780,000-subscriber mukbang YouTuber apologizes after ordering in-flight meals 20 times: "I was too greedy"

[Financial News] Mukbang YouTuber Yuno, who posted a video of himself repeatedly ordering and eating in-flight meals in first class, deleted the content and apologized after facing criticism. Yuno has 780,000 subscribers.
On the 15th, Yuno posted an apology on his YouTube community page and bowed his head over the controversial video.
In the apology, he said, "I am deeply sorry that today's in-flight meal video caused discomfort to so many people," and added, "I think the thumbnail and the content also made it seem more provocative, which caused further discomfort."
Yuno also said he had put content planning first and lacked judgment. He stated, "I was too focused on making something new," and explained, "I asked the flight attendants for permission while boarding, and I simply assumed it would be fine if they said it was okay."
The video in question was a mukbang clip showing Yuno's first-class flight experience. In the video, he ordered and ate in-flight meals and snacks 20 times in total, including seven bowls of ramen, salad, bread before the meal, fruit, sandwiches, cheese and tiramisu.
At the end of the video, he said, "I would like to thank the flight attendants who worked so hard to prepare the food once again." However, criticism followed that repeatedly requesting too many in-flight meals could inconvenience the crew and other passengers.
Yuno also acknowledged that his actions could have burdened the flight attendants and passengers. He apologized, saying, "I did not fully consider that asking for so many in-flight meals could put pressure on the flight attendants and inconvenience other passengers sharing the same space. It was a poor judgment on my part."
He also apologized separately to the flight attendant in charge. Yuno said, "You must have had a hard time with my repeated unreasonable requests, but I was grateful that you treated me kindly and with a smile until I got off the plane," adding, "I am even more sorry that I relied too much on that kindness and behaved that way."
As the controversy continued, Yuno issued another apology and restated his position. He said, "Looking at it again, I think I went too far," and admitted, "Because it was my first time sitting in such a nice seat, I got excited and justified my behavior by telling myself, 'One more time should be fine.'"
He also offered an explanation regarding the filming time. Yuno said, "Some parts are being conveyed as if I kept requesting food throughout the entire flight, so I want to clarify the facts," and explained, "Filming took place three times in total, including during meal service and after waking up, over about 2 hours and 10 minutes during a roughly 15-hour flight."
