YouTuber Park Wi's subscriber count is plummeting sharply. Backlash over his sniping of a social service personnel who assisted him continues to intensify day after day.

As of the 31st, Park Wi's YouTube channel 'Wi-racle WERACLE' has dropped to 950,000 subscribers. This follows a period of intense interest after his marriage in 2024 to Song Ji-eun, formerly of the group SECRET, which had pushed his subscriber count past 1 million.

However, due to recent backlash over a video in which Park Wi sniped a social service personnel who helped him board a KTX train, he has even lost the title of '1-million-subscriber YouTuber.'

Furthermore, it was revealed that after the controversy began, Park Wi was hired by the Seoul Gangnam Culture Foundation for a lecture fee of 9.35 million won, sparking further criticism. It also came to light that he had demanded a lecture fee exceeding 10 million won, raising questions about whether such a high fee was appropriate.

However, due to the fallout from the controversy, the Gangnam Culture Foundation talk concert and various lectures by Seoul City have been cancelled one after another.

Moreover, the controversy has also affected his wife, Song Ji-eun, who is now suffering from a barrage of malicious comments. As a result, Song Ji-eun has restricted comment functions on her SNS.
