The so-called `celebrity list' in the chaotic political situation has become controversial since the emergency martial law of President Yoon Suk Yeol. Celebrities who expressed their beliefs regarding the current situation are praised as `concept stars,' and celebrities who do not sympathize or bite their tongue are listed, raising concerns about missing democracy.
Lim Young-woong was caught up in the 'DM controversy' while sharing his daily life with his dog on his account on the 7th. Netizen A sent a message to Lim Young-woong's account, "'What are you doing in this situation?'" "I don't want to speak out, but I'm really insensitive" He sent a message, "What?", "I'm a politician. Why are you speaking out?" he said, revealing the screenshot.
In particular, the controversy intensified as the opinion that A is a producer of a famous entertainment program came out. Then, the mentioned PD explained that "I never sent a DM and I'm not following the singer's account", and as A deleted all the posts in question, the claim was raised that "Lim Young-woong became a victim of fake news".
In this regard, Lim Young-woong's agency Fish Music did not provide any answers.
Lim Young-woong is not the only one. Cha Eun-woo posted a photo on social media Stars who attended luxury brand events such as Han So-hee, Kim Yu-na and New Jeans Harin were also stoned.

Some even argue that Lee Byung-hun, who was the main actor of 'Mr. Sunshine', Jeong Hae-in, who is known as a descendant of Jeong Yak-yong, Song Kang-ho, who appeared in 'Taxi Driver', Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Sung-min, and Yoo Hae-jin, the Jungwoo Ha who was the main character of '1987 should open their mouths.
Some people agree with this. In particular, 77 organizations and 2,518 people, including film directors and movie actors, including Bong Joon-ho, Byun Young-joo, Yang Ik-jun, Jeong Ji-young, Jang Joon-hwan, Kang Dong-won, Kim Go-eun, Moon So-ri, Jeon Ji-hyun, and Son Ye-jin, issued a statement on the 7th saying, "'Excuse the Yoon Suk Yeol of the crime of rebellion, arrest him, and insist that other celebrities participate in the national candlelight vigil."
However, popular celebrities do not necessarily have to show their political colors, and those who do not comply with impeachment protests or remain silent are strongly opposed to the principles of democracy, leading to a heated debate.
