Introduction

In a shocking turn of events, former Roo’Ra member and convicted sex offender Go Young Wook has sparked outrage among netizens by asserting that he played a role in influencing BIGBANG’s G-Dragon’s iconic fashion choices, particularly his fondness for headscarves.

G-Dragon's Fashion Icon Status

G-Dragon, known for being one of K-pop's most fashion-forward figures, has long been celebrated for his unique and trend-setting style. His penchant for headscarves, in particular, has become one of his signature looks. However, Go Young Wook recently took to social media to claim, "I was ahead of my time," suggesting that G-Dragon might have been inspired by him when he wore headscarves as a child.

Go Young Wook's Claims

In a post dated November 6, Go shared a photo of himself sporting a headscarf alongside a recent image of G-Dragon wearing one while traveling through Incheon International Airport. He further provocatively asked, “Are headscarves trending again these days? I used to wear a lot of headscarves. Did I inspire Jiyong (G-Dragon) when he was 7 years old during my Roo’Ra days? I was quite ahead of my times.”

Public Backlash and Controversy

This claim has not been well received, with many fans and netizens expressing their discontent over Go attempting to link his style to that of G-Dragon. This is not the first time Go has referenced the K-pop star in his posts; just weeks earlier, he nostalgically shared memories and a photo of them during his time with Little Roo’Ra, where he seemingly alluded to having a close association with the idol.

Legacy and Controversy in K-Pop

This incident has reignited discussions about Go Young Wook's previous controversies, especially considering his criminal past. As the debate continues, the question remains: Can an artist's legacy be overshadowed by their actions? Fans of G-Dragon and the K-pop community at large are undoubtedly eager to distance themselves from Go's statements, emphasizing the stark contrast between the celebrated star and the disgraced former idol.
