As various controversies surrounding YouTuber Park Wi have unfolded following the film "Exhuma," his YouTube subscriber count has been steadily declining.

As of the 15th, Park Wi’s YouTube channel "Wi Miracle WERACLE" shows a subscriber count of 946,000.

The channel had previously surpassed 10 thousand won subscribers but dropped to around 956,000 on the 31st of last month after Park Wi's controversies erupted. Since then, an additional 10,000 subscribers have left over the past two weeks, causing Park Wi’s YouTube channel subscriber count to collapse below the 950,000 mark.

Park Wi faced backlash after posting a video claiming that his wheelchair fell because he tripped over a social service worker who had helped him on a KTX train, with his remarks being criticized as provocative. Alongside this, controversies regarding his past behavior have continued to surface in his older videos, leading to an increase in subscriber losses.

Recently, a vlog video featuring Park Wi and visually impaired YouTuber Won Shot Hansol (real name Kim Han-sol) filmed on the online platform "onLINE" has been re-examined. In November 2022, Park Wi uploaded a video to Won Shot Hansol’s YouTube channel titled "I have paraplegia, is this really possible? I'm embarrassed but I asked," in which he appeared to test and mock Hansol's visual impairment, making viewers uncomfortable.

Park Wi particularly drew criticism for handing a bubble wand to Won Shot Hansol and saying, "This is a urine stream. A urine stream that produces bubbles," causing eyebrows to furrow. Later, when the two went camping, Park Wi uploaded a video to his YouTube channel titled "Honestly, can't you see???" showing suspicion toward Won Shot Hansol.

After facing backlash for posting a video on the 21st of last month alleging he suffered a fall accident while using KTX and making provocative remarks, Park Wi apologized, stating, "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 politely apologized," and suspended his YouTube activities.

Meanwhile, Park Wi has been sharing his rehabilitation process through YouTube since being diagnosed with quadriplegia following a building fall accident in 2014. He married Song Ji-eun, a singer from the group SECRET, in 2024.
