He then caused controversy about his daily life by using the expression 「"I laugh thanks to my dog in the days when I don't have to laugh" Maltese with his owner who is safe to be a social orphan". In response to this expression, the public is saying, "A sex offender is begging for sympathy." he strongly criticized. Later, Ko Young-wook deleted the phrase.
Ko Young-wook recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) "I've lived a shameful life."`````````````````````. However, as soon as the news of his YouTube channel was announced, criticism poured out.
