A YouTuber who was widely criticized online for his sexually improper commentary about IU has found himself in a familiar spot.

Twenty-six year old YouTuber Ji Yong-hwan, who goes under the name “BJ Poowar” in Korea, was sued by IU’s representatives at FAVE Entertainment for saying he would choose IU over his dog because IU could give him sex while the dog could not.

In order to prevent further maligning messages toward IU, FAVE Entertainment has pushed for full legal action against Ji.

But it appears the message was not clear enough for Ji.

In a recent broadcast, Ji again stoked controversy and claims of sexual harassment by licking a bottle of liquor with a promotional photo of IU stuck on it.

Ji said during the broadcast that he had requested a bottle with Suzy but was given IU again, before licking IU’s photo.

The video instantly evoked anger from IU’s fans. Ji has since deleted the video from YouTube.
