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

According to police and other authorities on the 5th, Bae was found deceased around 8 a.m. that day 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 has not yet been announced.

Bae operated the far-right YouTube channel "New Male Alliance" and 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 that 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 national declaration opposing Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President) impeachment, resulting in a summary fine of 1 million won for property damage. This was deemed an admission of guilt for allegedly snatching and tearing hand-pickets held by students who demanded "Yoon Suk-yeol's removal from office."

Separately, in May last year, Bae was arrested on the spot for alleged methamphetamine use (violation of the Narcotics Control Act) at a motel in Jung-gu, Incheon, 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."

Deeply shocked by his mother's death and Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President) impeachment, he left a message stating: "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 until the end."

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

Regarding this matter, Gogi-nam said: "Mr. Bae (CEO) sincerely apologized, and we resolved past misunderstandings, letting go of all lingering feelings between us. I ask everyone not to treat someone's death as a victory or cause for celebration." He added, "Please refrain from mocking, insulting, or speculating about the deceased, and let us quietly mourn their final journey."
