This “Burning Trotman” participant caused controversy over tormenting an autistic student, but his middle-aged female fans still support him
“Burning Trotman” participant Hwang Young Woong’s controversy continues to escalate.
Regarding this, many people are turning their backs on Hwang Young Woong and criticizing him, but some middle-aged female fans still support him.
The video of entertainment reporter-turned-YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who first exposed Hwang Young Woong’s injury criminal record, even included a comment saying that Hwang Young Woong bullied a student who suffered from autism during school days.
The informant claimed, “I saw him tormenting an autistic student in the same grade. Beating the weak was just a light thing to him. I also remember that he said his father was a gangster while smoking.”
Earlier, a woman claiming to be Hwang Young Woong’s ex-girlfriend appeared on the viewer bulletin board of MBN’s “Burning Trotman”. She claimed that she had been subjected to dating violence in the past, and that her older brother had received settlement money from Hwang Young Woong’s side in the condition of information deletion.
Besides, a post saying there were many problems that occurred during his military life popped up.
As the controversy continued to intensify, Hwang Young Woong eventually apologized through a statement, “I deeply apologize to those who were affected due to my shortcomings and mistakes. As I became an adult, I looked back, regretted and reflected on the things that happened in the past. I’m truly sorry for hurting the friends with whom I was on good terms. I’ll meet them in person to apologize and ask for forgiveness.”
Regarding this, many fans who supported Hwang Young Woong turned their backs on him, saying his mistakes were excessive. Nevertheless, some fans showed reactions such as “Won’t mistakes and errors make him more mature? Even if he made mistakes, I still support him”, “The future is important, so please sing good songs faithfully to the present”…
Looking at the nicknames by which they commented, it is believed that they are middle-aged female fans. Some responded, “His middle-aged female fans are using shields of blood (when scandal or allegation happens, someone tries to protect the people involved too much).”
