Controversy surrounding YouTuber Park Wi shows no signs of subsiding.

Traces of Park Wi are gradually disappearing. As of the 15th, videos featuring Park Wi on the YouTube channel 'Sevasi Lecture' can no longer be found. In contrast, videos by Park Wi's wife, Song Ji-eun, remain publicly available on Sevasi.

The deleted video was originally published on October 1, 2019. At that time, Park Wi appeared on CBS's 'Time to Change the World, 15 Minutes' (hereinafter 'Sevasi'), sharing his story of sustaining a spinal cord injury in a building fall accident in 2014, followed by his rehabilitation journey and how he overcame his disability.

However, the specific reason for converting Park Wi's lecture video to private status remains unknown. Speculation is circulating that it may be linked to recent controversies surrounding the KTX falling incident.

The subscriber count on Park Wi's YouTube channel 'Wi Miracle' continues to decline. Currently, the channel has approximately 940,000 subscribers. Although the channel once surpassed one million subscribers, it has been in a steady downward trend since the controversy erupted.

Earlier, on the 21st of last month, Park Wi released CCTV footage showing him falling along with his wheelchair while disembarking from a KTX train after being tripped by the foot of a social service personnel member.

Regarding the incident at the time, Park Wi stated, "The social service personnel did not intend to cause harm, but I was angered simply by them placing their foot on the ramp." It is reported that the social service personnel apologized to Park Wi immediately after the accident.

However, following the release of the CCTV footage, controversy intensified as it emerged that Park Wi did not leave the scene at the time of the incident and filmed a reenactment of the accident. Additionally, it was revealed that the video was edited to focus solely on his perspective, excluding apology scenes from employees including the social service personnel.

Ultimately, Park Wi apologized, saying, "I failed to consider the position of the staff member who did their best to assist me at the scene when the incident occurred and sincerely apologized." He subsequently announced a suspension of his YouTube activities. Scheduled lectures were canceled, and he voluntarily resigned from his role as Seoul city's promotional ambassador.

Furthermore, past content has once again come under scrutiny.

Recently, online discussions have resurfaced regarding a past video featuring Park Wi and visually impaired YouTuber One Shot Hansol (real name Kim Han-sol). In November 2022, Park Wi appeared in a video titled "I'm Paralyzed from the Waist Down—Is This Really Possible? I Asked Despite Feeling Embarrassed" on One Shot Hansol's channel, where he was seen joking about Kim Han-sol's visual impairment.

In particular, controversy arose over a scene where Park Wi handed soap bubbles to Kim Han-sol while saying, "This is urine. It's a urine stream that produces soap bubbles." Additionally, when One Shot Hansol pushed his wheelchair and peeled shrimp shells for him, Park Wi made remarks such as "You can actually see, right?"

Later, even after the two went camping together, controversy resurfaced when it was revealed that Park Wi uploaded a video titled "Honestly, Can't You See???" on his own YouTube channel, drawing uncomfortable reactions.

Meanwhile, following a building fall accident in 2014 that resulted in a diagnosis of quadriplegia, Park Wi underwent rehabilitation and recovered to the point where he can move his upper body. He married Song Ji-eun, a former member of the group SECRET, in October 2024.
