YouTuber Park We, operator of the channel Weracle, is facing renewed online scrutiny regarding a past camping video featuring visually impaired creator Oneshot Hansol, according to independent reports from kpophit.com and k-hallyunews.com. The re-emergence of this footage coincides with an ongoing public relations crisis that has already seen Park lose subscribers, cancel scheduled lectures, and delete dozens of channel videos following a public platform dispute with a transit worker.
Resurfaced Camping Footage Sparks New Debate Over Behavior
The renewed controversy centers on a collaborative video filmed at an outdoor camping site and originally posted on Oneshot Hansol’s channel, as detailed by kpophit.com. In the clip, Park We watches Oneshot Hansol push his own wheelchair and asks, “How are you able to do this when you can’t see? I’ll be watching you here.” According to the footage, Park deliberately withheld directions. When Oneshot Hansol chose a different path, Park remarked, “So you really couldn’t see.”
Later in the video, as Oneshot Hansol built a fire and grilled meat independently, Park made comments implying, “Honestly, you can see everything,” and, “I’ll admit this isn’t staged.” When the visually impaired creator peeled shrimp shells, Park expressed surprise to the production crew, stating, “This kid really peeled the shrimp.”
Public reaction to the resurfaced clips has split sharply. According to kpophit.com, while viewers initially treated the moments as lighthearted jokes, cooled public sentiment has prompted netizens to label the interactions disrespectful. Critics wrote comments such as, “How would you feel if someone asked if you can honestly move your legs?” and “It felt like bullying.” Conversely, defenders argue the content was scripted and built upon a long-standing friendship, warning against judging intent from isolated clips.
The KTX Platform Dispute and Channel Fallout
This latest wave of criticism builds on a severe backlash that began on August 21, when Park uploaded a video titled ‘The Reason I Am Releasing the CCTV Footage’, according to reporting highlighted by k-hallyunews.com. The initial upload featured an August 14 incident where Park’s wheelchair caught on a public service worker’s foot while disembarking from a KTX train, causing him to fall onto the platform. Although the worker followed standard ramp assistance protocols and offered a polite apology, Park published CCTV footage that allowed viewers to identify the staff member, displaying visible frustration.
As public criticism mounted, Park deleted the video on August 23 and posted an 11-line written apology acknowledging that he failed to consider the worker’s perspective and allowed emotional frustration to cloud his judgment. Despite the apology, the fallout severely impacted his platform. According to k-hallyunews.com, Weracle channel subscribers dropped from 1,000,000 to 950,000. Additionally, scheduled lectures were canceled, and Park voluntarily resigned from his role as an ambassador for the city of Seoul. Unfavorable commentary also targeted his wife, Song Ji-eun, and comedian Kim Ki-ri, prompting both to close their social media comment sections.
Did you know? Between August 26 and August 28, Park deleted 14 additional videos from the Weracle channel—including mobility clips like ‘How a Paraplegic Rides the KTX’—leaving a total of 785 uploads, as noted by k-hallyunews.com. Park has not issued an official explanation for these deletions.
Additional Allegations and Current Status
Beyond the transit and camping controversies, Park has faced a wave of secondary accusations. According to the original source material, he has been targeted with unverified claims regarding school violence, as well as criticism concerning an older travel video documenting a trip to Kenya. Park has not publicly addressed these subsequent allegations or the ongoing circulation of the Oneshot Hansol camping video.
