Super Junior’s Siwon
Last year, Siwon was involved in several controversies, the first sparked by his show of support following controversial right-wing figure Charlie Kirk’s death. After this, he was criticized over his social media activity, which included allegedly racist and Islamophobic posts, along with other behaviors.

On February 19, he posted a photo on Instagram of a Chinese idiom, believed to be a show of support for the recently sentenced former President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol. Yoon was sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly leading a rebellion in connection with the martial law incident, and was the leader of a far-right political party.
In response, many, including fans of the group, shared negative thoughts about his behavior.

As a result, calls for his removal have hit another high, amongst both Korean and international fans this time. Previously, international fans were a majority of calls for him to leave the group through the #Siwon_Out movement.

최시원 씨 어차피 저한테 고소하신다고 멘션 다셨으니 제가 하고 싶은 말은 다 해야겠습니다 나이가 40이 넘으셨으면 정치 얘기는 민감한 주제이며 사람들끼리 만나도 잘 꺼내지 않는 주제인 걸 알지 않나요? 그걸 꼭 SNS에 티를 내야 하나요? 아이돌이라는 사람이?…

Mr. Choi Siwon, since you already mentioned that you plan to sue me, I’m going to say everything I want to say. If you’re over 40 years old, shouldn’t you know that politics is a sensitive topic — something people usually avoid even in private conversations? Did you really have to openly express it on social media? As an idol? Aren’t you a public figure in popular culture? Is forcing only your own political views onto others really the right attitude for someone in the entertainment industry? Please don’t create a negative image for Super Junior. I sincerely ask you — please withdraw from the group.

only in my dreams would this be the new suju line up #siwon_out ✌🏻 pic.twitter.com/YmypjohKJR
