This simple response immediately drew a huge wave of praise and appreciation for the former BTOB member. Though many acknowledged that it was the “bare minimum,” it also led people to call out other K-Pop idols on their silence regarding the Palestinian genocide.

This is the bare minimum for a human. Thank you, Ilhoon, for choosing awareness over ignorance. I always knew you were such a kindhearted person. 🤍 @ilhoonmikal pic.twitter.com/ZKjsJqJyRT

ilhoon’s acknowledgment is bare minimum, that’s a fact.
but choosing to be educated about it instead of ignoring is still a great win bc we are surrounded by artists who blatantly refuse to listen 🙏🏻
