Former K-pop singer Go Young-wook has ignited controversy by launching a verbal attack on actress Park Ha-sun and her husband, actor Ryu Soo-young, via social media. Go Young-wook, who previously faced legal issues, targeted Park Ha-sun with a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

In his posts, Go Young-wook made insinuations about Park Ha-sun's past, suggesting she was unsuited for a "gosi-saeng" (a student preparing for a state exam) and implying she would continue to pursue luxury goods. He directly referenced her role in the sitcom "High Kick! The Short Legs Strike Back," where she played a character who was a gosi-saeng.
