Former group Lula member Ko Young-wook once again targeted broadcaster Lee Sang-min's grand prize win.
Ko Young-wook recently shared multiple articles on his social media related to Lee Sang-min's '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' grand prize win and expressed critical reactions. He posted an article containing the phrases "a grand prize selection that many cannot accept" and "would people really get this angry for no reason," subtly expressing dissatisfaction with the award results.
In another post, he quoted a comment saying, "A married man who is a regular on a single-concept variety show receives the grand prize? Isn't this true black comedy?" directly challenging Lee Sang-min's win. He added the phrase "the repeated Jee Seokjin neglect controversy," questioning the fairness of the awards.
Earlier, Lee Sang-min won the grand prize at the live-broadcast '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' held on Dec. 30 of last year. His activities on SBS variety shows such as My Little Old Boy and Dollsing Fourman were cited as reasons for the win, but because Jee Seokjin, who had been considered a strong candidate before the awards, failed to win again, viewers continued to debate fairness. On the day of the awards, the staging that placed a wig on Jee Seokjin was also criticized as excessive.
Ko Young-wook has previously publicly targeted Lee Sang-min. In April of last year, he aimed at Lee Sang-min's debt repayment with a post saying, "When someone unfunny and insincere claimed to have paid off nearly 7 billion won in debt, I wondered why I was living like this and felt somewhat powerless," and in September he claimed that he was the originator of "Crying Rap." He continued to grow the controversy by making exposé-like remarks about personal matters thereafter.
Meanwhile, Ko Young-wook was sentenced in 2013 to two years and six months in prison for sexual assault and forcible molestation of a minor. He has halted entertainment activities since his release, and from time to time he expresses opinions on entertainment industry issues through his personal social media.<
