"Should I Change My Name to Gonan-gil?"
Allegations Raised Against Sangmin Lee Regarding Academic Background and Military Exemption
Go Young-wook, who became the first celebrity to wear an electronic ankle bracelet due to charges of sexually assaulting and molesting minors, once again targeted broadcasters Tak Jae-hoon and Lee Sang-min. He urged them to show at least half the sincerity they showed in mourning the late Kim Soo-mi toward him, who is still alive.

Recently on X (formerly Twitter), Go Young-wook expressed dissatisfaction about his current situation after the sex crime, saying, "They say hardship is a blessing, but living as Go Young-wook in this society has become an overwhelming life. Maybe I should change my name to 'Hardship-gil' (Hardship Road)."
"If given the chance, I'm confident I could do better on broadcasts than Tak Jae-hoon"
He then shared a memorial post for Kim Soo-mi that Tak Jae-hoon wrote on Instagram, commenting, "You should have taken better care of her while she was alive. Memorializing the deceased is important, but..." He sarcastically added, "Even though you went to a night high school, your spacing and sentence structure are embarrassingly poor. It's amazing that you can write like this and not care at all. I wonder how you got into Kookmin University." He continued, "I’m confident I could make people laugh better than you with wordplay if I had the chance, but I think depth, character, and basics that suit one’s experience are more important than light wordplay that makes people laugh. At the very least, study proper spacing."
He also wrote, "Back when you were unknown, you practically lived at my house and were eight years older than me, but even though we played foolishly all day, you never gave me a hard time. Whenever my mom prepared meals, you would cheekily say that my mom’s food was really delicious." He added, "Those were insignificant unknown days, but my mom treated you really well..." and posted photos from the time they worked together.
"Lee Sang-min even lent his name and was suspected"
He also put Lee Sang-min, who was active with him in the group Roolla, under scrutiny. He claimed, "When I was cornered after divorcing and being sued by my wife, he posted a supportive message on my behalf. He even asked to borrow my name because he was credit-impaired, so we went to the bank together. Not knowing the risks, I helped him with everything. Large sums of money came into my account and then went out, causing people involved to suspect me. There was also a case where he took out a loan under my name, couldn’t extend it, and had to urgently repay it to resolve the issue." He further alleged that Lee Sang-min was born in 1973, not 1974, and questioned his top acceptance into Seoul Institute of the Arts’ Film Department and military exemption as "full of doubts."
He then pointed out again, "If you are human, wouldn’t it be the minimum courtesy to at least think about how the people you once used or helped, who are still alive, are living with their mothers, with at least half the sincerity you show toward the deceased?" He concluded by saying, "I have no intention of making vulgar revelations against these people, but if I don’t speak out like this, I feel like I’ll burst inside."
