Entertainer and former Roo'ra member, Go Young Wook, has been released from prison today after carrying out a jail sentence of 2.5 years.


He addressed the public by speaking to the press that had gathered. He stated, "I'm sorry." And after bowing his head, he continued, "The two and a half years have been a time of reflection. I'm apologetic to have caused such troubles as a public figure."

"The two and a half years were difficult. However, if it wasn't for that time, I think I would have lived on not having realized a lot of things. It's been a time where I've been able to look back and reflect. From now on I will live righteously with a new heart."


When asked if he had any plans on trying to return to the entertainment scene, he offered no comments.


Although he has been released from prison, he'll be required to wear an electronic anklet that will detect his whereabouts for the next 3 years and his record will be made public for 5 years.


As reported before, the celebrity was found guilty of touching and assaulting 3 minors, as young as 13 years of age, several times between July 2010 to December 2012. Although he was given a heavier prison sentence during the initial trials, he was able to receive a lighter sentence through his appeals.
