[talk] Lim Young-woong, what is the controversy? Netizens are in the midst of controversy over lack of conviction and respect for political neutrality

Lim Young-woong has once again emphasized his determination to maintain political neutrality by revealing his first official position since the SNS message controversy, but reactions to this are mixed, and the controversy is heating up.

Lim Young-woong expressed his feelings to his fans at the Hero Recital solo concert held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 27th, saying, "I apologize for causing concern and worry. I am a singer. My role is to bring joy, comfort, and happiness through songs."

Netizens' reactions were divided for and against.

Those criticizing Lim Young-woong argued that "he should speak up as a citizen of the Republic of Korea before becoming a singer," and cited other singers who have voiced their opinions on society, such as singer Lee Seung-hwan and Girls' Generation's Yuri.

On the other hand, there were also opinions supporting Lim Young-woong's neutral stance, saying, "Forcing political statements is not right." In particular, they cited the IU CIA report as an example and said, "Seeing people like that, it's better to keep quiet," and supported Lim Young-woong's neutral stance.

From a neutral perspective, it was evaluated that "Lim Young-woong's response was somewhat immature, but not saying anything more in order to avoid further controversy" and it was also pointed out that it would have been best not to send the message in the first place ㅠㅠ

After the hero's official announcement, there's another half-and-half controversy ㅠㅠ

I think it would be better to just watch and wait now.

I don't know what's the point of arguing here

That's my position.
