Park Wi remains silent for three weeks following KTX fall accident controversy... criticism spreads to past Kenya volunteer video

According to media reports, YouTuber Park Wi has remained silent for more than three weeks since releasing CCTV footage through his channel on August 21, which showed his wheelchair overturning while disembarking from a KTX. The controversy erupted as the scene where a social service agent apologizes was exposed in the video, and subsequently, Park Wi has faced repercussions, such as resigning from his position as a Seoul City promotional ambassador and having scheduled lectures canceled.

In this situation, a video of his past volunteer activities in A.f.r.i.k.a, Kenya, which he participated in with his wife Song Ji-eun, is drawing attention once again. At that time, Park Wi received assistance from many volunteers to move in his wheelchair or had the wheelchair lifted and moved, and some netizens are raising controversies regarding being a nuisance and are showing critical reactions.

Meanwhile, as of the afternoon of September 11, the number of subscribers to Park Wi's YouTube channel 'Weracle' was counted at 940,000. As the subscriber scale, which exceeded 1 million before the controversy, shows a downward trend, the cold reaction of public opinion does not seem to subside easily.
