YouTuber Park Wi apologized after releasing CCTV footage of a wheelchair fall accident that occurred on the KTX.

On the 22nd, Park Wi posted an apology statement via his SNS, saying, "I am sorry for disappointing many people with the video I uploaded today."

Previously, on the 21st, a video titled "Reason for Releasing CCTV Footage" was published on the YouTube channel 'Wi Miracle'.

In that video, Park Wi explained that he suffered an accident while disembarking after using the KTX for a lecture on the 14th. He described how his wheelchair's wheel got caught on a staff member's foot as he went down a ramp, causing him to be thrown from the wheelchair and fall to the floor.

The CCTV footage released alongside the video captured the moment Park Wi fell from his wheelchair while going down the ramp. Recalling the incident, he explained, "Suddenly I saw a foot right in front of me. My wheelchair got caught on that foot, and my body was thrown off and fell to the ground."

He continued, "Honestly, I was so angry. I was furious, lost my composure, and many thoughts raced through my mind, but I was already lying on the floor. It was an incredibly dizzying situation."

In particular, Park Wi said he was greatly frightened because he has almost no sensation in his lower body, making it difficult to assess injuries immediately after the accident. He revealed, "I have never fallen from such a height for 12 years. What's even more terrifying is that I might not know if I have a fracture or a crack due to lack of sensation."

He also shared his honest feelings: "Although the staff member did not intentionally do anything wrong, I was angry just because they placed their foot on the ramp." However, he asked people to refrain from criticizing specific individuals and explained that the CCTV footage was released with the intention of emphasizing the need for safety improvements, as a single mistake can lead to a major accident.

However, after the video was released, some pointed out that Park Wi's anger over releasing the CCTV footage at the time of the accident was excessive, even though the public service worker had already apologized.

In response, Park Wi stated in his apology statement, "I failed to consider the position of the staff member who did their best to help me at the scene when the incident occurred and apologized politely."

He added, "I only viewed negatively a mistake that occurred during the process of trying to help me better. My delivery method was immature, and I was short-sighted. I apologize to everyone who worked hard at the scene." He bowed his head in apology.

He also apologized to viewers. Park Wi said, "I deeply apologize to all viewers who watched the video. I will take your advice seriously and approach content creation with a mature attitude."

Finally, he added, "Through this incident, I will act more carefully and responsibly in everything. Once again, I am sincerely sorry."
