The backlash against WERACLE creator Park Wi has continued for a second week, despite his silence and the deletion of videos behind the scenes.
The controversy began after Park Wi fell onto a platform when his wheelchair caught on the foot of a public-service worker as he was getting off a KTX train. A week later, he released footage from a closed-circuit camera, according to the report.
As criticism continues, older videos have also resurfaced. Critics have accused him of habitually blaming others, keeping the dispute alive even as he avoids public comment.
