YouTuber Park Wi, who sparked controversy by releasing a CCTV video of a fall accident, is seeing a sharp decline in subscribers.

As of 10:30 a.m. on the 25th, Park Wi's YouTube channel 'We Miracle WERACLE' had 982,000 subscribers. This represents a drop of approximately 10,000 subscribers within a single day, compared to the previous afternoon when the count was in the high 990,000s.

The exodus of Park Wi's YouTube subscribers stems from a KTX CCTV video and his remarks released on the 21st. At that time, Park Wi shared a CCTV clip showing himself being knocked off balance by the foot of a public service worker while disembarking from a KTX train.

Recalling the incident, Park Wi stated, "The public service worker did not act with malicious intent, but I was angered simply by them placing their foot on the ramp." According to Park Wi, the public service worker apologized politely immediately after the accident.

However, shortly after the video's release, many netizens criticized Park Wi, a famous YouTuber with over 10 thousand won subscribers, for releasing the CCTV footage and publicly targeting the public service worker. The controversy intensified further due to allegations that Park Wi did not leave the scene immediately after the accident, personally filmed reenactment videos of the incident, and edited out apologies from staff members including the public service worker, leaving only his own claims in the final video.

Park Wi belatedly recognized the severity of the situation and issued a brief apology, saying, "I failed to consider the position of the staff member who did their best to assist me at the scene where the incident occurred and apologized politely." However, public outrage has not subsided.
