YouTuber Park Wi makes more videos private after KTX CCTV backlash
South Korean YouTuber Park Wi has made more videos private on his channel, Wiracle, after criticism over footage of a fall at a KTX station.
In August, he posted CCTV footage of himself falling while getting off a train, after his wheelchair caught the foot of a social service worker standing on a ramp.
The worker had apologized at the scene, and critics said sharing the footage could expose the worker to excessive blame.
Park later removed the explanation video and apologized, saying he had not considered the worker’s position.
Reports say the channel now has 778 public videos, about 20 fewer than before, and around 930,000 subscribers, down from more than one million at its peak.
Some videos made private include a reflection on the 2014 fall that left Park with paralysis.
The fallout and criticism over his past content continue, but the reports do not say whether Park plans to make further public comments.
