On May 26, online forums in South Korea were abuzz with rumors surrounding a popular actress allegedly involved in a school violence controversy. The initial clue, “Go XX,” quickly led netizens to speculate that the actress in question was Go Min-si, triggering heated debate across social media platforms.
In response, Go Min-si’s agency swiftly denied the allegations, releasing a firm statement that labeled the school violence rumors as completely baseless. The agency also warned of legal action against those spreading false information.
However, despite the quick rebuttal, the controversy reignited interest in a past incident involving the actress. As discussions gained momentum, a previous scandal resurfaced in which Go Min-si admitted to underage drinking at the age of 17 and publicly apologized.
Go Min-si apology:
Hello, this is Go Min-si.
First of all, I sincerely apologize for having to write this due to an unfortunate incident, and for causing concern with a photo related to underage drinking from my past.
Some of you who supported me may have hoped it wasn’t me, while others may have wished for me to quickly acknowledge the truth.
Without any denial, I confirm that the person in the photo is me.
Due to my own immaturity and the mistakes of my younger days, I was not mature at the time. I believe it’s only right that not everything from the past can simply be washed away. I also fully understand that this truth may cause wounds that cannot be healed for those who see it.
I acknowledge that my past actions were wrong and I take full responsibility for the person I was.
At times, words cannot fully express everything, and though my sincerity may not be fully conveyed, I offer my deepest apologies to those who were hurt because of me.
I will do my best to grow into a more mature and upright person.
The apology, once buried in the past, has now gone viral again as new allegations surface, sparking mixed reactions among the public.
Many online users expressed shock and disappointment:
- I had no idea at all.. Unbelievable
- It’s amazing this has stayed buried until now.
- What a clean-up job… wow
- The vibe of the photo doesn’t feel like a one-time rebellion—it feels like her daily life.
- She was partying like that at 17?
- I was wondering why someone would expose school bullying now, but I guess it hits hardest at this moment. I really enjoyed Sweet Home and liked her from that drama, but this is the first time I’ve seen those drinking photos. I guess it just depends on how much attention someone gets.
As Go Min-si continues to face scrutiny, the resurfacing of her past has once again highlighted the intense pressure Korean celebrities face when navigating public opinion.
