Sechskies, Ko Ji Yong
Now that the Sechskies special on 'Infinity Challenge' is done, all the members are coming to spotlight - even the one that doesn't want to be.


Member Ko Ji Yong had stepped away from the entertainment industry as soon as Sechskies disbanded, and has been working as a regular company employee. In fact, Yoo Jae Suk had to specially ask him to appear on broadcast, and he had considered it for a while before accepting.

However, now that he did come on the show, he's gaining the attention he didn't want. MBC's 'Section TV' reported on the former star, stating, "He comes often to Gwanghwamoon. His company is there. He comes to restaurants to eat. He's like a well-dressed employee.


When the broadcast aired, many found it distasteful and rude as Ko Ji Yong had left the industry because he didn't want the attention. Viewers commented, "Are you in your right mind? You're being disruptive and stalking a person who doesn't want to be a celebrity," "He must be uncomfortable... this is why he didn't want to come out on broadcast... I hope no one goes to seek him out," and "Don't go looking for him and making his private life into news. He's just a plain company employee now."


What do you think about the situation?
