'Lim Young-woong is not qualified as a Korean' Kim Gap-soo also criticized his determination after the DM controversy.



The aftermath of singer Lim Young-woong's DM remarks has continued for four days.

On the 9th, cultural critic Kim Gap-soo appeared on the podcast 'Maebul Show' and mentioned singer Lim Young-woong's controversy over direct messages.

Is Kim Gap-soo a politician? Why should I be interested?' This attitude is a lack of civic fundamentals. You can make these things public and criticize themEven if he cannot actively speak, he strongly pointed out that he should not be qualified as a Korean who has made Korean history until now if he takes a bystander attitude that escapes.



In response, Choi Wook also said, `I would like to criticize the media, which shows a neutral attitude that is not neutral, even if they take the time to criticize it. In the case of Lim Young-woong, he was angry as soon as he saw it. But I don't think I have time to be annoyed here now" he said. Kim Gap-soo was also "so elevated that I reacted differently to talk about breathing." In fact, there should have been a lot of reactions in the entertainment industry that are incomparable to now. How rigid and frozen our society has been, and how big a deal goes with every word, it shows this," he said.

In response, Choi Wook said, `I have no intention of getting close to Lim Young-woong. I hate it. Still, I don't have any desire to talk about this right now. He calmed down the atmosphere.

Lim Young-woong posted a picture of his dog Siwol's birthday on his account on the 7th. On this day, a demonstration was held to demand the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who declared an emergency martial law. In response, one netizen sent a DM saying, "What are you doing in this situation?" and Lim Young-woong responded sharply, "What is it?"

Netizens are saying, `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. The senior citizens who experienced martial law earlier expressed regret, saying, "Aren't you the main consumer?" but Lim Young-woong said, `Am I a politician. Why do you have to speak up?" Amid public opinion that Lim Young-woong's remarks were careless and the argument that the celebrity's political remarks were free has been disputed, complaints have been filed at Pocheon City Hall, which appointed Lim Young-woong as a public relations ambassador, and the aftermath continues.



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.
