver cancer. People who drink well may die sooner."

However, some criticized the YouTuber for trying to attract public attention by forcibly linking the photos and names of specific celebrities to a disease. Opinions were raised that it was inappropriate to prominently feature photos of healthy celebrities while discussing liver cancer.

As the controversy grew, the hospital side apologized, stating, "We did not consider it sufficiently during the production process" and "We plan to immediately delete the thumbnail and edit the video." They further added, "We had no intention of targeting or disparaging specific celebrities," and explained that "it was a mistake that occurred during content production with limited staff."

The controversial video is currently set to private.
