[Financial News] Go Young-wook, formerly of the group Roo'ra, said that a return to broadcasting is effectively impossible.
On the 25th, Go Young-wook wrote on his X account, formerly Twitter, "As far as what is known to the public, the fact that my return to broadcasting is impossible will not change unless something extraordinary happens."
He added, "I already enjoyed more public love and popularity than I deserved, far beyond my own abilities. I have personal regrets about many things, but I accept them and live with them."
He went on to say self-deprecatingly, "I'm just someone who goes grocery shopping and cleans up dog poop and pee at home, living as an ordinary middle-class person."
Go Young-wook also addressed recent controversy surrounding him. He had previously drawn criticism by posting a series of messages targeting fellow entertainers such as Yoo Ah-in, Lee Sang-min, Tak Jae-hoon, Lee Ji-hye, Jang Dong-min, and BIBI.
In response, he said, "I'm just posting my thoughts on social media," adding, "Stop making a scene and acting up on your own, and focus on your own daily lives."
Go Young-wook debuted in 1994 as a member of Roo'ra and rose to fame with hit songs such as "Angel Without Wings" and "3!4!".
However, he was indicted on charges of raping and indecently assaulting three minors a total of four times between July 2010 and December 2012, and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison in 2013.
After being released in July 2015, he attempted to resume activity through YouTube and Instagram, but his channels were repeatedly shut down amid platform policies restricting accounts operated by sex offenders and continued reports from users.
