From health concerns to disputes with the production team, and now even an exposure of "700,000 won per session."

A battle over the truth is unfolding regarding actor Former Wonju's decision to suspend her YouTube channel.

The incident began last month when the production team of Former Wonju's personal YouTube channel, "Former Wonju Artificial," suddenly announced their departure. At the time, the team stated, "We will no longer produce content for the channel," leaving a one-sided farewell. In response to the abrupt suspension without clear reasons, rumors spread uncontrollably among subscribers about Former Wonju's health issues and conflicts with the production team.

What added fuel to this situation was none other than Former Wonju herself.

Recently, she appeared on fellow actress Sa-mi-ja's YouTube channel, "Omi-ja Rather Than Sa-mi-ja," and when asked why she was taking a break from YouTube, she revealed, "I was planning to raise the payment, but (the production team) decided to quit, so I told them, 'Let's just continue.' I felt it wasn't right to focus too much on money." This explosive statement implied that the reason for suspending the channel was due to a conflict over appearance fees.

As the controversy grew, Former Wonju's agency, Sky People Entertainment, stepped in to quell the situation by stating, "We will meet with a new production team and resume uploads around autumn."

However, on the 16th, the situation took a new turn when A, a close aide who has supported Former Wonju for over 20 years, gave an interview to a media outlet.

A claimed that "Former Wonju received 700,000 won per session as an appearance fee," revealing specific figures, while also asserting, "The suspension of YouTube was not due to money issues but because the content direction did not align, and we mutually agreed to part ways." This further intensified the confusion.

Ultimately, Former Wonju's side addressed the repeated suspicions regarding "money issues."

On the same day, her agency strongly denied reports of a 700,000 won appearance fee, stating, "This is not true and baseless." They added, "While A is indeed a close aide who accompanies Former Wonju on local schedules, he has no involvement whatsoever in YouTube operations. It's absurd." The agency could not hide its bewilderment.

Furthermore, they refuted rumors that video uploads would resume on the 29th of this month, stating, "We have only held meetings with a new production team; nothing has been decided yet. There was no conflict with the previous production team." Regarding fans' greatest concern about her health, they added, "She is in excellent health and can easily handle broadcasting," taking steps to shut down false rumors.
