Main Story
Questions are being raised about the future of the YouTube channel “Yang Hong-won’s Parenting Diary” after new social media activity by one of its producers drew attention alongside the rapper’s ongoing affair allegations.
As of the 11th, the social media account of producer Ahn Jun-won, who has been involved in the channel’s direction and filming through the production company Solfa Studio, was no longer following Yang Hong-won. The account was still following Yang’s wife, Won Hyun-ju, according to the report.
The channel launched in May and has documented the daily lives of Yang, Won, and their daughter, Rua. The series attracted attention by showing Yang in a family role different from his public image as a rapper, and it has since exceeded 500,000 subscribers. Won Hyun-ju also became widely recognized through the channel.
Following the emergence of affair allegations, the production team limited comments on the videos and postponed some planned content. At the time, the team said it was checking the facts related to the matter and would temporarily restrict comments to protect the participants while verification was underway.
Some video titles were also changed. One clip that had originally been released under the title “Hongwon Team’s Big Cleaning Operation Without Hong-won” was later retitled “Cleaning Day.” The report did not specify why the title was altered.
A wedding episode that had been scheduled for release on the 29th of last month also did not appear on the planned date. The team had previously announced that it would show video covering the full course of the wedding from the day before the ceremony.
The article notes that interest in the channel’s future has increased after the social media follow relationship between Ahn and Yang changed, while Ahn still follows Won. However, the production team has not issued an official statement about whether production has been halted or how the channel will be managed going forward.
According to the article, Yang married Won on the 18th of last month, and five days later, on the 23rd, allegations emerged that he had accompanied another woman to a motel. His agency, AP Alchemy, acknowledged that he had gone to the motel but denied allegations of sexual conduct there. The agency also said the accuser had demanded money and threatened them, and said it was taking legal action.
Afterward, Won deleted all of her social media posts and it became known that the couple had unfollowed each other. Yang also deleted wedding photos from his own account.
