They explained, "I was notified of a DDoS attack from a person presumed to be an acquaintance of the perpetrator," adding, "In fact, there was an attempt of excessive overseas traffic access to a specific video early yesterday morning." They continued, "My social networking service (SNS) has been flooded with abusive comments from ghost accounts, including threats involving my family," and "This morning, through an acquaintance of mine, there was even an attempt to persuade me to stop by offering a realistic amount of money in fifty-thousand won bills."


Caracula announced, "I was wrong. Mentally, this is very hard. I am very sorry for not recognizing how great these people are. I will never do it again," and added, "As a creator, I need to protect my channel and also consider my personal safety, so I may need to take a break for a while."

However, there was a twist in the post. At the bottom of the post, Caracula expressed disbelief, saying, "They messed up badly. Is that all? Is this the only thing they have?" and "Is this the best they could come up with to silence me? This is really too much. What do they take me for?"


They then revealed messages received from the perpetrator’s acquaintance. The acquaintance warned, "If you do not take down the personal information, I will attack your YouTube channel with traffic from Russia, China, and India," and "If you cause pain to my precious people, Caracula, you will suffer the same."


Netizens who saw this responded with support, saying things like "I will support you until the end," "I am lending my strength," "Thank you for fighting for justice," and "Please show that justice will prevail," encouraging Caracula.

Meanwhile, controversy also arose when the past actions of a man in his 20s, who drove a Rolls-Royce vehicle near Apgujeong Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and crashed onto the sidewalk causing serious injuries to a woman in her 20s, were revealed on the 2nd.


As a result of the accident, the victim suffered fractures in both legs and serious injuries to her abdomen and head, and was transferred to a hospital for surgery.

The suspect, Mr. A, who was caught in the act, tested positive for 'ketamine' in a police drug screening. Ketamine is used as a general anesthetic but also has analgesic and hallucinogenic effects, and is known as a 'club drug.'


Mr. A was detained on charges including violation of the Special Act on Traffic Accident Processing but was reportedly released around 3 p.m. on the 3rd, 17 hours later.


In response, Caracula revealed the identity of the perpetrator, stating, "The full-body tattooed perpetrator who not only crushed a woman in her 20s but also caused a disturbance to the responding police officers is Shin WooX, born in 1995."


Caracula also claimed that Mr. Shin appeared on SBS’s pilot program 'Song For You' in 2013. 'Song For You' was a program aimed at rehabilitating troubled youth through singing under the guidance of singers Lee Seung-chul and Uhm Jung-hwa.


At that time, Mr. Shin confessed to school violence, saying things like "I was expelled from school twice," "I buried other students in the ground," and "I bullied many friends when I was young."


Caracula further claimed, "Mr. Shin organized a new criminal group called 'MT5' in Gangnam, created a virtual currency overseas exchange, and enabled drug transactions via Telegram using it as a payment method."


Caracula added, "Mr. Shin and his gang spent tens of millions of won weekly at clubs and spent hundreds of millions on hiring lawyers at major law firms, wielding tremendous power with 'money' as their weapon."
