[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Yeonwoo, a former member of the group Momoland, responded with 'a word' to a netizen who left malicious comments while encouraging petitions related to the 'Nth Room' case.

On the 28th, Yeonwoo posted two screenshots of Blue House national petitions related to the Telegram 'Nth Room' case on her SNS.

The first petition she posted was titled 'Please exclude Judge Oh Mo, who is in charge of the Nth Room case, from the case.' This petition was posted on the 27th and stated that the judge was criticized for having a past of giving lenient sentences to numerous sex offenders.

The second petition was 'Please investigate the perpetrators of 'Ji-in Neung-yok' who are connected to the Nth Room.' This refers to a method where personal information of acquaintances or ordinary people is disclosed, and photos are falsely synthesized to cause sexual shame to the victims.

It is presumed that Yeonwoo conveyed the intention to encourage petitions through the captured images.

In response, a netizen left a malicious comment saying, "Do you even know what the separation of powers is to make such a petition?"

Yeonwoo replied to the comment, saying, "Rather than wanting practical change, I petitioned for public awareness, hoping that the people I love share the same feelings. Please don’t worry, I raised my voice with discernment to judge right and wrong as a person, not because of where I live, how old I am, or who I am."

She added, "Do you think I would act without studying? If you know a bit, let's file a complaint together."

Earlier, on the 24th, Yeonwoo confirmed via Instagram that 'Doctor' Jo Joo-bin, the perpetrator of the Nth Room, was following her and said, "Don’t worry. I blocked him. Do you avoid poop because you’re scared? You avoid it because it’s dirty," she said.
