As YouTuber Park Wi suspended his activities amid controversy over the release of CCTV footage from a KTX fall accident, attention has turned to his wife Song Ji-eun, who continues her work.

On the 14th, Song Ji-eun appeared on CBS TV's 'Make It New,' co-hosting with singer and composer Joo Young-hoon and comedian Lee Jung-soo.

A pastor named Han served as a guest that day, sharing the story of his son who passed away at the young age of 17.

As she listened to Pastor Han's story, Song Ji-eun made expressions of sorrow and even shed tears.

Song Ji-eun said, "It must have been very difficult for you to share such a painful story. Thank you for sharing your life for the sake of many people. We often call children 'angels,' don't we? It feels like an angel has visited this family."

Since Song Ji-eun's appearance was released while Park Wi's controversy continues, it has drawn significant attention. However, the exact recording time of the broadcast remains unclear.

On the 21st of last month, Park Wi released CCTV footage showing himself being knocked off balance by a social service officer's foot as he disembarked from a KTX train. He stated, "The social service officer did not intend to do so, but I was angered simply by the fact that they placed their foot on the ramp."

However, immediately after the video was released, many netizens criticized Park Wi, a famous YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, for releasing the CCTV footage and publicly denouncing the social service officer. Furthermore, controversy intensified due to allegations that Park Wi did not leave the scene immediately after the accident, directly filmed reenactment videos of the incident, and edited out apologies from staff members including the social service officer, leaving only his own claims in the final video.

Although Park Wi issued a belated apology, the fallout continues. Scheduled events such as lectures have been canceled following the controversy, and he voluntarily resigned from his position as Seoul city's promotional ambassador.
