The wedding of YouTuber Park Wi, who has quadriplegia, and former SECRET member Song Ji Eun has sparked some controversy due to a speech made by Park Wi's younger brother. The comments led to edits in a video shared on YouTube.
On October 12, Park Wi uploaded a video of the wedding on his YouTube channel Wiracle. During the video, Park Wi’s younger brother gave a speech that drew attention.
He shared a story about his brother, saying, “I was always worried about how my brother would manage. Then, Ji Eun came into his life. Not long ago, they were working out at the gym, and something happened where there was a bit of a smell. My brother asked Ji Eun if she noticed, and she said, ‘Just a little, but don’t worry. I’ll handle it.’”
He added, “That was the most reassuring thing I’ve ever heard. After that, I felt like I could let my brother go and trust Ji Eun. Goodbye, brother.”
However, some viewers found the speech offensive. They criticized the brother for implying that it was a "relief" to pass the responsibility of caring for Park Wi onto Song Ji Eun. Some netizens felt the comments were inconsiderate toward Song Ji Eun and her family.
As the backlash grew, parts of the speech were edited out of the video.
Park Wi, who has been living with quadriplegia since a 2014 accident, married Song Ji Eun on October 9.
