Earlier, on the 25th, YTN News became controversial by posting inappropriate comments on a video titled "Peeing on a woman on the subway escalator…The victim caught herself" posted on the official YouTube channel of YTN News on the 25th.
The video was a report about a man in his 20s who urinated at a woman in front of a subway escalator and was arrested by the police.
Through an interview, the victim complained of emotional pain, saying, "I have a trauma. I have a habit of looking back because it seems like someone is behind me."
Jang Seong-gyu, who saw the video, commented, "Is there such a thing?" through the official YouTube channel account.
Criticism from netizens followed. Criticisms such as "What is the reason for making such a pun on a comment?", "I do not understand that the victim is suffering and making a comment like this", "I think this comment is a bit frivolous" was poured out.
In response to a netizen who pointed out the incident as if conscious of public opinion, Jang Seong-gyu explained, "I was just comparing a bad person who was absurd and angry to poop.
