Far-right YouTuber Bae In-gyu died suddenly, sparking continuous discussion on online platforms.

According to police sources on the 5th, Bae was found dead around 8 a.m. in his apartment home in Yeongjongdo, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon. He was 36 years old. His body has been placed at the morgue of Inha University Hospital, and the funeral venue remains undisclosed.

No suicide note was reportedly found at the scene. Police are estimating that Bae died from a fall, based on findings that no signs of struggle, external intrusion, or property damage were discovered inside the house, along with an open window. The Yeongjong Police Station, handling the case, is understood to be questioning A, his girlfriend who lived with him.

Bae operated the far-right YouTube channel "New Male Alliance," which had 710,000 subscribers. In fact, during his lifetime, he pinned a photo on his Instagram profile that caricatured President Lee Jae-myung and posted updates stating he was in the process of filing lawsuits against the Democratic Party of Korea.

In February last year, Bae forcibly entered Ewha Womans University to issue a statement opposing the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President), resulting in a summary fine of 1 million won for property damage. This was deemed as his alleged act of snatching and tearing hand-pickets held by students demanding "Yoon Suk-yeol's removal."

Separately, in May last year, Bae was arrested on the spot for allegedly using methamphetamine at a motel in Jung-gu, Incheon (violation of the Narcotics Control Act), sparking controversy. In November last year, Bae revealed via SNS: "I recently voluntarily admitted myself to a closed psychiatric ward for addiction treatment and am now calmly continuing the process of rebuilding my life at a rehabilitation center."

He expressed that he was deeply shocked by his mother's death and Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President)'s impeachment, writing: "The wrong choices I made were results of relying on improper methods to escape unbearable pain. I am taking seriously the fact that I disappointed those who believed in and supported me. I am now deeply reflecting on all my actions, practicing self-restraint, and will faithfully bear all legal responsibilities without evasion."

In response to the sudden news, YouTuber Goginam, who has 1.8 million subscribers, stated: "Comments congratulating me on the deceased's passing have been posted. However, I am currently feeling extremely grief-stricken and devastated." Previously, he had engaged in a live broadcast fight with Bae after conflicts arose over rumors including an affair issue.

Regarding this matter, Goginam said: "Mr. Bae (CEO) sincerely apologized, and we resolved past misunderstandings, letting go of all lingering feelings between us. I ask that no one consume a person's death as someone else's victory or cause for celebration." He added, "Please refrain from mocking, insulting, or speculating about the deceased, and at least allow them to depart in silence with our condolences."
