K-pop idol and member of boy group Super Junior, Choi Siwon, is caught up in a controversy after his tribute to US President Donald Trump's ally and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was murdered during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. After facing backlash for his tribute post, Choi Siwon has reacted to all the angst of netizens.
What did Choi Siwon say after facing anger from netizens?
In response to all the anger and criticism he has reportedly received for his Instagram stories, Siwon shared his point of view on Bubble. As per the report, he said, "I'd like to explain, since there has been so much talk about my post related to mourning Charlie Kirk. He was a Christian, the head of a household, and a husband. Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that he lost his life in a shooting while giving a lecture in front of countless college students is a heartbreaking tragedy beyond any political stance. That is why I mourned him".
He further said, "After posting, I was grateful for the media’s attention, but since it seemed that my intentions were being interpreted differently by the press and others, I believed my sincere heart had already been conveyed and thus decided to take the post down. However, since there is still much interest even now, I wanted to offer this explanation".
