´
While singer Lim Young-woong is in controversy for his rash DMs during the impeachment, rumors have emerged that he will be dismissed as a public relations ambassador for Pocheon City. Pocheon City revealed that it is not true.
Pocheon City Hall said, `We have never discussed or reviewed the dismissal of Lim Young-woong as a public relations ambassador.' Pocheon City Hall said the authenticity of Lim Young-woong's DM controversy has not yet been confirmed, adding that there is a possibility that it will be reviewed after confirmation.
Lim Young-woong was appointed as an ambassador for Pocheon City in 2019. However, on the 7th, the war of words through netizens and DM (direct messages) dealt a blow to the image that even rumors of dismissal were raised.
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?"
In response, netizens said, `The whole nation is gathered over the impeachment bill of the president, which was enacted by martial law, 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 are you speaking up?" is a controversial response.
The freedom not to make political remarks should be respected, but as many celebrities are criticizing the impeachment, Lim Young-woong's remarks, saying, `Why are you speaking out when you're not even a politician,' were somewhat careless. Lim and his agency have remained silent until now. As a result, rumors have been raised that Lim will be dismissed as an honorary ambassador for Pocheon City, his hometown, and the controversy is still lingering.
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.
