Ex-singer Ko Young-wook, convicted of molesting minor, mentions Japanese AV actor role

Ko Young-wook, a former singer previously convicted for molesting a minor, has resurfaced on social media with statements that have caused significant shock and controversy. The remarks, posted on January 12th, reveal his intentions and perceived limitations following his legal troubles.

In his social media post, Ko expressed a desire to "make people laugh and just live happily." However, he stated that finding employment in South Korea appears difficult. This led him to consider a career path in Japan's adult video industry.

"I think it will be difficult to find a job in Korea. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that there's a shortage of Japanese male AV actors. If it's legally possible," Ko wrote, indicating his contemplation of becoming a Japanese AV actor.

These statements have ignited public outrage and disbelief, given his past criminal conviction. The mention of pursuing a career in the adult film industry, particularly in Japan, has been widely condemned as inappropriate and further exacerbates the negative public perception surrounding him.
