Super Junior Siwon is facing backlash after expressing condolences for the death of Charlie Kirk, an American right-wing figure. Following his post, Siwon’s messages on a fan chat platform have fueled further outrage.
The controversy intensified as a 2017 incident involving Siwon’s dog resurfaced. Critics reminded fans of a tragic event when Siwon’s dog, Bugsy, bit a neighbor. The woman, in her 50s, later died from septic shock.
In response to the recent criticism, discussions about Siwon’s past apology surfaced. He had previously expressed remorse for the incident, stating:
“I’m truly sorry for what happened.”
Reports indicated the dog had a history of aggression and was unleashed at the time of the incident. After the incident, Siwon’s family apologized, and the dog was sent away.
As the situation escalated, netizens reacted strongly. Some defended Siwon, pointing out his absence during the incident:
“He wasn’t even the one walking his dog when it happened,” one user tweeted.
Others highlighted the severity of the situation, calling attention to Siwon’s responsibility:
“People forget that Siwon is literally responsible for the death of a woman.”
With his recent social media activity gaining traction, Siwon’s reputation is now under intense scrutiny. Fans are monitoring the backlash closely.
