This update was shared on a popular forum, where netizens were extremely critical of Siwon’s actions.
- “Is that really hate? The more time passes, the more I genuinely think he’s not a very good person. I used to really like Super Junior, and now I just regret all the time I spent as a fan.”
- “What’s the point of suing over that? His image is already ruined even among overseas K-pop fans. Just a few days ago (Mark Lee) got into controversy over racial discrimination, and international fans were calling him ‘the second Choi Siwon’”
- “When he does it, it’s ‘freedom of expression,’ but the moment it’s directed at him, he immediately sues. LOL.”
