South Korean Navy Seal and YouTuber Claims He Did Not Bring a Cameraman to Ukraine

The claims against Ken Rhee makes me wonder if this is a Russian disinformation campaign targeting him? With that said he is a YouTuber so of course he is going to have people filming him:

Rhee Ken, a Korean YouTuber and former Korean Navy special warfare officer who went to Ukraine in March to fight Russia, denied allegations that a cameraman follows him around while he is on the battlefield and said that his team will take legal action against the person who is spreading this false information.  

A staff member working behind the scenes of Rhee’s YouTube channel “Rokseal” on Monday denied the claims about Rhee being accompanied by a cameraman in Ukraine by posting a photo of Rhee on the battlefield and writing, “This person claims that the man who departed with Lee [to Ukraine] is a cameraman, but he is actually a former sergeant major of the Marine Corps. He was given a clear mission which was to obtain evidence of war crimes requested by the International Criminal Court (ICC). But the situation became too dangerous, and with Rhee’s call, the former sergeant major did not partake in the mission.”  

Rhee’s YouTube channel staff member also added that Rhee has been fighting in Ukraine since the beginning of the war and that Rhee is “on duty as the commander of the International Corps’ most important team.”  

He gave additional reasons for Rhee’s participation in the war such as “granting special warfare technology and know-how in advanced countries, granting operational strategies as field commanders, and securing evidence for war crimes to be submitted to the ICC.”
