Former idol star Go Young Wook spent more than 10 hours in detention at the Yongsan Police Station on Tuesday being investigated on charges of sexual assault against a minor.

An official complaint about Go Young Wook raping an aspiring entertainer surfaced about a week ago, and while he was at the police station, a local media outlet received a tip that more than one child victim might be involved in the case.

“While we were in the middle of investigating whether Go raped a minor, another victim came forward with the same complaint,” a police representative said. “Thus, we started investigating this, too.”

When journalists quizzed Go about the allegations as he made his way out of the station, the entertainer merely stammered, “It’s personal!”

Media also asked Go if he was guilty of the charges. He deflected questions by simply saying, “I’ll continue to cooperate with the police.”

Go Young Wook rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the idol group Roo’Ra.
