Recently, fake news that Baek Jong-won, who is also a restaurant entrepreneur and broadcaster, has died has spread on social media, incurring resentment from netizens.



On the 21st, a YouTuber posted a video titled 'Paek Jong-won passed away leaving a debt of nearly 10 billion won'.



This YouTuber claimed that Baek Jong-won had a rare disease that only 1 out of 300 million suffer from, but the treatment cost up to 10 billion won, so the family gave up treatment.



Previously, on the 18th, fake news that Mr. Baek died and his wife, Mr. So Yu-jin, was crying was posted on another YouTube channel.



Of course, all of these videos are false.



All of these channels are new channels this year, and the Korean language in the video content is awkward, as if a translator was turned on.



Some argue that it is a crime of foreign YouTubers who want to increase the number of views and earn money, and that the cyber investigation team should come forward.



Netizens are showing reactions such as 'No matter how good the money is, do you make a fine person a deceased?', 'I hope you will be judged by the law'.
