YouTuber Park Wi (39), who promotes the message 'WE+MIRACLE' (WE+MIRACLE), is facing relentless criticism day after day for engaging in contradictory behavior that directly contradicts his own message.

Earlier, on the 22nd of last month, Park Wi posted a video on his YouTube channel 'WE+MIRACLE' claiming he fell from a wheelchair while disembarking from a KTX train and attacked social service personnel, sparking controversy. It was later revealed that the incident actually occurred while receiving assistance from one of those social service personnel, triggering a fierce backlash. The social service personnel followed proper procedures to assist Park Wi, and an error occurred during the process. While Park Wi stated he had politely apologized to the social service personnel at the time, he obtained and released CCTV footage, aggressively claiming, "I was so angry."

Ultimately, this escalated into a controversy over Park Wi's character. His YouTube channel, which once surpassed 1 million subscribers, has sharply declined to around 940,000 as of the 14th.

However, the ball launched by Park Wi's indiscriminate public attacks did not stop. A fierce aftershock is unfolding as his past actions are being systematically exposed. Aware of this, Park Wi deleted more than 14 of his old videos, including the controversial attack video, in a "sneaky" manner, effectively admitting his own recklessness.

Nevertheless, videos capturing his endlessly inappropriate behavior continue to surface, suggesting the spark of controversy is unlikely to be easily extinguished.

In particular, a video in which Park Wi mocked visually impaired YouTuber Wonshot Hansol (33, real name Kim Han-sol) has been resurfaced, igniting further public outcry. In 2023, Park Wi openly posted a video on his YouTube channel titled "Honestly, Can't You See???" The video blatantly depicts Park Wi questioning whether Wonshot Hansol is actually visually impaired, just as the title suggests. While camping together with Wonshot Hansol, he rudely asked, "Can you find your way to KARA-ban alone? Go try it. I can see them." At that time, a caption reading "Doubting for two years" was even inserted, casting doubt on his own eyesight.

As Wonshot Hansol walked toward KARA-ban alone, Park Wi continued mocking: "Let's expose this. This is what needs to be revealed during the 600,000-subscriber Q&A. Look at that. Does that make sense? Is this something a blind person would do? Can you even get to your bed? How should I phrase this? Is it because your perception skills are so sharp?"

Moreover, when Wonshot Hansol attempted to take a photo for the HyeDaejeon event, Park Wi asked, "What will you see if you do that? Do you know I'm right in front of you?" He then turned to an acquaintance nearby and pressed, "When you think about it, is (Wonshot Hansol being visually impaired) fake or real?"

Prior to this, in a video uploaded to the 'Wonshot Hansol' YouTube channel in 2022, Park Wi mocked Wonshot Hansol, who was pushing his wheelchair, asking, "I'm genuinely curious—how is this possible if you can't see?" At that time, he also stated, "I'm really going to confirm whether you're visually impaired right here." When Wonshot Hansol walked in the wrong direction, Park Wi reacted with shock, saying, "Yes, you can't see. Okay."

Additionally, Park Wi deceived Wonshot Hansol by handing over a bubble wand and claiming, "This is a urine stream. A urine stream that produces bubbles." When he attempted to cut meat but watched Wonshot Hansol waving scissors in midair, he harshly said, "I'll admit it. I'll admit you're not faking it. You're suddenly making me furious."

Park Wi's mockery continued. When Wonshot Hansol peeled the shell off a grilled shrimp and handed it to him, Park Wi feigned surprise, saying, "You really peeled the shrimp," and teased, "It seems like you can actually see."

The reason these actions by Park Wi appear even more contradictory is that he was appointed as a Seoul city ambassador and has been active as a leading figure in improving disability awareness while receiving lecture fees exceeding 9 million won per session. However, the reality is nothing more than "do as I say, not as I do" (in Korean: nae-ro nam-bul), sparking widespread outrage.

Ultimately, Park Wi has recently stepped down from his role as Seoul city ambassador, and all scheduled lectures have been canceled one after another. Given that his past behavior—far from being a miracle of 'WE+MIRACLE' but rather leading the way in mocking others—has been fully exposed, criticism and controversy surrounding him are expected to continue.

Meanwhile, Park Wi was diagnosed with quadriplegia following a building fall accident in 2014. After undergoing rehabilitation, he recovered enough to move his upper body. He later married Song Ji-eun, a former member of SECRET, in October 2024.
