"Ah, spring has finally come." Was this one remark so unpleasant? Actor Lee Dong-wook has left a message for fans right after the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, and far-right netizens are posting hateful comments on social media, causing frowns.
On the 5th, an unexpected verbal dispute broke out on Lee Dong-wook's social media. He was bombarded with hateful comments.
The controversy began on the 4th, after the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol was announced at 11:22 a.m. On that day, the Constitutional Court unanimously accepted the impeachment motion against former President Yoon Suk-yeol by eight judges. It was 111 days after Yoon Suk-yeol plunged the nation into chaos through a state of emergency on Dec. 3.
In relation to this, Lee Dong-wook left a message through the online communication platform Bubble with his fandom. He expressed his joy, saying, "Ah, spring has finally come" and "The winter was too long." While there was no subject, it was easily read and interpreted without a target, given the intense interest nationwide in the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol.
Additionally, Lee Dong-wook shared the debut song and hit song of the girl group Girls' Generation, "Again Meeting the World." "Again Meeting the World" has also gained recognition as the protest song for the MZ generation, previously sung at rallies calling for the impeachment and removal of former President Yoon Suk-yeol. In response, Lee Dong-wook added, "It seems spring is one step closer," generating cheers from fans.
However, far-right netizens opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol carried out a terror of hateful comments on Lee Dong-wook's social media. The personal attacks included phrases like, "You were a 'dirt spoon,' why are 'dirt spoons' always left-leaning?" and, "The president's approval rating is 50 percent. Either way, half the people are being ignored by you, right? I understand well," along with comments like, "Now it's spring? It must be a drum can." The level of hate comments was shocking.
In contrast, online communities and fans with opposing views showed their support for Lee Dong-wook by promoting a 'positive comment' movement. Ultimately, Lee Dong-wook's social media became stained with hateful comments, causing disappointment.
Lee Dong-wook debuted as an actor in 1999 with the MBC drama "Best Theater." He has received acclaim for numerous dramas including "My Girl," "Goblin," and the "Tale of Gumiho" series. He is also meeting viewers with the tvN new Monday-Tuesday drama "Divorce Insurance," which premiered on the 31st of last month. Additionally, he is being praised for his down-to-earth wit and entertainment sense through multiple appearances in the web entertainment show "Gong Yoo" hosted by Yoo Jae-suk.
