YouTuber Park Wee Faces Backlash for Publicizing CCTV of Service Worker Incident; Mother of Autistic Child Criticizes 'Thoughtless' Act
YouTuber Park Wee (박위), husband of former Secret member Song Ji-eun (송지은), has sparked controversy after releasing CCTV footage related to an incident with a public service worker. Now, a long-time supporter and parent of a 10-year-old autistic son has publicly commented, calling Park's actions "too thoughtless" and suggesting the video could further harm those in social welfare blind spots.
On August 23, a comment circulated in South Korean online communities from a fan who claimed to have followed Park Wee's channel since it had around 60,000 to 70,000 subscribers. The fan stated they majored in social welfare and had even attended events hosted by Park with their child, identifying themselves as a long-time supporter.
She admitted that the incident left her deeply disappointed, saying, "I watched that video from beginning to end. I am also raising a 10-year-old autistic boy myself."
She further pointed out that even within systems like public service workers and social service agents, there are many children similar to her son. Despite having relatively higher intelligence and thus not being classified with a disability grade, and even graduating from special education classes, they remain in social welfare blind spots.
The netizen suggested that the worker in the video might simply be a general social service agent, but other circumstances could also exist. She used her own child's future as an example, stating that in about 10 years, her son might face military service. "Although the state does not recognize him as disabled, if a child who attended special classes and has difficulty communicating is sent to the military, they might ultimately be assigned as a social service agent."
She therefore believes that for some, this video could become "another wound" or even a new form of discrimination, directly stating, "It was truly too thoughtless."

女團 Secret 出身的宋枝恩，於2024年10月與身障 YouTuber 朴偉攜手步入婚姻，這段戀情從公開以來就備受關注，夫妻倆一路相互扶持、甜蜜互動，常常閃瞎粉絲與網友。 近日，朴偉罕見回憶起多年前那場改變人生的意外。他坦言，當年發生建築物墜落事故、被醫師診斷為全身癱瘓時，內心幾乎跌到人生谷底，一度對未來感到徹底絕望。 朴偉21日在個人社群平台上公開一段與國際兒童扶助機構 Compassion 合作拍攝的訪談影片，首度細談事故後的真實心境。影片中，他回想起躺在醫院病床上的日子，直言「那時候真的什麼都做不了」，不僅完全失去生活自理能力，就連喝一口水，都必須有人餵，「如果沒有人幫忙，連水都喝不到。」畫面中也曝光他當年躺在病床上的模樣，讓不少網友看了鼻酸。 他也透露，在人生最無助的時候，家人、朋友，甚至許多從未謀面的教會人士，持續為他禱告、送上鼓勵與支持。「以前的我，從來沒有想過『接受幫助』這件事，但當自己真的走到那個狀態時，才發現別人的一點幫助，對我來說都是巨大的力量。」他語氣滿是感激。 朴偉感性表示，如果沒有那些在背後默默支持他的人，自己不可能像現在這樣，能夠笑著出現在大家面前、過著相對正常的生活。他也坦言，正是這些來自四面八方的愛與鼓勵，一點一滴把他從低谷中拉了起來。 事實上，現年37歲的朴偉於2014年與友人聚會時因酒後失足，從約兩層樓高處意外墜落，造成頸椎骨折，當時被醫師宣告全身癱瘓。所幸他並未放棄，積極投入復健，病況逐步改善至半身癱瘓，上半身已能自主活動。之後他更創立 YouTube 頻道「WERACLE」，分享自身經歷以及多位身障人士的故事，樂觀又正向的人生態度，也讓他成為不少網友心中的「正能量代表」。
