 'No Korean Qualification, No Promotional Ambassador'Lim Young-woong's DM controversy, or can he be responsible for it



Lim Young-woong's DM controversy is showing excessive overheating.

Lim Young-woong posted a post celebrating his dog's birthday on the 7th amid impeachment protests in the aftermath of Yoon Suk Yeol's emergency martial law incident.

Afterwards, netizen A sent a DM to Lim Young-woong saying 'What are you doing?'" He claimed that he received the answer "Am I a politician"Why are you speaking up?"



Initially, the post was known to be a DM sent by a popular entertainment program producer, but the producer explained that he had never sent a DM to Lim Young-woong. Later, it was revealed that the first person to write this post was a member of a famous female grasshopper cafe. This Yeocho cafe is famous for its radical feminism, support for certain political parties, and hatred of men.

Moreover, A deleted the article, and Lim Young-woong and his agency, Fish Music, have not expressed their position, so it is not determined whether the DM in question was sent by Lim Young-woong or not.

Nevertheless, criticism against Lim Young-woong is growing day by day.

Following taste columnist Hwang Kyo-ik, cultural critic Kim Kap-soo said on the podcast 「"Maebul Show" on the 9th, "Hasn't it possible that there was a genocide somewhere?"It's the same as saying '. 'Am I a politician? Why should I be interested?' This attitude is a lack of basic civic skills. He strongly criticized that he is not qualified as a Korean who has made a difficult history of democracy." Then Choi Wook "I have no desire to be close to Lim Young-woong. I hate it so much," he even mentioned his real name.



However, the public's response is not good because Kim Gap-soo has defended Nam Joo-hyuk and Hwang Young-woong's controversy over school violence, welcomed the return of Ko Eun, who was accused of sexual harassment, and April Lee Hyun-joo deserved to be bullied.

Some expressed sympathy, saying Lim Young-woong's behavior was careless, but many expressed concern, such as 'At first, I thought Lim Young-woong was wrong, but it seems to cross the line more and more.'It is not too late to criticize after it is revealed that the real Lim Young-woong said such a thing', 'It seems more basic to use Lim Young-woong's recognition to drag him out ', 'I'll catch Lim Young-woong later, who will be responsible if he says he didn't do it?'

In the meantime, a netizen filed a complaint with Pocheon City's National Newspaper saying, `Please actively consider canceling the appointment of a public relations ambassador, such as clearly grasping the authenticity of Lim Young-woong's DM remarks.' Only politicians can make political statementsIf it is true that he made a statement that could be interpreted to the effect of ', it is judged to be grossly inappropriate as it directly violates the constitutional values of `The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic, sovereignty lies with the people, and all power comes from the people.'

If it turns out that Lim Young-woong made the remarks in question, of course, he should take the blame for the lack of historical consciousness. But if it's a victim of fake news, who can be responsible for the damage of a mad mass attack. It's time for excessive personal attacks and witch hunts to stop.
