YouTuber Kaguang explained the allegations that he abused an intellectually disabled woman.

On the 25th, Kaguang posted a video titled "Explanation regarding the controversy over an intellectually disabled woman" on his YouTube channel.

On this day, Kaguang directly stated his position, saying, "I am currently in the midst of a controversy due to suspicions that I abused an intellectually disabled woman. This is not true."

Recently, posts titled "We report YouTuber Kaguang for abusing and exploiting a vulnerable woman suspected of intellectual disability after leg surgery" were posted on the online community OnLINE and social media.

The author of the post, Person A, introduced themselves as a lawyer assisting the woman in question, Person B, and claimed that B, who has an intellectual disability and is recovering from artificial hip joint surgery, was subjected to cruel treatment.

According to Person A, B was a fan of Kaguang and appeared on his live broadcast. During a local broadcast in Thailand, it is alleged that Kaguang broke B's crutches, restricted her meals citing reasons such as viewer donations, and disturbed her sleep. Furthermore, it is claimed that B was even forced to drink alcohol.

In addition, Person A claimed that although B expressed her intention to return home to Kaguang, it was not accepted, and she was also financially extorted under the pretext of appearance fees and other matters. They also explained that they requested emergency protection from the Korean Embassy in Thailand and separated B. However, the factual relationship regarding the content and whether actual measures were taken has not been confirmed.

As the controversy spread, Kaguang claimed in his explanatory video that "B does not fall under any grade of intellectual disability or leg disability," and explained that he had obtained consent for the scenes in the broadcast through contracts, messenger conversations, etc. Kaguang also claimed that B had alcohol problems even before this incident.

Despite Kaguang's explanation, many netizens are raising their voices in criticism, pointing out that Kaguang made B drink alcohol on his live broadcast despite knowing about her drinking problems, and that he continued abusive acts such as pouring alcohol into another person's body or restricting meals, regardless of whether she had a disability.
