[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] YouTuber Kim Yong-ho, who had been revealing celebrities' private lives, has announced a complete halt to his YouTube activities.


On the 27th, Kim shared this news through a live broadcast on his YouTube channel 'Kim Yong-ho Entertainment Chief.' He said, "While attacking others as monsters, I realized that there was another monster inside me, and I thought I should stop before going further out of control," adding, "I don't think I will be able to broadcast until I become confident in myself."


During the broadcast, Kim mentioned the celebrities he had raised suspicions about through his YouTube broadcasts. He said, "I wondered if I had been too intoxicated by the knife stabbing others, if I had stained my knife with too much blood. Too much resentment had accumulated."


He continued, "In the beginning, I had to be strong because I started from a barren land with nothing. After that, I became too absorbed in it, which led to recklessness, and as a result, I was sued many times and faced trials, reflecting that I 'crossed the line.'"


Kim also said, "I think I played my role during the era of leftist dictatorship." Then he added, "At some point, I became power. Even celebrities who were close to me these days find me difficult," and said, "It was good that I served as a warning to leftist celebrities like Jung Woo-sung and Kim Je-dong, but at some point, I became arrogant."


He broke down in tears, saying, "I will whip myself more harshly." He emphasized, "I am not being threatened or pressured. It is my own problem."


Earlier, Kim was prosecuted for defamation and other charges after raising allegations about former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's 'actress sponsorship.' Recently, he was sued after exposing private life suspicions about celebrities and public figures such as Han Ye-seul, Park Soo-hong, Park Yoo-chun, and Lee Geun.


Kim became an issue maker as an 'exposure YouTuber' by raising suspicions including Han Ye-seul's partner's past, Park Soo-hong's dating violence allegations, and Park Yoo-chun's alleged sexual relations with fans. However, he eventually became embroiled in controversy and criticism over his private life after a video was released containing his voice verbally abusing an employee at a nightlife establishment.



Meanwhile, Kim's YouTube channel 'Kim Yong-ho Entertainment Chief,' run by a former entertainment reporter, has about 665,000 subscribers.
