On the 31st, Ju posted on his YouTube channel community, "It's been a while since I greeted you. Tomorrow (February 1st) at 9 PM, I plan to do a Twitch live broadcast. I will share what has happened over this period." Twitch is the internet broadcasting platform where Ju has been active, and the broadcast date coincides with the day the first trial verdict for the special education teacher is announced.

As a result, netizens are focusing their attention on Ju’s return after about six months since July 25th last year (based on the YouTube video upload date). It appears that during the broadcast, he intends to discuss the controversies, the trial process, and the verdict details.

Netizens who learned of this news responded with comments such as, "Parents tend to react extremely when it comes to issues involving their children, so I understand. I hope it resolves well without additional victims," "It seems the case is coming to a close. That's a relief," and "Regardless of who is the perpetrator or victim, it seems both have suffered irreparable wounds, which is unfortunate."

Previously, in September 2022, Ju sued a special education teacher A, who worked at an elementary school in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on charges of child abuse, alleging abuse of autistic children. The prosecution charged A with 'emotional child abuse' after determining that A made remarks such as "The child has bad manners" and "Ugh, I hate it. I hate it to death" while teaching Ju’s son.

However, in July last year, when Ju’s lawsuit became public, it was revealed via social media that Ju’s son had been separated from class after exposing his pants in front of classmates. The controversy intensified as Ju was criticized for suing the special education teacher without forgiveness, despite having been forgiven by the mother of the female student who was the victim. Additionally, Ju was criticized for secretly placing a voice recorder in his son’s bag to record the teacher’s class, claiming he wanted to understand the situation. Following this, Ju suspended his regular personal broadcasts.

Meanwhile, on the 15th, the prosecution requested a 10-month prison sentence for A during the sentencing hearing. The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education reinstated A, who had been suspended since August 1st last year due to the child abuse report.
