Netizens look back on the numerous times that YouTuber Tzuyang appeared on broadcast with bruised or bandaged arms from her abusive ex-boyfriend

The story of mukbang YouTuber Tzuyang, who confessed that she suffered abuse, violence, extortion from her ex-boyfriend 'A' for 4-years, has caused an uproar on various online communities in South Korea. 

In the early hours of July 11 KST, Tzuyang held a live broadcast accompanied by her legal representatives to confess that she had suffered as a victim of abuse, violence, and extortion for 4-years. She said, "I was hit every day while doing broadcasts. Sometimes I even went on broadcast with a bruised face."

What further caused uproar among netizens was the fact that when Tzuyang proceeded to press charges against 'A', the ex-boyfriend took his own life, concluding the case without any person indicted. 

In light of the recent news, the topic of Tzuyang's often "bruised" arms rose to the surface again. In the past, many of her viewers had pointed out her bruised arms during her broadcasts, asking if she were a "klutz" who injured herself often.

However, after learning the cause of Tzuyang's frequent injuries, Korean netizens fumed with anger. In particular, many pointed out that the bruises on the YouTuber's arms were defense wounds, often found on the hands and forearms if a victim of violence raised them to protect the head and face.

Some commented, 

"This truly breaks my heart."

"I really thought all this time that she got those bruises from cooking... I can't imagine how much she suffered TT."

"I can't believe I noticed those bruises before but never suspected a thing TTTT."

"I feel so stupid for never suspecting anything... I thought she got those bruises from working out.."

"I watched those videos TT. I was only focussed on the food TT."

"I'm so angry..."

"How can anyone do that to such a small girl... This is infuriating."

"How did she endure it all this time..."

"Can someone please take that a**hole out of his coffin and rip him up."

"I'm learning about defense wounds for the first time because of this... As another woman, I'm going to be more aware of my surroundings from now on."

"The fact that no one suspected such horrific things were happening to this famous YouTuber... TT."
