On November 12, 2020, the former Roo’Ra member and convicted sex offender Go Young Wook created an Instagram account @koyoungwookgo and shared his first-ever social media post since his release from prison in 2015.
In the post, Go Young Wook claimed that he cannot continue to live so disconnected from everything and so that he would like to try communicating with the world again.
Immediately after the account was created, Go Young Wook received heavy criticism for testing the water to see if he would be able to return to the entertainment industry.
Netizens began reporting the account which eventually became disabled, as per Instagram’s policy.
The social media platform currently disables accounts that belong to convicted sex offenders.
“Convicted sex offenders aren’t allowed to use Instagram. If you’ve seen an account that may belong to a convicted sex offender, please report it to us. Once we’re able to verify someone’s status as a sex offender, we’ll immediately disable their account.”
