YouTuber Park Wi's past videos have once again come under scrutiny. Following the controversy over the release of a video showing his fall accident on KTX, his previous words and actions are being repeatedly re-examined. This time, a joke he made to his wife Song Ji-eun's close friend has sparked debate.

Recently, videos containing remarks Park Wi made to Yonielle, a CCM singer who is also Song Ji-eun's close friend, have been spreading primarily through online communities and social media.

The video in question is part of a clip titled "I let her taste the flavor of marriage," which was released on the YouTube channel 'Wiracl' last July.

At the time, Song Ji-eun invited her close friend Yonielle to her home and treated her to a meal. On that day, when Yonielle greeted him, Park Wi asked, "Why are you suddenly fidgeting?" He then held up a camera, saying he was going to "make her embarrassed," and filmed Yonielle, who appeared awkward in front of the lens.

Subsequently, Park Wi said, "Honey, she's the person who told us when we were just starting to date," referring to the time Yonielle first learned about their relationship.

In response, Yonielle recalled, "I had seen your face before. But there was a very pretty woman standing next to you." She added, "When I saw from afar and thought it was 'Brother Wi,' Ji-eun introduced him as 'my boyfriend,' so I immediately burst into tears at that moment."

Upon hearing this, Park Wi said, "Ah, maybe those tears were because… you originally liked me…" trailing off. He made a joke implying that Yonielle had once had feelings for him.

However, when neither Yonielle nor Song Ji-eun showed any particular reaction, Park Wi apologized, saying, "I'm sorry," and explained, "I was trying to be funny, but you both didn't get it, so…"

Song Ji-eun then wrapped up the situation by suggesting, "Maybe those tears were because she couldn't bear to let Ji-eun go."

As this scene was recently re-examined, some netizens reacted that Park Wi's joke was inappropriate. In particular, they pointed out that he made a joke to his wife's friend implying she had liked him, and that he continued the joke even when the other person appeared flustered.

This is not the first time Park Wi's past videos have become controversial.

Previously, in August last year, Park Wi was involved in an accident while getting off a KTX train, where the wheel of his wheelchair caught on the foot of a social service worker who was helping him, causing him to fall.

Afterward, Park Wi released CCTV footage of the accident scene on his YouTube channel. However, criticism continued over his decision to release the footage, despite the fact that the social service worker had apologized immediately after the incident.

Ultimately, Park Wi apologized, stating, "I failed to consider the position of the staff member who had apologized politely," and made the controversial video private. He subsequently declared a hiatus from YouTube activities and voluntarily resigned from his role as a promotional ambassador for Seoul city.

However, even after his hiatus, Park Wi's past videos have been repeatedly re-examined, and the controversy continues.

Recently, a video showing him expressing dissatisfaction over french fries ordered at a drive-thru also spread online. In addition, criticism has been raised regarding his remarks and actions in past content.

Since releasing an apology statement regarding the KTX controversy, Park Wi has not made any further statements and remains on hiatus from YouTube activities.

Meanwhile, Park Wi married Song Ji-eun, a former member of the group SECRET, in 2024.
