The infamous YouTube channel Sojang posts an apology for her controversial past content following the channel's deletion

AKP STAFF

In a surprising turn of events, the infamous YouTube channel, Sojang, has recently apologized for the controversies surrounding her past videos. 

Known for provocative and often divisive videos, the channel's owner and content creator, Sojang, expressed remorse and a desire for redemption. This unexpected move has sparked a wave of speculation and discussion within the online community.

Sojang has been notoriously known for spreading false information and rumors about popular K-pop idols and Korean celebrities. The K-pop fandom community often criticized the channel as it caused much harm to idols through the baseless, malicious information it spread through its videos.

Recently, K-pop fans celebrated the deletion of the controversial channel after the channel was hacked and then subsequently deleted. 

Then on June 29, Sojang took to a popular online community and posted an apology, revealing her name and reflecting on her past actions.

She wrote, "Hello, this is Park Joo Ah, the one who operated Sojang (the YouTube channel). I knew how malicious my videos were from the moment I uploaded my first video until my account was hacked. I must have been an attention seeker." Sojang explained that she was able to receive views and earn money through video views as she spread malicious information about famous idols and actors. She elaborated, "I must have been crazy because of the views and the money. Either way, I was crazy." 

Sojang also directed her apology to the countless idols and celebrities who were hurt by her videos. She wrote, "When BTS' V said he knew of my channel, I acted more like an attention seeker and I apologize for attacking him even more. I apologize to Jang Won Young who mentally suffered from the videos that I made by piecing together videos and photos from the web and creating false information. I apologize to all the people who suffered mentally from the videos that I spread false information through. I apologize to their fans as well. After my channel disappeared, I was able to think again about my crimes. The reason I am posting this is not to avoid legal complaints from the agencies or celebrities. I will accept the lawsuits. I am so sorry to the celebrities."


She also added that she had created another channel with the same name but will continue posting YouTube videos of different content. She explained, "The channel name will be the same as before. But my channel's objectives and goals will be very different. I will not create videos like in the past. I will create videos that will be of positive influence to the celebrities. Lastly, I will donate all the profit from the videos I make."

She concluded the letter by saying, "I know my crimes of about two years will not be forgiven with just the words 'I'm sorry'. I'm really sorry. I apologize. I am sorry to the people who were hurt by my videos and sorry to the subjects of my videos."

Bye bye. Your channel was despicable to say the least. Instead posting "positive content first", just post apologies to EVERY individual you've hurt and end it after that. No one wants to see anything else from you.

I doubt the 'hacking' was even real. I bet she was getting contacted from companies and threatened (or even sued already) with lawsuits and decided to try and play the 'victim' card. Have her channel be 'hacked', delete all the content. Then start over with a 'new leaf' and attempt to leverage the hacking and play for sympathy and second chance.
