YouTuber and host Eun Hyun-jangknown for his channel The Master of Business, appeared before the Science, Technology and Communication Committee of the South Korean National Assembly on October 30. Invited as a witness, he challenged parliamentarians on the problem of "cyber wreckersThese are content creators who exploit the misfortunes or scandals of others for profit.
Garosero already known for false accusations
Eun Hyun-jang took advantage of his speech to call for a new investigation against Kim Se-uiHe was responsible for the online media Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon), already known for its controversial broadcasts. He recalled that he himself had been the victim of false accusations made by Kim Se-ui since last year, notably around invented cases linked to the use of automated programs on Naver. These accusations led to a complaint being filed against him, which was finally dismissed last May.
In an attempt to counter the YouTuber's influence, Eun Hyun-jang acquired 50 % of Gaseyeon's shares in November 2023, claiming he wanted to "restore normalcy" to the medium. He then secured an extraordinary shareholders' meeting last October, the first in 3 years, to challenge Kim Se-ui's management.
Serious accusations and manipulation of evidence
On his side, Kim Se-ui refuted all the accusations, assuring us that the media's management remained unchanged and that Eun Hyun-jang had not been appointed director. His team also claims to be engaged in legal proceedings to have Eun Hyun-jang's shareholder status revoked.
Eun Hyun-jang explained that he had acquired the shares "to gain legal access to the financial records and demand Kim Se-ui's removal", believing that the was too slow. He then denounced the lack of reaction from the authorities despite the growing number of complaints about Gaseyeonin particular those aimed at YouTuber Tzuyang and actor Kim Soo-hyun.
"I've filed a complaint against Kim Se-ui for over a year, but no investigation is moving forward. There are between 16 and 20 cases pending at the Gangnam police station," he said. "Kim Soo-hyun has suffered enormous damage as a result of 3 false press conferences. The evidence presented (messages, photos, recordings) was all manipulated. 99.9 % of what Kim Se-ui is broadcasting is false."
Finally, Eun Hyun-jang confided that she goes to the police about 3 times a month because of complaints from Kim Se-ui's fans. "They complain all the time to shut me up. Kim Se-ui is not a man, and as long as he's not worried, more victims will appear."
Accusations of political collusion
At the same session, the Innovation Party, Lee Jun-seokCEO Kim Se-ui has close ties to those in power," he said, before denouncing the fact that "the special prosecutor is not conducting a proper investigation."
The parliamentarian added: "He uses political rhetoric, evoking martial law or insurrection scenarios, which fits perfectly with the Democratic Party's definition of 'inciting rebellion'. Yet not even the special prosecutor is seriously addressing this issue."
Eun Hyun-jang supported these remarks, saying that Kim Se-ui's activities go beyond the realm of mere entertainment and amount to genuine political interference.. "Members of his fan club are lodging complaints on his behalf, no doubt to avoid him being accused of false denunciations," he explained. "Because of all this, the The Master of Business has dispersed, and I still go to the police station three times a month."
Finally, Eun Hyun-jang concluded, "Kim Se-ui made comments such as, "If Lee Jae-myung becomes president, he will go to prison." This simply proves that he was protected during the administration of former president Yoon Suk-yeol. If the police don't start investigating now, more victims will continue to emerge."
