Many reactions were highly skeptical of his words, questioning if he was being genuine or not, especially considering that Malaysia has a high Muslim population.
A charlie kirk supporter which is a terrible person overall, islamophobic, racist and openly supporting Zionist, but ofc he can redeem himself after one “I love Muslim” statement at a fricking airport https://t.co/fRjxo6zL0c pic.twitter.com/joiAtPYLdi

He openly supports Zionist. He said that as a PR move because he was in Malaysia, performing in a country with a lot of Muslims but that doesn’t change any fact that he is genocide enabler and Zionist supporter through and through! https://t.co/uuf4MOAohX

It seems Siwon will have to do more to convince netizens of his sincerity.
