On the 29th, Karacula revealed through a live broadcast on his YouTube channel that he plans to report 'God of Business' Eun Hyeon-jang to the police. Karacula said, "As the complainant, I intend to file a report with the economic team of the police station that has jurisdiction over Eun Hyeon-jang's residence. Isn't the right to file a complaint mine?"
He continued, "If he is confident and can clearly reveal the truth regarding the allegations, I hope he cooperates well with the police investigation," adding, "If he is found innocent or if there is insufficient evidence, he will be able to restore his reputation." Regarding suspicions that he is close friends with Eun Hyeon-jang, he explained, "Recently, I had a meal for about two hours at a certain izakaya in Cheongdam-dong with YouTuber Jeon Guk-jin and Eun Hyeon-jang. That was the only time. There is nothing more or less to connect us." He added, "Since we have become close friends, I will carefully prepare the complaint overnight and submit it to the police."
Karacula stated, "I will attach detailed materials regarding the current allegations against Eun Hyeon-jang, including stock manipulation and exaggerated advertising, and file the complaint," and said, "If Eun Hyeon-jang is confident that all the alleged illegal activities are false and that he only made slightly exaggerated statements in his videos, I believe he should sincerely cooperate with the investigation authorities."
Earlier, Eun Hyeon-jang, who operates the 'God of Business' YouTube channel, has been under suspicion since the 29th of last month for being connected to Chorokbaem Media, a chicken franchise company accused of stock manipulation during its operation and sale process. In response, he revealed account deposit records on his YouTube broadcast, stating that although he did not receive the 20 billion won sale proceeds all at once, he did receive the full amount. Regarding the stock manipulation allegations, he said, "I do not know what happened after selling the company to another party and have no interest," and added, "If I am connected to Chorokbaem Media, I will accept any punishment."
