IU and Yuri → New Jeans Boycott...Post-storm of support for impeachment rally, controversy over pre-payment company eating and running

Dec 16, 2024

Controversy continues over the goodwill of entertainment stars who cheered for the impeachment rally of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law on the 3rd shocked the nation. Fortunately, martial law was lifted in less than a day, but rallies continued to demand the resignation and impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

What stands out is the moves of stars that have changed from the past. Unlike in the past, when people refrained from expressing their position as much as possible, more people have voiced their opinions, such as taking to the streets with cheering sticks or adding strength as a pre-payment.



Director Park Chan-wook purchased all the bread made on the same day at a bakery near the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and distributed it to citizens who attended a nearby rally. Using the movie he made 'Decision to Break Up', director Park also put a sticker on the bread envelope that read 'Decision to Break Up with Yoon Suk Yeol'Is the people that easy?'

Many people cheered for the words and actions of courageous stars. On the other hand, the aftermath is also strong. When the impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol was passed at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 14th, some declared a boycott of the celebrities who cheered for the rally. Some netizens have moved not to buy products that are being advertised by stars who have helped the rally participants with food pre-emptions such as IU, Yuri, Newzins, etc.

In addition, controversy over pre-payment companies' "eat and run" was raised. Stars neglected their operation by prioritizing on-site payment or delivery orders at stores with limited pre-determined prices. Netizen A said "I went to a kimbap restaurant where the pre-payment was completed, but the pre-payment order continued to be delayed due to delivery orders in the middle. I waited 45 minutes, but only five people were waiting. The pre-paid cookie house takes orders from people behind it, saying, 'You can't be crowded with customers right now.' I don't want you to act like you're giving free meals to beggars when the pre-payment system is ordered by customers" left a message.

Netizens are saying, "It is a good situation to use it without checking whether it has been paid as much as the pre-determined limit amount.", "This is how we use good intentions", "Check the quantity and get the rest back.", "There must be a lot of restaurants to eat and run," he said angrily.
