Following singer Ko Young-wook, who was sentenced to imprisonment for forced harassment and sexual assault on minors, singers Choi Jong-hoon and Jung Joon-young, whose prison sentences were confirmed for collective rape of a drunk woman, were also expelled from Instagram.
On the 14th, Go Young-wook said, "(Suddenly my account) was blocked and I can't enter Instagram after that."
It was only two days after Go Young-wook publicly revealed, "After nine years of silence, I couldn't live like this, so I opened Instagram."
It is speculated that the closure of Go Young-wook's Instagram account was a measure taken by Instagram in accordance with its policy of ``preventing convicted sex offenders from using the platform.''
Earlier, from July 2010 to December 2012, Ko Young-wook was handed over to trial on charges of sexual assault or forcibly harassing three minors five times in his officetel and car in Seoul from July 2010 to December 2012. He was sentenced to 3 years and 5 years for information disclosure, and was released for maturity in 2015.
Following Ko Young-wook, singers Jung Joon-young and Choi Jong-hoon, who are currently serving in prison, have also been closed. When you log in to the Instagram accounts of two people, you may say'Sorry. A notice saying "The page is unavailable" appears. Considering that the two are currently serving in prison, it can be interpreted that Instagram has taken the same actions it did to both of them.
Previously, the Supreme Court sentenced Jung Joon-young and Choi Jong-hoon to 5 years in prison and 2 years and 6 months in prison, respectively, for sexual assault on a drunk woman and for shooting and distributing illegal filmings.
