The first whistleblower claimed to be a middle school classmate of the popular YouTuber and radio anchor Kwak Tube (real name Guo Junbin), who raised “suspicions of theft” during his school days and claimed that he “exaggerated the damage of school violence”, admitting that everything he wrote was false.
On the 20th, a post titled “Hello, Kwak Tube, I am 000 who spreads false information about theft” was published on the online community.
A author said: “In my revelation, I argued that Guo Junbin was not a victim of school violence because he was only stabbed once by a compass and he also threw eraser powder,” and “(again) he stole a Nintendo DS and killed his friend.” “I also claimed that Guo Junbin was also responsible because I hated doing this,” he said.
He said: “This is all false information. I’m sorry, I don’t like Kwak Tube normally, so I want to use this controversy as an excuse to spread false information and criticize Kwak Tube.”
At the same time, he admitted again, “Kwak Tube and I are not in the same middle school, and we are still in the second year of high school, so our ages are different. It’s all fake.”
In the process, Mr. A discovered Kwak Tube’s personal information, entered his phone number in the disclosure, impersonated his work and email addresses, and even used Photoshop to falsify records of his life.
Prior to this, on the 19th, Mr. A posted several times claiming that he was Guo Guan’s middle school classmate, and revealed that “it is hard to agree with his claim that he suffered school violence because of poverty and appearance” and “I stole a (Nintendo) DS when I was in the second grade.”
In response, Kwak Tube announced that it would take legal action, saying that “the author’s revelation that ‘I stole the DS when I was in the second year of middle school’ is wrong,” and added: “We will deal with those who create and spread false facts and malicious rumors seriously and without mercy.”
In response, Mr. A responded within a day, saying, “I wrote this article because I saw that a big company was going to sue me, and the situation was getting worse, and I was scared. I’m really sorry. The lie I originally told was published in an article and also posted on (the community) Real-time Best, so I received a lot of attention, “I felt like I became a famous criminal in the movie,” he said with his head on his shoulders.
Recently, Kwak Tube was embroiled in controversy when it defended actress Lee Na-eun of the group April, who was accused of school violence and bullying on her YouTube channel.
Subsequently, a video titled “2024 Public Service Announcement for the Prevention of School Violence ‘Looking for Talents'” was released on the official YouTube channel of the Ministry of Education, and he did not participate in the recording of “The Jeon Hyun-woo Project Season 2”. Kwak Tuber posted an apology twice, saying that “this was an arrogant and wrong decision.”
