[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] "You XXX! Jo Doo-soon, come out right now!", "Hey! Come out, you XX!", "If you like this, I'll drag Jo Doo-soon out right now!"

Jo Doo-soon (68), an elementary school student sex offender, was released after serving his full sentence on the 12th. Since then, the residential area where he lives has been in chaos due to YouTubers visiting his residence. From 7 PM on the 11th, the day before Jo Doo-soon's release, until 9 AM on the 13th, there were 70 complaints reported to the police related to YouTubers causing inconvenience to residents.

Most of these complaints involved loud shouting near Jo Doo-soon's house or live streaming that caused noise disturbances, leading to residents' dissatisfaction.

According to media reports, it is estimated that over 150 YouTubers have come and gone in the alley near the residential area where Jo Doo-soon is staying. Most YouTubers said they intended to punish Jo Doo-soon to expand their YouTube channel subscribers and receive donations.

One YouTuber said, "If you subscribe now, I will break into Jo Doo-soon's house and drag him out," encouraging viewers to support them. Another YouTuber ordered delivery food to Jo Doo-soon's address. In one incident, a YouTuber ordered Jajangmyeon delivery in front of Jo Doo-soon's house and did a 'mukbang' (eating broadcast), which led to a scuffle with another YouTuber, causing significant confusion.

Residents in the videos expressed great discomfort. A resident living near Jo Doo-soon's house said, "They keep shouting loudly, saying they will kill Jo Doo-soon while broadcasting, which is very uncomfortable and makes me anxious."

Another resident said, "It seems like they keep provoking Jo Doo-soon," adding, "(The YouTubers) can just leave, but we cannot," and pleaded, "Please consider our feelings."

Meanwhile, three YouTubers were booked on charges of obstructing official duties by kicking and damaging the escort vehicle carrying Jo Doo-soon and breaking its windshield. One individual broadcaster (BJ, Broadcasting Jockey) blocked the escort vehicle carrying the released Jo Doo-soon while being completely undressed. The BJ said during the broadcast, "I have to wear clothes, or the broadcast will be suspended."

In another case, a BJ secretly climbed onto a delivery vehicle in motion to try to enter the area where Jo Doo-soon lives. Also, a high school student, A (17), was caught climbing the wall behind Jo Doo-soon's house by climbing a gas pipe and was arrested by the police on suspicion of attempted trespassing.

One resident, unable to tolerate the situation any longer, strongly protested against the YouTubers. A nearby resident said, "(YouTubers) What were you doing 12 years ago?" and angrily added, "Isn't this just about increasing your number of supporters, subscribers, and begging for star balloons?"

Netizens also poured out strong criticism. One netizen pointed out, "This is not about punishing Jo Doo-soon but just about increasing their subscribers," and said, "They have no conscience."

Meanwhile, the police plan to strictly investigate and punish any illegal activities or resident complaints according to the law.
