Actor Zo In-sung was caught up in unexpected political comment attacks.
Zo In-sung on the 20th of last month posted on his social media, "Six years of companionship, thank you," and expressed gratitude as he wrapped up an advertising contract with a health brand.
However, the post turned into a field of political controversy rather than its original intent. Some netizens dredged up past remarks and left comments such as "You went to the candlelight rallies, right? What do you think now," and "Please share your thoughts on the 1,510 won exchange rate."
Hundreds of likes poured in on those comments, spreading the controversy. Moreover, stigmatizing expressions such as 'leftist?' and 'left-In-sung' followed, and the comment section quickly became overheated.
This controversy appears to have originated from Zo In-sung's remarks on the April 4 broadcast of MBC's "Questions for Sohn Seok-hee," in which he said, in effect, that he was worried because the exchange rate surged after martial law; some users expanded that into a political remark and the criticism continued.
Ultimately, the actor's routine social media post and broadcast remarks were consumed excessively through a political frame, and it appears that only Zo In-sung's comment section became a target for "pinpointing."
Of course, there are many who see this as excessive attack. Responses such as "Isn't this speculation?" and "It seems like a comment brigade has come," have been accompanied by voices supporting Zo In-sung.
