[All] The ultimate summary of the controversy over Wawakgud: From foul language, fan games, copyright, to the collapse of Wakmulwon (ft. Lee Sedol's abyss)

The full story of the controversy surrounding Wooakgud! From fan game copyright infringement to past abusive language and the collapse of the community… Check out the full story of the situation that spread to Lee Sedol.

 

1. The beginning of the incident: Fan game 'WaxyMax' and DJMAX copyright infringement

 

The beginning of all the controversy was the rhythm game 'WJMAX' made by fans. The problem is that the game used the original DJMAX sound source without permission, and the Korea Music Copyright Association judged this as a copyright infringement and threatened legal action. The game was known to have been made by fans of Wwakgud, but since it was distributed through the 'Waktaverse Games' platform operated by Wwakgud, the responsibility for him has been raised.

 

2. The ripple effect that spread throughout the fan game and the collapse of the Waktaverse

 

The controversy did not stop at WackyMax. It was discovered that numerous fan games had used music, IP, and images without permission, and Neowiz immediately strengthened its DJMAX-related guidelines. As a result, some of the 'Wackyverse' platforms were shut down or closed, and YouTube videos were deleted, leaving only 161 out of 1,500.

 

 

3. Wooakgud's apology, but why is the response so cold?

 

On July 6, Wooakgud announced his YouTube activity hiatus and issued an apology through the YouTube community. However, people pointed out the following problems:

 

- The apology came too late (about 3 weeks of silence after the incident) - The apology is vague and not specific. - At first, it was only uploaded to the fan cafe, but later it was shared on YouTube.

 

Fans poured out criticism saying, “Isn’t this just an apology for an alibi?” and the controversy over its sincerity grew even bigger.

 

 

4. Lee Sedol (another world idol) fandom also collapsed

 

The reason this controversy didn't end as a simple personal rant is because of 'Lee Sedol'. The Isekai Idol was a project planned by Woowakgud, and grew through the voluntary secondary creation of fans.

However, the game made under the name of this project became the center of a copyright infringement incident, and the members and fandom suffered damage to their image. Some fans said, “It’s made by fans, so Woowakgud is not responsible,” but the majority turned their backs, saying, “As a brand representative, we have management responsibility.”

 

5. The collapse of the waxworks… The true face of a community that does not allow criticism

 

After the controversy, there was an attempt at midnight in the Wawakgud fan cafe 'Wakmulwon'. However, as fans who expressed critical opinions were kicked out or ridiculed, conflicts within the community deepened. Eventually, the perception of "unilateral operation that does not even allow criticism" emerged, and Wakmulwon faced a collapse in trust.

 

 

6. Trust falls as past events are recalled

Due to this incident, Woowakgud's past abusive language has been brought to light. "That's a game that only kids play", "Only loners watch it", etc.. The image he had built up over time was cracked, and fans' disappointment exploded. His words and actions, which were usually called a "reaction master", actually worked as an antipathy factor.
