Go Young-wook, a former member of the group Roo'ra and the first "electronic anklet celebrity," voiced dissatisfaction while mentioning broadcaster MC Ding Dong and actor Lee Jae-ryong. Recently, MC Ding Dong has faced allegations of assaulting a female BJ, and actor Lee Jae-ryong has been accused of drunken driving.
On the 13th, Go Young-wook Gong Yoo an article about MC Ding Dong's assault on his social media (SNS), writing, "Even this low-class X brazenly engages in social activities. What are this society's standards?"
He then pointed out that actor Lee Jae-ryong, who had been criticized in the past for drunken driving, appeared on the alcohol-themed YouTube variety show "Zzanbro," saying, "So lenient like this, but only with me."
Earlier, MC Ding Dong sparked controversy after footage spread online of him grabbing a female BJ by the hair and assaulting her during a live broadcast. On the night of the 6th, Lee Jae-ryong allegedly drove after drinking and crashed into a median strip near Samseong Jungang Station on Seoul Subway Line 9; he is under investigation on charges of drunken driving and failing to take measures after an accident under the Road Traffic Act.
Go Young-wook's remarks appear to express his frustration by comparing his own situation—still unable to resume activities—with MC Ding Dong and Lee Jae-ryong. In 2013, Go was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for raping a minor and served his term before being released. The YouTube channel he later launched was also shut down.
Previously, from July 2010 to December 2012, Go Young-wook was indicted and detained on charges of raping and forcibly molesting three minors on five occasions in total, in violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sex Offenses. In 2013, the Supreme Court finalized a sentence of two years and six months in prison for Go and, after his release, ordered three years of electronic monitoring (electronic anklet) and five years of sex offender information disclosure.
Go Young-wook, who was released upon completion of his term in 2015, wore an electronic anklet until 2018.
