YouTuber Karacula, who was sentenced to probation after being involved in the Tzuyang fraud incident, is making a comeback after a year.
On the 27th, Karacula posted a video titled “Hello after a long time” on his YouTube channel.
In the video, Karacula said, “I am greeting you in front of the camera after a year,” and added, “First of all, I sincerely apologize to everyone for causing a great social controversy and public outrage. Everything happened because of my shortcomings and lack of qualifications. I am sorry.”
He continued, “I am a clown. A clown is someone who brings laughter and tears for the public, but during the past time, I forgot my duty as a clown and caused disappointment and anger to my audience.”
Karacula also stated, “The steep rise in subscribers and the resulting increase in recognition led me to lose sight of my purpose, and ultimately, I faced the consequences. Looking into the abyss for a long time made me overlook the saying that the abyss looks back at me, which was a result of my own actions.”
He added, “In this time when all sorts of suspicions and false facts about me are rampant, I will not bother to clarify what is true and what is false. Hiding from the world out of fear of criticism and ridicule does not erase the mistakes I made, and for the countless people who have supported and encouraged our channel, I believe it is my duty to cleanse the name ‘Karacula’ that I have tarnished, no matter how long it takes.”
Karacula stated, “I will show my reflection on past mistakes not just in words but through actions,” and emphasized, “Please watch my future steps. If given another chance, I will become someone who can repay that trust.”
Karacula has changed the channel name to ‘Karacula Animal Rescue.’ He mentioned, “Currently, the channel's revenue is halted, and there are no plans for a sponsorship account,” adding, “I will take responsibility for all my past misdeeds and move forward quietly. I am truly sorry.”
Meanwhile, Karacula was arrested and indicted in connection with the Tzuyang fraud incident and was sentenced to one year in prison with a three-year probation in the first trial in February.
