On the 20th, a petition was registered in the National Assembly's petition for public consent titled 「A petition for strong sanctions at the National Assembly for the actions of YouTubers who have been convicted of sex crimes」.
The author "Strong sanctions are needed against those who have been convicted of sex crimes to broadcast to an unspecified number of subscribers on their channels as YouTubers. In addition, I think that with this opportunity, public debate on the basic qualifications of those who operate one-person media platform broadcasting such as YouTube, which replaces the existing mass media, should be made"I explained the reason for writing.
The author said, `The National Assembly strongly petitions YouTube and the basic qualifications of YouTubers engaged in it, especially to impose sanctions on channels operated by those who are seemingly unfit as public media workers, such as sex crimes, hit-and-runs, unlicensed driving, and assault.'

This led to strong public criticism, but Ko Young-wook said in a media outlet that "it is something that needs to be taken over." I'll do my best no matter what I do" he said.
Nevertheless, amid the cold gaze toward Ko Young-wook, Ko Young-wook became more controversial by describing himself as a 'social orphan' on his channel. Ko Young-wook, who posted a video of his dog on the 20th, is once again being criticized for calling himself a former criminal 'social orphan', saying 'deep Maltese playing with an owner who can be called a social orphan'. In response, Ko Young-wook has deleted the article.
However, a petition has been filed to impose sanctions on Ko Young-wook's YouTube. Attention is focusing on whether Ko Young-wook, who has already been shut down on Instagram, can keep his YouTube channel.
