YouTuber Park Wi resigns as Seoul promotional ambassador amid controversy

YouTuber Park Wi has decided to step down from his role as a promotional ambassador for Seoul. The decision comes after a period of controversy that has impacted his public engagements and led to official complaints.

The controversy reportedly stems from a video Park Wi released concerning an incident on the KTX high-speed train. While the exact nature of the video and the accident is not detailed, it has evidently caused significant public reaction.

This backlash has resulted in the cancellation of lectures Park Wi was scheduled to give. Furthermore, the situation escalated to the point where complaints were filed regarding his ambassadorship, prompting the Seoul Metropolitan Government to consider his position.

Ultimately, Park Wi has chosen to resign before completing his term. Seoul city officials have confirmed they received his intention to resign and are proceeding with the necessary procedures to formalize his departure from the role.
