Ahn Sohee is facing political backlash after her recent Instagram posts during the South Korean Presidential election.
On June 2, KST, the former Wonder Girls member shared Instagram stories showing the polling station where she voted. Shortly after, she posted a photo next to red rose bushes, captioned “So hehe” with red rose and heart emojis.
The red rose and color red are symbols tied to the ruling party. Netizens quickly assumed Sohee was endorsing the party and its presidential candidate, sparking intense criticism.
In response to the backlash, Sohee posted a completely blue-toned story featuring a clear sky and sea — the opposing party’s official color. This was widely seen as her attempt to counter her earlier post.
Netizens reacted positively to the blue image, saying:
“Protect Sohee.”
“Seriously, stop the insane, baseless hate already. Go live your life.”
“Ugh, let’s not get too caught up in politics.”
“Lol, she must’ve felt really wronged.”
“.”
Sohee’s political symbolism on Instagram stirred major controversy but her follow-up post eased tensions online. The situation remains active as fans and critics monitor her social media moves closely.
