Comedian Kim Ki-ri, known for playing the role of a go-between for the couple Park Wi and Song Ji-eun, has become embroiled in the controversy surrounding Park Wi.

As of 9 a.m. on the 31st, Kim Ki-ri has disabled the comment function on her SNS. Consequently, users can no longer leave comments except on recent posts.

This move is interpreted as fallout from the so-called controversy over Park Wi allegedly targeting social service personnel. On the 21st, Park Wi shared CCTV footage via his YouTube channel 'Wi-racle' showing himself being knocked off balance by the foot of a social service worker while disembarking from a KTX train.

However, immediately after the video was released, many netizens argued that it was excessive for Park Wi, a popular YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, to release CCTV footage and publicly criticize social service personnel. Furthermore, the controversy intensified because Park Wi did not leave the scene immediately after the incident, instead filming a reenactment of the accident himself, and the video included only his own claims while editing out apologies from employees, including the social service worker.

Subsequently, the backlash also reached Kim Ki-ri, as she is known to have played a decisive role in bringing Park Wi and Song Ji-eun together. In response, some netizens visited Kim Ki-ri's SNS and left malicious comments such as "Why did you introduce Song Ji-eun to Park Wi?" prompting Kim Ki-ri to ultimately enable the comment-blocking feature.

Meanwhile, when the controversy erupted, Park Wi issued a brief apology stating, "I failed to consider the position of the staff member who did their best to help me at the scene and apologized politely," but public outrage has not subsided.
