Former member of the group Rula, Go Young-wook, spoke out after being banned from TikTok as well.

On the 28th, Go Young-wook posted a message on his X (formerly Twitter) account stating, "I've become someone who can no longer be easily seen anywhere."

He added, "At this point, I'm thinking of changing my name to Go Jeung-neuk and spending my days cleaning up dog poop at home, riding a bicycle to the market, jogging in quiet places, and living leisurely. Although I've already been doing so."

Go Young-wook had opened a TikTok account on the 27th and shared videos of his daily life, but the platform deleted his account just one day later.

TikTok Korea explained the reason for deleting Go Young-wook's account: "In accordance with TikTok's Community Guidelines, if it is confirmed that an account owner has committed sexual crimes against minors, not only that account but also any other accounts held by the user will be permanently suspended. This action was also taken based on the Community Guidelines."

This marks the third time Go Young-wook's social media accounts have been shut down. Previously, he created accounts on Instagram and YouTube, but all were deleted. However, his X account remains active, through which he continues to post multiple messages.

Debuting with Rula in 1994, Go Young-wook was arrested and indicted in January 2013 for allegedly committing four instances of sexual assault and molestation against three minors between July 2010 and December 2012. In December of the same year, a two-year-and-six-month prison sentence was finalized by the Supreme Court. He was released from prison upon completing his term in July 2015 and had the electronic tracking device attached to his ankle removed in July 2018.
