"My Mistake to Think He Would Change Even a Little"

Alongside school violence, YouTuber Jigi, who had declared a halt to his activities after being caught for drunk driving, is now accused of attempting to sue the victim who had exposed the school violence.

On the 5th, a lengthy post and recorded conversations were uploaded on an online community under the title "I am the person involved with JigiTV." The author of the post was victim A, who had previously revealed that she was a victim of school violence by YouTuber Jigi (real name Lim Dong-gyu), the operator of the sports YouTube channel 'JigiTV.'

A stated, "I am truly bewildered. I don't know what they were thinking when editing it that way, but if they were going to upload it, wouldn't it be right to upload the original?" and released three recorded phone conversations with Jigi. This was a rebuttal to a video Jigi had posted on his YouTube channel explaining the controversies and allegations related to school violence and drunk driving.

In the video, Jigi refuted the previous allegations posted by A. He emphasized, "The reason for the transfer was not extortion or assault," and claimed, "The school I attended at the time was a newly established school, so all students involved in student affairs incidents were transferred," adding that more than 10% of the entire student body was transferred or withdrew.

Regarding A, he said, "I am ashamed of my immature behavior back then and thought I should apologize to my friend, so I met and talked with her in 2020. Victim A accepted my apology," and added, "I even offered to help in any way I could, meeting several times a week to exercise and share knowledge I had," while revealing the mobile messenger exchanges they had.

He continued, "Seeing the chain of false facts spreading, leading to threats and excessive criticism toward my family and acquaintances, was very painful," and reiterated, "I am not someone who continuously bullies the weak, extorts money, or threatens others."

He also added that it was not him but A who bullied a disabled student.

However, the recordings released by A included content that Jigi was among the group who severely bullied the disabled student and that bullying the disabled student was one of the main reasons for the forced transfer.

Additionally, in the recordings, Jigi himself said things like, "I went to your house and masturbated even though you told me not to."

A explained the situation at the time, saying, "(Jigi) came to our house without permission, and despite my crying and begging, he publicly masturbated and tried to spread his bodily fluids on the floor," adding, "To stop him, I hastily spread newspapers and tissues on the floor and barely managed to stop him, and in the end, I cleaned it up myself."

Regarding the reason for the additional exposure, she said, "(Jigi) requested that I stop writing more posts and said he wouldn't care whether I continued YouTube activities as long as I didn't deny the facts, and I kept that promise."

She continued, "But tonight, I received a message saying he intended to sue me and my friends, and I told him, 'If you really do that, I will have no choice but to respond as well.'"

A added, "It was my mistake to think he had changed even a little, if not completely," and said, "If you want to defame me with facts, go ahead. I am scared, but I will not back down any further."

Finally, A disclosed the conversation exchanged with Jigi. When A said, "You edited only the favorable parts well," and "Fortunately, I have the original (recordings)," Jigi replied, "Okay, let's settle it in court."

Afterward, Jigi apologized to A, saying, "I'm sorry," and A responded, "If words and actions differ, only actions are truthful."
