YouTube Channel Faces Backlash For Apologizing After Cignature’s Jeewon Is Pressured To Do Porn
Recently, the YouTube show No Bbaku Tak Jae Hoon (romanized from 노빠꾸탁재훈) issued an apology following backlashing over a recent guest star’s comments to Cignature‘s Jeewon.
In a recent episode, Japanese porn star Yuna Ogura suggested that Jeewon become an adult video actress, resulting in backlash over the “inappropriate” comments.

The broadcast team apologized for the circumstances in an apology posted to the YouTube channel’s board.
Hello, this is the production team of No Bbaku Tak Jae Hoon.
First and foremost, to all viewers who may have felt uncomfortable watching the recent ‘Tanaka & Yuna Ogura’ episode, we sincerely apologize without any excuses.
This issue is entirely due to the oversight of the production team. We acknowledge that there was a lack of consideration for Jeewon, who recently joined as the host, as the viewers have expressed. The production team met with Jeewon and representatives from C9 Entertainment to convey a heartfelt apology.
Furthermore, during the filming, Mr. Tak Jae Hoon realized that the questions directed at Jeewon were inappropriate. And while he opposed it, we apologize to him for the editing process that may not have properly reflected his intentions, done solely for the sake of entertainment.
We have produced the program with the concept of providing enjoyment to male viewers under the 노빠꾸 (no backing down) concept. However, as the channel has grown with overwhelming love and interest, we deeply regret not being more aware of the potential societal controversy our oversight could cause, and we apologize once again.
Following this controversy, the entire production team promises to pay closer attention throughout the content creation process. We will strive to repay the support of those who cheer for us with the entertainment of No Bbaku Tak Jae Hoon.

Watchers of the YouTube channel felt very differently than those complaining, commenting their distaste of the apology.
- “Why apologize for being attacked by extreme leftist feminist media outlets when the channel is literally for a male audience?”
- “F*ck, don’t apologize. Why is everyone playing along with what the reporters are stirring up?”
- “At this point, it might make more sense for the female member to leave. There were no issues until now, but all this since Season 3 started… They took on a female member, and now the feminists and their fans are making a fuss.”
- “The attitude of the production team is getting on my nerves. This show will walk straight down the path that Infinite Challenge did. I’m canceling my subscription in advance. I don’t like seeing feminist agendas pushed, so I don’t watch any national broadcast channels and instead choose channels of YouTube creators. There’s no reason to watch broadcasts that drag along feminist agendas onto YouTube.”
- “Change the YouTube name altogether. WDYM no backing down? You’re obviously backing down. LOL. Don’t cater to those who don’t even watch your YouTube channel.”
