Episode 468: Korean TikToker w/ 55M Fans Is LYING To Fans About Being Innocent After Being Found GUILTY of SA
What do you do when your favorite creator, YouTuber, or tiktoker stops posting? They just completely disappear. No warning, no community post. Just gone.
Are you convinced they are sick?
That they’re just taking a break and coming back?
Usually the first two are the natural internet reactions especially when creators go missing for too long.
Sometimes the real reason is lot scarier than that…
Mamaguy, a Korean tiktoker swears that it wasn’t him who roundhouse kicked the woman in Busan on the CCTV. He swears that’s NOT the reason why he took a few years off from the public eye.
Which, to be fair, is true. The real assaulter who went viral for randomly round-housing a woman was found and charged with 20 years in prison.
So then why was ‘Mamaguy,’ absent from social media? Absent from society as a whole?
Sometimes when creators go missing online it’s completely nothing. They’re taking a break. Or just decided to stop making content. Maybe they’re burnt out.
Or, it could be much more sinister than that.
