On the 13th, Han Jun-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, publicly criticized Kim Eo-jun, urging him to responsibly apologize and discuss preventive measures concerning a controversy linked to Kim's YouTube channel. In an interview on CBS Radio, Han acknowledged the unpredictability of live broadcasts, suggesting that the lack of fact-checking prior to airing could lead to serious misinformation. He emphasized the need for accountability from platforms like Kim's, which are influential in shaping public opinion, to maintain their credibility.

The controversy stemmed from comments made by a former journalist on Kim's live broadcast on the 10th, alleging that a high-ranking government official close to President Lee Jae-myung had requested a dismissal of charges against several prosecutors. This allegation sparked significant backlash, with Han insisting that there should be checks on political guests appearing on such platforms to prevent misleading claims that could damage trust in the media. Han expressed that proper procedure requires public figures to address issues responsibly after the fact.

In response, Kim Eo-jun, during his own live stream, vehemently denied the accusations leveled against him, asserting that the allegations made during the broadcast were not supported by any script or prior discussion. He indicated that if any legal actions were pursued against him, he would respond by claiming false accusations. This back-and-forth reflects the heightened tensions in the political landscape of South Korea, with both sides preparing for potential conflict.
