'Lim Young-woong, indifferent to the martial law situation due to lack of historical consciousness''Vs'Expressing a political position to a celebrity is harsh.'



Amid the controversy over singer Lim Young-woong's DM, the public debate over it unfolded.

On the 7th, Lim Young-woong posted a photo commemorating the birthday of his dog, Siwol. It is a daily photo that is no different from usual, but the reaction of netizens was cold because the current situation was the current situation. In response, one netizen sent a somewhat sharp DM (direct message) saying, "What are you doing in this world?" and Lim Young-woong responded, "What is it?"

This netizen said "The whole nation is gathered over the impeachment bill of the president, which was declared unconstitutional, and I don't even want to speak out, but I'm really insensitive. Isn't the age group who went through martial law earlier the main consumer group?" Lim Young-woong pointed out, adding, `Am I a politician. Why are you speaking up?" is a controversial response.

Citizens angry at Yoon Suk Yeol's recent declaration of martial law held an impeachment demonstration demanding the resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol's president. Ahead of the vote on President Yoon's impeachment, a crowd of people gathered in Yeouido and shouted for President Yoon's impeachment.

Amid the noisy political situation, critics pointed out that Lim Young-woong's DM remarks lack historical consciousness. However, some argue that it is harsh to ask celebrities to express their political positions, saying that silence is also free.

Among them, Lim Young-woong's agency remains silent. Amid suspicions that Lim Young-woong is also blocking other netizens' DMs after the DM, attention is being paid to whether Lim Young-woong will express his position on the controversy.




Meanwhile, Lim Young-woong will hold a concert 'Lim Young-woong Recital (RE: CITAL)' at Gocheok Sky Dome from the 27th to January 4th next year.
