**Satire or hate?… Controversy over the ‘Middle-Aged Male Sparrow’ YouTube video / YonhapnewsTV**

Recently, broadcasters often open YouTube channels to share their unique content, offering more freedom than traditional broadcasting. Some cross boundaries in this space. Recently, a viral video by **Kang Yoo-mi** sparked debate. She once portrayed a middle-aged female boss who flirts with male colleagues while subtly undermining female ones—eyes closed, she casually delays tasks for men. *"Just look at her—why don’t you see it?"* The title, *Middle-Aged Male Sparrow*, mocks middle-aged women, especially when she overprotects her son and displays sexist biases. The video exploded in views and comments, with scenes of her overprotectiveness and sexist attitudes drawing criticism.
