[이데일리 정시내 기자] Lee Na-eun of the group April clarified that it was “combined” to the article that mentions Ko Young-wook, a former sex offender.
Recently, a post called’Remarks in the Past’ was posted amid bullying suspicions of former member Lee Hyun-joo, mainly on the online community.
This was written in 2003, and a person named Lee Na-eun left a comment to an acquaintance he was talking with, “Do you want to be raped by Ko Young-wook?”

When the article became controversial, April’s agency DSP Media said, “The captured photo is a composite photo. The photographs that had spread long ago are spreading again.”
The reaction of netizens to this is mixed. “There are other comments below, are they all synthetic?”, “I hope they are synthetic”, “What is the basis for synthesis? “Where is the original?”, “I want to hear the opinions of experts”, “If you spread it in a compound, punish it legally”, etc.
Meanwhile, Ko Young-wook, a former member of the group Lula, was charged with sexual assault or forcibly harassing three minors five times in Seoul’s own officetels and cars from July 2010 to December 2012.
In December 2013, the Supreme Court confirmed the sentence of two years and six months in prison. After release, they ordered three years to attach a location tracking electronic device (electronic anklet) and five years to disclose personal information. Afterwards, Ko Young-wook was released from Seoul Southern Prison in 2015 with an electronic anklet on.
