Model Hong Jin Kyung is caught up in a political color controversy.
Hong Jin Kyung posted photos on her personal social media on the 2nd with the hashtags "#stockholm #ourlegacy."
The released images show Hong Jin Kyung trying on outfits from the fashion brand Our Legacy in Stockholm, Sweden. Demonstrating her modeling background, Hong Jin Kyung naturally pulls off long boots and a form-fitting knit shirt, leaving onlookers in awe.
Among them, the color of the knit Hong Jin Kyung wore sparked heated debate, as it was a striking red.
Today (3rd), ahead of the 21st presidential election, the entertainment industry has generally avoided discussions of clothing color and various finger pose symbols, which have become effectively taboo. Karina, a member of the girl group aespa, faced a political color controversy after posting a photo wearing an outfit designed with red patterns and the number 2 on social media. Although she denied it, the aftermath led to her being quoted by certain candidate supporters as a 'conservative goddess,' sparking further controversy.
Furthermore, Hong Jin Kyung had previously interviewed the leading presidential candidates: candidate number 1, Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea; candidate number 2, Kim Moon-soo of the People Power Party; and candidate number 4, Lee Jun-seok of the Reform Party, on her personal YouTube channel 'Study King Jjin Genius.' This has sparked criticism that despite the clear implications of color expression on social media during the presidential election scenario, it induced a political color controversy.
In fact, the comments on Hong Jin Kyung's post include many red heart emojis, seemingly in support of her. Meanwhile, opposing internet users are criticizing, saying things like, 'Karina did something big; why can't she show it?' and 'Are you supporting the martial law?'
