Ko Ji-yong, formerly of the group Sechs Kies, has launched a TikTok promotion campaign.
On the 16th, Ko Ji-yong posted a photo on his Instagram with an English message asking followers to visit his TikTok account.
The released photo included his TikTok profile picture. It is known that he has been conducting TikTok live broadcasts since last year.
Recently, TikTok live broadcasts have gained attention as a new communication channel for celebrities. It is reported that Ko Ji-yong, along with Sechs Kies member Jang Su-won, actors Im Joo-hwan, Park Si-hoo, and Park Ji-bin, are conducting TikTok live broadcasts. TikTok live broadcasts are known to operate on a structure where viewers can support virtual gifts in real time, which are then converted into cash.
Meanwhile, Ko Ji-yong has been surrounded by health concerns since 2023 due to his sudden weight loss. Last year, he appeared on KBS 2TV's variety show "Men Who Cook Season 2" and revealed, "I was hospitalized two years ago. My liver levels skyrocketed. Overall, my liver function had also declined somewhat. I was told not to drink alcohol at all, so I didn't drink for six months. I lost a lot of weight. That's when the signals started coming."
He continued, "I lost a lot of weight back then. My weight was 63kg. I have improved significantly since then."
Ko Ji-yong debuted as a member of the group Sechs Kies in 1997. He later left the entertainment industry to work as a businessman. He married family medicine specialist Heo Yang-im in 2013 and welcomed a son, Seung-jae, the following year. The family received widespread affection after appearing on KBS 2TV's variety show "The Return of Superman."
