Go Young-wook, formerly of the group Lulla, referenced the controversy surrounding singer Shim Soo-bong's criticism of Kim Da-hyun.

On the 22nd, Go Young-wook posted on his personal account: "I wonder what Senior Shim Soo-bong would have said if she had taken the stage right after Lulla at a recent event."

Along with this, Go Young-wook shared video footage of Lulla's performance at the closing ceremony of the 30th Muju Firefly Festival held on the 12th.

The released video featured Lulla members Lee Sang-min, Chae-rina, and Kim Ji-hyun performing hit songs including "APT." by Rosé and Bruno Mars, as well as "3! 4!", "Wings Lost Angel," "Prayer," and "Lovers."

Recently, Go Young-wook drew attention for posting remarks that appeared to criticize Lulla members and numerous other celebrities.

This time, opinions are being raised that Go Young-wook indirectly criticized the Lulla stage by leveraging the Shim Soo-bong controversy.

Meanwhile, on the 20th, public remarks made by Shim Soo-bong toward Kim Da-hyun at the "Jinan Highland Trot Festival" during the "2026 Jinan Ginseng Festival" held in the northern area of Misan Mountain, Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, sparked controversy.

That day, Shim Soo-bong referred to Kim Da-hyun, who had performed earlier on stage, as "the woman singing over there." Shim added, "She made my head spin. Is that manager here?" She continued, "It seems like a young lady who doesn't know what singing is or what life is. It was so painful just listening to her sing."

She further stated, "Please don't send another performer forward in front of me. I feel completely dizzy and about to collapse right now. Singing is not something you can treat so lightly." Shim also said, "You have to experience life's hardships and work hard; music that comforts those who come to see you is not easy. It was too painful, so I have no choice but to confess this to everyone. Please forgive me."

Following these remarks, criticism continued online across platforms. As the controversy grew, Shim Soo-bong directly contacted Kim Da-hyun's side to apologize. Through an official statement, Shim said, "I did not know exactly who the singer performing before me was, and I absolutely did not intend to shame a specific person." She added, "Nevertheless, as an elder, it was clearly wrong for me to say something that hurt a junior singer's feelings," and apologized.
