Here’s the latest update to her case.
Mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang hosted a live stream on July 19, 2024. This was the first time that she was speaking out since her first explosive reveal of her abuse the previous week.
In the latest video, she exposed YouTuber Gujeyeok who had previously reportedly been blackmailing her. He had denied taking money from her.
Tzuyang revealed that he had emailed her consistently, sending her links that contained threatening videos. He had created content about her past, setting the videos to unlisted, sending them to her on the threat of revealing it to the public.
He then received ₩55.0 million KRW (about $39,900 USD) from her after threatening to reveal it to the public. The contents of the video was regarding tax evasion, but Tzuyang had not been involved in this, given that her ex-CEO and ex-boyfriend had taken all her video profits. Tzuyang vowed to the public that she would submit all her financial papers and undergo investigations to prove this.
Later on, it was revealed that Gujeyeok received tip-offs about Tzuyang from her ex-CEO’s lawyer. He approached Tzuyang after the ex-CEO took his own life. Tzuyang’s director and producer met the lawyer on her behalf. The lawyer asked Tzuyang to promote his products. Upon refusing to, he threatened her, receiving ₩1.65 million KRW (about $1,200 USD) a month, totalling ₩23.0 million KRW (about $16,700 USD).
Tzuyang also denied having done any prostitution, despite the rumors spread by such YouTubers.
