He mentioned various content materials such as 'how to eat well and live well', 'jae-tech', 'fashion', 'love counseling', 'picture' and 'song'.



Among them, while talking about 'love', Gian 84 said about the psychology of a man after a breakup, "It's sad. I regret it. My life's heart hurts. It's a regret." It's salty. When I was in my 20s, I was excited about even the smallest things. Now, a lot of those things are gone. I go to work every day and draw," he said frankly.



Then, "At least, I experienced a little while broadcasting. Maybe I would have died if I didn't broadcast. I had little social experience. I only drew pictures," he said in relation to life.



In this video, Gian84 did not directly mention 'I live alone', but as he has gained popularity by appearing on the show for over 5 years, his love for the show eventually ends with 'I live alone'.leads to love for It is also interpreted as a detour expression of Gian84's feelings about the recent 'bullying controversy'.



Earlier, in 'I Live Alone', which aired on the 13th, Gian84 prepared a celebration party with other members of the rainbow to commemorate the completion of the webtoon 'King of Return'. However, only Jeon Hyun-moo attended, and Gian 84, who thought that the rest of the members would join as a latecomer, could not hide his disappointment.



Regarding this, some viewers pointed out that it was uncomfortable to watch, saying, "I was bullied by Gian 84." In fact, the controversy grew as the victims confessed their experiences of similar bullying during their school days. Complaints about the broadcast were also received by the Korea Communications Standards Commission.



On the other hand, there were opinions that defended this controversy as excessive public opinion. It is only a part of the broadcast setting, but it is pointed out that it is excessive to go to their personal SNS and post malicious comments.



In this atmosphere, Kian84 released this YouTube video without expressing any particular position and showed affection for the broadcast. An analysis is coming out that Gian 84 may have indirectly expressed his feelings about this controversy.
