“The civic dictatorship is a fact that came out because I could not control it, and I apologize.”
Webtoon star writer Joo Ho-min (39) apologized via a YouTube broadcast on the 19th for the controversy surrounding the so-called “citizen dictatorship” comment. Joo Ho-min said on the Twitch video platform on the 18th: “If the country used to censor, now citizens and readers do. The era of civil dictatorship has begun. ”“ Citizen dictatorships that are censored will become more severe. There’s no hope. “This comment was controversial as the author apologized when a controversy criticized the misogyny of popular writer Kian 84 (real name Kim Hee-min, 36) from Naver’s webtoon` `The King of Rehabilitation ” and the Cartoonist Sak (real name Shin Joong-Seok) fighting webtoon “ Helper. ” He came from a situation.
Because of this, webtoon star writer Joo Ho-min, who is famous for being the original author of the movie ‘With God’, which surpassed ’10 million viewers’, actually concluded Gian 84 by boosting the claim of that “a de facto censorship violates freedom of expression.” It was controversial.
On the 19th, the day after the controversy, Joo Ho-min broadcast ‘Words of Apology’ through his YouTube channel. It’s about 9 minutes and 47 seconds. Joo Ho-min apologized for the ‘citizen dictatorship’ comments, while clarifying criticisms such as ‘covering up for Gian 84’ raised by some.
◇ “‘The comments of the citizens’ dictatorship are exaggerated … I was not careful when choosing the words”
The broadcast where the controversial comments came out is the content of ‘Weeplash’. It is a broadcast that receives manuscripts from aspiring webtoon writers and provides corrections. Ho-min Joo said: “There are works that could not be submitted even though I applied for WePerlash. There are some that are of poor quality, but we cannot submit content that violates human rights in the sense of common sense.” He said such things should not be drawn. “
Ho-min Joo said, “All problems arise here. It means the standards are different, but the standard I thought of was ‘it doesn’t matter who watches.’ At the same time, they presented cartoons of victims of war or congenital diseases and sexual content of minors as inappropriate.
Joo Ho-min said, “No matter how much freedom of speech is guaranteed, such things should not be taken out. Other than that, public censorship became very severe,” he said. He said, “It was Weeplash’s last time so we talked about it. If you have the courage and think it is fun, draw. I spoke from that point of view, but was not careful to choose the words in the process.
Ho-min Joo said, “The civic dictatorship and these things are statements that I have not been able to control, and I am very sorry for that,” he said. “I don’t know the right word, but (the expression of civil dictatorship) is an exaggeration.”
◇ “I don’t see Gian 84 cartoon … Speaking of general mood”
Joo Ho-min also clarified if it was a comment to defend other writers, such as Gian 84 from ‘The King of Restoration’ or Sak from ‘Helper’. Joo Ho-min said, “A lot of people ask if it’s about Gian 84 or the assistant that they don’t understand, but (sorry for both of them) they don’t watch cartoons. “In the past, a novice writer drew the content of the bullying children of Iljin. However, there was a comment that said, “How can I draw something like this?”, And the writer explained that it was “the content of the Iljins being rehabilitated through true education.” I discarded it. It looked very strange. “
Joo Ho-min said, “This situation is getting worse. The same is true not only for webtoons, but also for web novels and entertainment shows. Yesterday is not today’s problem, “he said.” I expressed my concern about those things, but in the meantime, I used radical words. Sorry.”
Ho-min Joo said, “This standard is bound to rise,” he said. “People have the desire to have others recognize their knowledge, and then the standards are higher and higher.” He said: “It is not just a problem in our country, there are many things of this kind all over the world.”
◇ “Cheonan’s photo, I’m completely wrong … sorry”
He also explained his criticisms of his political orientation. He said, “Apart from this, all of a sudden, those things (attacks) on political tendencies just came along.” “(Criticism of political trends) sounds like a story like, ‘The people who created this atmosphere are this regime, and what are you talking about supporting this regime?’ Even if the regime changes, it doesn’t mean it will stop. ” He said, “This is the worst in America, but does America know who the president is right now?” And he said, “I don’t know how it connects.”
He also apologized and clarified for drawing a cartoon of the Cheonan bombing. He said: “It was drawn 10 years ago, but at the time of the drawing it was a situation where opinions were sharply divided without a conclusion,” he said. “I started working on a cartoon on the other side.” “There was the ‘human torpedo theory’ that was famous at the time, and I drew it, but as a result, it’s right that North Korea did. I’m completely wrong, “he said.” In that sense, I have nothing to say except a huge apology. Sorry.”
Joo Ho-min said, “Of course, there are many things that I have said in the past that are wrong and there are too many mistakes. When I think about it now, there are a lot of things that are ridiculous, “he said.” Because I can’t back down, I know what I did wrong and I just live. Sorry.”
He said, “I try to be that person, but I often make mistakes.” “I hope they forgive me generously. I continually apologize, saying, “I’m sorry.”
◇ The following is the full text of Joo-min’s main comments on the “citizen dictatorship”, which was swept away by controversy.
“It is a webtoon now. Censorship has really gotten worse, but it was done domestically in the past. Now citizens and readers do. The era of civil dictatorship has begun. This is a big problem. It’s very important. It really shouldn’t be like that.
This is possible because it usually happens because of the idea that you are morally superior. Ah! That is not true. The way to broaden those thoughts is because when you meet someone with a different idea or job, you define them as wild and try to illuminate them. I have to show that the reason I’m right is not that you’re wild, and that things like this will be better if I do, but I’ve never proved it. You are always a barbarian type, always going this way, you are quite repulsive and weird. Perhaps the United States will also get worse.
Civil dictator. Censor each other. So, there is no hope, and what I liked the most was when I was drawing cartoons before. The 2000s I was drawing was the best. Now, as citizens censure citizens, I cannot do anything. You are drawing cartoons in very difficult times. You have to keep thinking about it. Can I draw it? I can do this? If it is not normal think about it. Anyway, it’s a shame.
So I’m just going to YouTube. Anyway, those who draw cartoons, give it a try and draw once you think it’s fun. What’s wrong with this right now is that even though I didn’t do anything wrong or wrong, I just got into it. If they catch you wrong. So you apologize, right? There may be nothing wrong with it, but you apologize and you’re not sincere. Even if I am not sincere. Just killing him is fun. Lose more if you apologize. Anyway, I am living a very tired time. And there is no statute of limitations. So I don’t know what to do. Would it be different if I said this? I don’t care if you’re going to swear by this again. Thank you anyway. In the end, I was a bit serious. Do we end up playing the recorder? Recorder or dream “.
