You might think, "Why are you making such a fuss when you visit Germany once?" but for celebrities, this is not an easy choice. These days, when the Korean Wave has become commonplace, profits collected from overseas account for a considerable portion of stars' income. However, just doing something related to Dokdo can be turned away by Japanese fans.
So it is not unreasonable to praise celebrities who confidently chose to visit Dokdo. Lee Si-young, who recently visited Dokdo, is also suffering from malicious comments from Japanese netizens. But he wouldn't have left a proof shot on his personal account without expecting such malicious comments. On the 26th of last month, he released a photo of himself holding the Korean flag at the Dokdo dock with an article titled 「Dokdo Island」 on his account.

Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, responded mockingly to Lee Si-young by saying, `Unfortunately, Dokdo belongs to Japan' and `Welcome to Takeshima. Last month, some Japanese fans criticized K-pop girl group NMIX for singing 'Dokdo is our land' on a YouTube broadcast. In July, BTS leader RM in the past posted a video of him singing `Dokdo is our land' on social media, causing a great controversy among Japanese right-wingers. `Some Japanese netizens have found Korean celebrities with a little connection to Dokdo and are committing a shallow act of claiming that the island is Japanese land.'", he pointed out.
In addition, Professor Seo said, `It is their own characteristic to terrorize comments that have no logic about Dokdo and just make unreasonable claims.' `I will also visit Dokdo this weekend and produce a video titled the Dokdo Tourism Guidelines\ to help promote tourism on Dokdo.'
It is not an exaggeration to say that despite the already predicted number of malicious comments, stars who made this choice and Korean netizens have obtained the right to prevent being kicked out.
