Remember 캼쟈 (Kyamjya)/piyo/ppotatto? Well, since she has several aliases online, I'll call her Kyamjya in this journal.
Kyamjya is a 24-year-old artist who is known for drawing Cyphers fanart and the artist of the webtoon 그곳에 천사가 있었다 (Geugos-e Cheonsaga isseossda; lit. There was an Angel) which was serialized on the Korean niche webtoon hosting website KTOON (formerly known as Olleh Market Webtoon prior to August 2016) in early March 2016. She also has an amazing artstyle despite her flaws, which currently can be only viewed on her Tumblr account (which has been hacked by a third-party) and her Piapro account. Here's some examples of her art before we talk about her dark past.
In May 2016, an throwaway account exposed Kyamjya's past behavior on Twitter and they claimed that they were a student of the school she was attending. However, this account has posted videos (people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) please don't watch) and they told us not to reupload their videos anywhere so I will not show you guys their videos.
Anyways, while in high school at the time in 2013, Kyamjya, at the age of 16, along with the three other students, had bullied the students, who were about her age, by forcing them to call them upperclassman, wear black slippers, colorful clothing and Adidas-branded jerseys. If their victims disobeyed them, she'll often bully and force them to do a position, in which one of the female victims had to be hospitalized for an surgery that costed 3 million won (approximately 2,000 dollars and euro as of 2023). When the bully was suspended from the school, her parents also bullied her victims and called them names.
3 years later, now at the age of 19, Kyamjya wrote an apology message on Notepad and posted it on Twitter as well as posting an apology 9 days later on her Naver blog whom she have abandoned since 2016.
However, the victim told us not to share personal information of the former high school students including Kyamjya herself, at the time so we'll not be sharing personal information of them to protect their privacy.
As the controversy was being widely talked about by netizens, they decided to boycott the webtoon Kyamjya worked on by sending its host multiple emails and customer support tickets, in which the writer (who was one of the two people working on the webtoon besides her) posted the end of the webtoon on its last page and she posted an apology about the end of her webtoon.
Not only that when she was underage, she also drew R-18 content, doujinshi, did a R-18 commission as well as underage drinking and doing low-quality commissions. It was also revealed that she also ran an Twitter account named Ellie's Diary whom she abandoned in January 2016 and is still up even as of today. 3 months after her controversy, there was an impostor that a doujinshi circle called out
3 years later, another throwaway Twitter account posted an document about Kyamjya, who used the aliases of PUNCHI and Masb (맛브) before and now going under the aliases of Gyoyangin (교양인) (who she later deleted after this expose was made) and another person named Vesa from their lawyer's advice as well as posting 5 of of the former's drawings. Lately, they have been responsible for cyberbullying others and according to the person who wrote this document, they have contacted the person who literally sold their account while Kyamjya (under the Masb aliases) was playing Mabinogi at the time and turns out, they revealed her real name.
Remember one time when Kyamjya/Masb deleted her other account just after there was a question on Peing (a Japanese question box website) that said "트친 중에 캄쟈가 있다면 어떻게 할 것이냐 (lit. What would you do if there were Kyamjya among us?)"? I'm sure that the throwaway account knew it.
In their conclusion, Kyamjya supported cyberbullying by leaking private KakaoTalk texts with others to Vesa.
Anyways, prior to the cyberbullying expose, there was an traditional artist going by the name of Songjin Art, who did the same exact things as Kyamjya.
Unlike Kyamjya who mainly focuses on digital art, Songjin Art was an artist who focused on traditional art and got in trouble back in 2019 for being an radical feminist by offending men from her country of origin by referring to them with misandrist words. What's even worse is that she used a word made by users from a website created by toxic feminazis and plagiarized other artists like Meyoco and Rocoa as well as stock images without their permission.
In addition to the plagiarism, Songjin faked signing an contract with Disney and cyberbullied a foreigner who was a fan of Meyoco's art, only to delete her YouTube videos and disable her YouTube and Instagram comments as well as taking down her Instagram and Twitter accounts. However, from what I've seen, Songjin's YouTube channel, ArtStation, Reddit and Patreon accounts are still up even to this day.
UPDATE:
A Mabinogi fan posted on Twitter that they got sued by Kyamjya, who was now in her mid-twenties, and her friend Vesa, sending screenshots of the document, giving the proof that they were sued two times in 2021 and 2022 and sent a link to their Notion site, detailing most of the information about the lawsuit, and not only that, the person behind the throwaway account that was created in September 2021 was also sued as well, posting legal documents on their side, revealing that PUNCHI was Kyamjya's username in Mabinogi and describing the game itself, and explained about her past life and cited her school violence case on NamuWiki, which was even made worse by the fact that Kyamjya's reputation was already known on the entire Korean internet, even on Korean search engines and had lied in her complaint, and to end things up, the throwaway account asked that if she has anything to say about this situation, she can contact them directly or through their lawyer. Anyways, Vesa seems to know what Kyamjya's up to, and usually answers on her behalf, posting her KakaoTalk screenshots.
Additionally, a Korean Mastodon instance named parfait.day, popular with Mabinogi players and fans alike, and one player warned that those, including Vesa and Kyamjya, and those who support their cyberbullying actions will be banned, as one of Kyamjya's friends have been banned from there as well.
To conclude into my analysis, Kyamjya is still alive, and in conclusion, after writing the document, the throwaway account apologized to the Mabinogi community and certain Twitter users, and thanked Kyamjya's victims and the petitioners, hoping that drama and the cyberbullying culture will end in that community.
Not long after, Kyamjya created a Twitter account, this time as PUNCHI, calling out those who exposed her and sending KakaoTalk screenshots, along with a link to her document on Google Docs, only to get called out by the person behind the throwaway account for playing the victim card, and posted text describing her past.
