Malicious YouTuber Sojang Recruited Part-Time Workers To Slander IVE’s Wonyoung

A malicious YouTuber, Park, who runs the gossip channel Sojang has been known to slander celebrities including IVE‘s Wonyoung and BTS‘s V and Jungkook. Recently, she has been sentenced to 4 years in jail.

However, it has now come to light that she would recruit part-time workers and pay them to write hate comments about IVE’s Wonyoung.

I’m looking for people to criticize Jang Wonyoung’s expression on YouTube every time there’s a video about her being made… I will pay you 50 won (~$0.04 USD) for a short comment and 100 won (~$0.07 USD) for a long comment.

— Park

An example of a long comment that was shown stated,

She has the expression of someone [redacted] at a club; Why would a young kid do that? Purposely making [redacted] expressions… She’s being so harmful to young kids;

— Hate comment

Netizens left comments in defense of Wonyoung, appalled by the lengths Park went to torment her.

• “I don’t think she did it alone, lol.”
• “I feel so bad for Wonyoung. Because of these manipulated rumors, some people were really brainwashed into thinking it’s true… She’s just pretty.”
• “That person is insane. It’s a real illness.”
• “If it’s this bad while freelancing, they must be full-time at HYBE by now… The manipulation was already revealed.”
• “She’s so far above them that it’s not even worth being jealous of, lol. Why go to such lengths…”
• “This is crazy…”
• “Leave Wonyoung alone, you guys. She’s still so young, what kind of life has she been living”
• “HYBE is already massively manipulating things anyway, lol.”
• “Why go this far…”
• “Looks like they were paid off by that person.”
• “Why would you do such a thing to a young girl? Seriously.”
• “What do they even gain from doing this…?”
