YouTube mistakenly identifies Park Bo-young as underage, restricts vlog comments

YouTube recently restricted comments on Park Bo-young’s official vlog after it was mistakenly recognized as a children’s video due to her young-looking features.

According to a report on Koreaboo, the 31-year-old South Korean actress was talking about nursing a cold and expressing her appreciation after receiving a letter from a male fan.

On her vlog, the “Strong Girl Bong-soon” and “Oh My Ghost” star explained why the comments section was suddenly disabled.

“YouTube recognized my video as a children’s video and disabled the comment section. I apologize for the inconvenience,” Bo-young said.

YouTube restricts comments for channels owned by children as a safety measure and to protect their personal information.

The reports said fans understood why YouTube would make such a mistake, agreeing that the actress looked younger than her age. – Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/RC, GMA News
