Ko Young-wook, formerly of the mixed-gender group Rula, has revealed his true feelings in response to criticism directed at him.

On the 13th, Ko posted a photo alongside a message stating, "Even at over fifty years old, I am being unfairly subjected to group bullying, which leaves me utterly disgusted by the habits of truly despicable people." He added, "I thought I had become somewhat detached over more than ten years, but I heard that one should emulate this mindset."

In the released photo, a figure is shown saying, "So what if someone dislikes me?"

Recently, Ko Young-wook faced public backlash for making remarks targeting actors Lee Min-jung and Lee Byung-hun (a couple), actress Park Ha-sun, comedians Jang Do-yeon and Jang Dong-min, singers Lee Chan-won and Bibi, actress Lee Ji-hye, broadcasters Yoo Jae-suk, Shin Dong-yup, Lee Sang-min, Tak Jae-hoon, and former basketball player Seo Jang-hoon.

Meanwhile, Ko Young-wook was sentenced to two years and six months in prison in 2013 on charges of sexually assaulting a minor. At the time, he was also ordered to have his personal information publicly disclosed for five years and to wear an electronic ankle bracelet for three years—the first such order ever issued against a celebrity. After his release, he attempted to resume activities through Instagram and YouTube, but these efforts failed due to his criminal record involving sexual offenses.
