Yoo Seung-jun’s channel, which had previously had 29,000 subscribers, has reached 80,000 subscribers as of the 31st. An increase of nearly three times.
In this broadcast, Yoo Seung-jun appealed for resentment, saying, “It’s just that I couldn’t keep my promise,” for the act of avoiding military service by acquiring citizenship before enlisting in the military. He did not hide his anger, saying, “What kind of political criminal, rapist, child sex offender am I?”
In addition, he said, “Isn’t it that (young people) are more angry and degraded while seeing corruption and two faces of politicians working in the country because of the ridiculous circumstances of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae’s son’Emperor’s vacation’ and former Justice Minister Cho Kuk’s.” “Our enemy is red,” referring to North Korea’s policy toward North Korea, and made a political remark that “the president lowers the morale of the military.”
In addition, he expressed his views on issues that were not directly related to his entry problem, such as the Sewol ferry disaster, candlelight demonstrations, and the 2002 US military armored car female middle school student death.
The video itself was unfolded, but the number of views soared. There was no content that exceeded 200,000 of the videos uploaded before, but the controversial video exceeded 2.16 million views in a week.

Yoo Seung-joon said, “Today’s broadcast will be a bit long,” and “advertisement will appear in the middle,” before starting the broadcast on this day in earnest.

In the broadcast that day, the targets of Yoo Seung-jun’s anger were the government and the media. In particular, regarding his critical tone after the last broadcast, he said, “What is stimulating is out of the essence,” and said, “What is important about the content that a composer who is not very close to you and is’getting off’ with me. “Would you like to cut the bridge or not?” he raised his voice.
Composer Kim Hyung-seok, who gave songs to Yoo Seung-joon in the past, said that he lost his hand after a YouTube broadcast criticizing the Moon Jae-in administration, which was featured in the media.
He stressed that all of this was to blame and “instigate” himself. Yoo Seung-joon argued, “If you appeal to emotions and emotions and induce anger, you can agitate people. It has been useful as a request for agitation since Hitler abused Jews.”
In addition, he repeatedly emphasized the position that he had been hit by fake news, saying, “It’s shit,” and “dirty, nasty, and mean” to reporters and the media.
Following the last broadcast, “The son of Minister Choo Mi-ae, the daughter of the Minister of Korea, and Mr. Moon Joon-yong, the son of President Moon Jae-in, should all be equally applied,” he said. “If they have any offenses, they must pay the same amount of offenses as their crimes.” .
