A famous YouTuber with 1.19 million subscribers is facing criticism for posting a photo that highlights a specific body part of a flight attendant.
The YouTuber 'Youngalnam', who shares English conversation and travel content, uploaded a video titled "There was an incident with the airplane seat. It's not just someone else's problem. Be careful" on the 12th.
In this video, the thumbnail used was a close-up photo of a foreign female flight attendant's upper body, which was unrelated to the content. Some viewers pointed out that it seemed like a clickbait photo to increase views. Youngalnam lightly acknowledged this criticism, responding to a sexually suggestive comment saying, "I feel healed by the thumbnail" with "Be happy."
Subsequently, the thumbnail of the video spread through multiple social media platforms and online communities, escalating the issue. Some netizens strongly criticized it as 'illegal filming.'
Ultimately, it seems Youngalnam recognized the controversy and changed the video thumbnail. While the controversial thumbnail highlighted the flight attendant's body, the new photo reveals her face.
Additionally, there has been no further statement regarding the controversy.
Born in 1991, Youngalnam is an English instructor and YouTuber who has been uploading content related to English and cultures of English-speaking countries since 2016.
