Singer Lim Young Woong: ”What is it, why am I making a noise?”... DMs discussed amid Yoon impeachment political situation

Singer Lim Young Woong's direct message became the center of controversy. Her comment that she would not speak out amid the political situation surrounding the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol became a problem.
On the afternoon of the 7th, a netizen sent a DM to Lim Young Woong's personal SNS account asking, "What are you going to do in these times?"
Surprisingly, Lim Young Woong responded to the message with, "What is it?" In response, a netizen commented, "Regarding the unconstitutional impeachment motion against the president for declaring martial law,
The whole nation is gathering together, but they don't want to raise their voices, so it's really insensitive. Aren't your main consumer demographic the generation that experienced the last martial law?"
Lim Young Woong responded again, saying, "Am I a politician? Why are you speaking out?" The netizen posted the contents of the DM on his personal Twitter account.
The person with whom the netizen exchanged DMs matches the verified account of Lim Young Woong's personal SNS. The ID, number of followers, number of posts, and profile picture are all the same.
The person who sent the DM to other unbelieving internet users took a picture of the screen with the DM on Twitter using the camera of another mobile phone and scrolled through it to verify it.
When netizens verified that the DMs exchanged with Lim Young Woong were correct, a controversy arose over Lim Young Woong's comments.
The netizen pointed out that Lim Young Woong would not make any comments that day.
The reason is that Lim Young Woong posted a photo celebrating the birthday of his pet dog, Siwol, during the impeachment of President Yoon. Our reporters also confirmed the authenticity of the DM that Lim Young Woong replied to.
The same day, a candlelight vigil calling for President Yoon's resignation was held in front of the National Assembly.
Although they are not politicians, some celebrities have also posted messages on social media calling for people to participate in the impeachment rallies, or even attended the rallies in person to make their voices heard.
It was also the day that many celebrities, including Go MinSi, Ko Hyun Jung, and Ko A Sung, made their voices heard.
Of course, just because you are a public figure or a celebrity doesn't mean you have to speak out.
This is because when celebrities express political inclinations or make political statements, they often face controversy.
However, netizens who received Lim Young Woong's DM commented that while celebrities are free to not make political statements, they should not be confused.
They are expressing their dissatisfaction with the way he posted a message celebrating his beloved dog's birthday in the midst of such turbulent times, failing to read the mood, and with the way he responded to internet users.
Lim Young Woong has once again been embroiled in a scandal ahead of his performance "Lim Young Woong Recital (RE:CITAL)" on the 27th.
On the same day, the impeachment motion against President Yoon was scrapped as a majority of ruling party lawmakers did not participate.
