SiWon, a member of the group Super Junior and an actor, has announced that he is beginning new social media activity.
SiWon recently joined Threads, the decentralized social network service operated by Meta, and posted a photo of his back while riding a horse with the caption, "Is this Threads?" He added, "I started Threads, but it is very empty."
SiWon continued, "If it were not for the empathy and support you send, my thoughts might have remained just monologues. Every warm word of support and encouragement is a great comfort and strength to me. I sincerely thank you." He then asked, "Going forward, I want to share the thoughts I have been pondering while worrying about the future of our country with you all. I will also listen to and learn from different opinions. Would it be okay to talk about this together?"
This move by SiWon is drawing attention as it comes amidst a series of political interpretations and debates surrounding his previous social media posts.
Previously, SiWon posted and then deleted the idioms "Injustice inevitably leads to ruin" and "Collapse like a crumbling wall" on the day of the first trial verdict for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, which sparked various interpretations. Last year, he posted and deleted a tribute to American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. Recently, he posted and deleted a night view photo presumed to be around Olympic Park in Seoul.
In this process, SiWon has taken strong legal action against malicious comments and political speculation directed at him. He initiated procedures by requesting the disclosure of user identity information from X and YouTube through a US court. On the 7th, he posted, "The silence ends here. I will no longer stand by and watch malicious intent," expressing his determination to respond to malicious posts and insulting comments.
