Go Young-wook, a broadcaster from the group Roo’ra, expressed displeasure at malicious comments criticizing him.
On the 26th, Go Young-wook said on social media, “When I look at comments or posts about me, there are always people who repeat the same unoriginal, completely unfunny line, as if they had all agreed on it: ‘Stop whining and go do Coupang loading and unloading.'”
He added, “It may be a bit annoying to say this, but they must either be lacking intelligence or have completely failed to understand the context of what I have said so far. I am not legally qualified to do that job, and fortunately I have no trouble making a living, so you do not need to worry about me.”
He continued, “Instead of wasting your precious time meddling in my business, please focus on taking care of your own lives.”.
Go Young-wook was indicted on charges of raping and forcibly molesting three minors on four occasions between July 2010 and December 2012, and the Supreme Court of Korea finalized a sentence of two years and six months in prison in 2013.
He completed his sentence in 2015 and was released, after whichhe attempted a comeback by launching a YouTube channel, but the effort collapsed amid public criticism and a platform ban.
He has also sparked controversy several times through social media since then.In January, he said, “I spent exactly 13 years, 8 months and 21 days unemployed and doing nothing. Is there no way to earn money for food for our beloved dogs?”
More recently, he drew backlash after posting, “It seems hard to find a job in Korea, so I think I saw somewhere that there is a shortage of male AV actors in Japan, and if it is legally possible…”
Not only that,he also faced criticism after posting a screenshot that appeared to target Yoo Jae-suk with the remark, “How much richer does he need to get before he is satisfied? His greed has no end,” and another post seemingly criticizing Shin Dong-yup: “He must have incredible stamina to drink and work on broadcasts at the same time. Come to think of it, when I watch TV Animal Farm, his eyes always look glazed over.”
