YouTuber Shuka (real name Jeon Seok-jae, 45),⁢ who has 3.4 million subscribers, ‍was criticized ‍by public opinion ⁤for saying about⁤ President Yoon Seok-yeol,⁣ “I hope⁣ he finishes his term smoothly.” Shuka eventually deleted the video.

On ‍the 5th,‌ Shuka released a video ⁢titled ‘KOSPI Emptying with Martial Law’ on his YouTube ‍channel.

In the broadcast, Shuka mentioned a series of events ⁣following President Yoon’s declaration of martial law. Shuka mentioned former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun’s ‘heavy and excessive’ remarks.When martial law was lifted, former Minister Kim said to the ⁤commanders, “It was a heavy burden. He was reported​ to have said, “Thank you for ‍your hard work.” It means that heavy amulets were too small to ⁣fight. ‍This is interpreted to mean that martial law ⁢could have ‍been maintained if more ⁤martial law troops‍ had been mobilized.

Shuka said, “A heavy duty talisman? “I don’t even know what the overkill was,” he said. “I’m neither⁤ left nor right.” “I have no​ intention of supporting ​it,” he said. He added, “I hope the current president does well as well. I hope‌ he‌ does ⁤well and resigns after completing his‍ term smoothly,and the same goes for the next president. “I wish both the left and the right could ⁢work together to do something good, but I don’t understand why this was a heavy burden,” he added.

After Shuka’s⁤ broadcast, many netizens have ‍been‍ criticizing ⁤his statement, ‘I hope the current president finishes his term smoothly.’

Many netizens responded, “How​ much is the⁣ economic loss due to the declaration of‍ martial law? Is it okay for an economic YouTuber to say something like this?” and “I just ​hope everything goes well. I have nothing to say.” Some people defended him, saying, “It ⁣truly ⁢seems like he wants⁢ this situation to work out well” and “I think he overinterpreted Shuka’s remarks too much.”

As controversy arose, Shuka deleted⁣ the video.

    • Interview ⁢Between Time.news Editor and Social Media Expert on Public Reaction to YouTuber Shuka’s Controversial Remarks

      Time.news Editor: ​Welcome to ​Time.news! Today, we have with ‍us Dr.Lee Han-soo, a social media expert and professor at the Digital Dialog institute, to ​discuss the recent controversy⁣ surrounding popular‍ YouTuber Shuka. Thank you for joining‍ us, Dr. Lee.

      Dr. Lee ​Han-soo: ⁣Thank you for having me!⁢ it’s great to be here.

      editor: Let’s dive right in. Recently, Shuka, who boasts over 3.4 ⁢million subscribers, faced notable backlash after ‌he ⁤spoke about President Yoon Seok-yeol, stating he hoped the president finishes ​his term smoothly. Almost immediately,‍ the video was removed.⁤ What are your thoughts on this swift action ‌from Shuka?

      Dr. Lee: It’s interesting, isn’t it? ⁣Shuka’s comment reflects a benign wish for political stability, yet it sparked outrage. His decision to delete the ⁤video suggests he was ‍taken aback by the intensity of public reaction, which highlights the delicate nature of political discourse ⁣on platforms like YouTube.

      Editor: ​Indeed.He‌ also ​discussed martial ⁢law ⁢and referenced ⁣remarks from former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun, who implied⁤ that martial⁣ law troops weren’t sufficiently mobilized.Shuka responded⁤ critically, saying, “I don’t even know what the overkill was.” How do you interpret his ⁣stance?

      Dr. Lee: ⁣ Shuka appears to ‍be ⁣positioning himself ‌as someone who‍ seeks clarity and‍ reason rather ​than blindly ⁣supporting​ either political side. By questioning the rationale behind the minister’s comments, he’s trying to instigate critical thinking ‌among his viewers, which can be quite provocative ‍in a⁣ polarized surroundings.

      Editor: That makes sense. Shuka also expressed a desire for ⁤both the ‌left and⁤ right to collaborate for the ⁤common good. do you think this is a feasible approach in today’s divisive political climate?

      Dr. Lee: While his hope for collaboration is admirable, it’s⁤ sadly ⁣quite challenging.⁤ Social media amplifies divisions rather than bridging ‌them. Many users tend⁣ to engage ‌only within echo chambers, reinforcing their existing beliefs. For any⁢ meaningful dialogue to occur, influencers like ‍Shuka must tread carefully and ‌encourage open-ended discussions rather than expressing opinions that can be misinterpreted.

      Editor: Speaking of misinterpretation, Shuka faced significant ⁣criticism after his broadcast.‌ Why ‍do you think his ‌remarks struck such a nerve with the public?

      Dr. Lee: In South ‍Korea’s current⁤ political landscape, even benign statements can be polarizing. Shuka’s comments were likely perceived as too neutral or even sympathetic towards a government that⁢ a significant portion of the populace may not support. When influencers take a nuanced stance, it often gets lost in the outrage, causing backlash from both sides of the political spectrum.

      Editor: That ⁤sheds light on the volatility ⁣of public opinion today. What implications do you foresee for content creators engaging in ‌political discourse following this incident?

      Dr. Lee: ‍ Creators might ⁣become more cautious, weighing their words carefully. Alternatively, some may choose to⁣ provoke intentionally, leaning into⁣ outrage culture for ‌more viewership. This incident may ‌set a precedent where the desire for political stability clashes with the expectation of unfiltered authenticity from​ creators, creating an intriguing ⁣dynamic in influencer politics.

      Editor: This has been an insightful discussion, Dr. Lee.⁢ As the digital⁣ landscape evolves, we’ll ‌be watching closely to see how creators navigate‍ these complex waters. Thank you for your thoughts today!

      Dr. Lee: Thank you for having me!⁣ It’s been ‌a pleasure‌ discussing these vital issues.
