Choi Si-won of Super Junior to Take Legal Action After Political Controversy Following Yoon Seok-yeol’s Sentencing

Choi Si-won faces backlash for a post on social media interpreted as a political statement following the sentencing of former President Yoon Seok-yeol, prompting his agency to announce potential legal action.

Choi Si-won, a member of the K-pop group Super Junior, has stirred significant controversy after making a post on his social media account shortly after former President Yoon Seok-yeol received a life sentence for treason. In his post, Choi used Chinese characters which convey the messages 'injustice will lead to downfall' and 'earth will collapse and rooftops will fall,' raising speculation that he was commenting on Yoon's case. Supporters of Yoon expressed their recognition of Choi’s post, while critics reacted negatively, urging him to leave his group if he wishes to pursue these political sentiments.
