The YouTube post of Ko Young-wook (48), a former member of the group ‘Rula’ who was sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a minor, has come under fire again.

Go Young-wook’s YouTube channel ‘Go! Young-wook GoDog Days’ surpassed 300,000 views in just 15 days.

As of the 21st, the video that was first uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Go! Youngwook GoDog Days’ has surpassed 300,000 views.

Ko Young-wook uploaded his first video to this YouTube channel on the 5th. It contains background music, a photo of Ko Young-wook, and a picture of his dog lying down. The comment section is closed. The first video surpassed 2,000 views in just 11 hours after it was uploaded.

Since opening this YouTube channel, Go Young-wook has uploaded a total of 7 short videos.

In the process, Ko Young-wook also described himself as a ‘social orphan’. After uploading a video of his pet dog’s daily life, he wrote, “A Maltese dog with a deep heart who plays with its owner, who could be called a social orphan.” This was a statement that could be interpreted as a social orphan. As if he was aware of this, he has now deleted this post.

On the 11th, Go Young-wook uploaded a video titled “I Don’t Need Friends” and showed his pet dog. In the video introduction, he expressed his love for his pet dog by writing, “Yuki-chan, a Maltese with a deep heart who plays with her friendless owner.”

On the 13th, a video titled “Youngwook, it’s okay! Think about the old days. Yuki-chan’s comfort” was released. In the video, Youngwook Ko showed his pet dog and wrote, “When no one was around, the dogs were by my side.”

On the 18th, Go Young-wook uploaded a video titled, “Kojiman’s weird dog food eating method? ASMR.” This time, he uploaded a video of his dog’s daily life and wrote, “The more I get to know people, the more I like my dog.”

In addition, Go Young-wook summoned singer Bobby Kim in the introduction to the video released on the 16th. Go Young-wook stated, “For your information, the photo of Bobby Kim is a photo that I took at a regular restaurant near my neighborhood when we were both doing Bros. I uploaded it to Cyworld at the time, but I happened to find it while organizing my photos and put it on the thumbnail. The last time I saw him was in the waiting room when we were recording ‘I Am a Singer’ in 2011, and we haven’t met recently, so I hope there are no misunderstandings.” He also expressed his affection for his dog, writing, “Thanks to you, I always smile in my everyday life, which isn’t often filled with things to smile about. Choa.”

On the 20th, he also uploaded a video of his pet dog. Ko Young-wook said, “I realized late that I uploaded another photo of the same thing. I am very clumsy, so I hope you understand,” and expressed his gratitude to his subscribers.

Meanwhile, on the 5th, when he uploaded his first video on his YouTube channel, “Go! Youngwook GoDog Days,” Ko wrote on his social media, “I’ve lived a shameful life.” He said, “I feel like I’m just sitting at home muttering and growing old in a pitiful way, so I’m starting a YouTube channel without any particular order to escape my listless daily life.” Afterwards, some netizens expressed negative views on Ko’s YouTube channel.

Regarding this, Ko Young-wook stated in an interview with Star News on the 6th, “I didn’t make it with a grand plan. I think plans don’t mean anything to me.” Regarding the criticism that has come out since the opening of the YouTube channel, he said, “It’s something I have to accept,” and “I’ll work hard no matter what I do.”

Ko Young-wook, the ‘first celebrity to be fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet’, was arrested and indicted in January 2013 on charges of sexually assaulting and forcibly molesting three minors on four occasions between July 2010 and December 2012. After being sentenced to two years and six months in prison by the court, he served his sentence in Anyang Prison and Seoul Nambu Prison.

Go Young-wook, who debuted in 1994 with Rula’s first album ‘Roots of Reggae’, enjoyed the glory of Rula in the mid-1990s with hit songs such as ‘100th Day Meeting’, ‘No Secrets’, ‘Angel Who Lost Wings’, and ‘3! 4!’ After Rula’s disbandment in 1997, he tried to make a comeback by reuniting with Rula and forming dance duos such as ‘Player’ and ‘Shinnago’, but failed.
