Karina di Aespa He aroused controversy after publishing a photo of Instagram in a red jacket with the number “2”: symbols related to the People Power Party (PPP) and his candidate Kim.. Although the photo had no caption and was quickly eliminated, his times during a television electoral debate fed the speculation on political approval.
Critics questioned the reason why a high -level idol would have shared a politically suggestive image, while others accused her of supporting a party with scandal. Karina AND Smeniorinment He denied any political intent, but the repercussions persisted, with PPP figures even republish the photo as if he had reported the support, without his consent.
This accident highlights the hard k-pop control idols that face South Korea, where political neutrality is expected. Since 2012, the actions of celebrities during the electoral seasons – how to publish signs “V” or wear symbolic colors – have been heavily dissected by the public and the media.
The idol management systems also contribute to this problem. The agencies closely control the behavior of the stars to protect the investments of billions of billions, but this internal censorship feeds only the public suspicion. Many asked how Sm I have not foreseen the repercussions, knowing that idols often do not manage their accounts.
Globally, stars like Taylor Swift They took political positions and have faced criticism, but in countries like the United States, they are still free to speak. In Korea, idols are treated almost as public employees, who expect to remain silent to avoid alienating fans or hurting business.
Karina’s Case does not concern the actual support for a part: it concerns the way in which the Korean society is able to express an idol. A healthier democracy allows space to different views, even from pop stars. Instead of punishing individuals, it is time to re -evaluate the social pressures that silence them.
The comments react to this analysis post:
- Because you’re even raising Taylor Lol
- They forgot that n. 2 is it a conservative party?
- Don’t joke with Taylor
- Honestly, it makes me not love more
- Journalists are meaningless again
- Haha, if you really wanted to compare Taylor, then is basically how to show that it voted #1 ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ How can you compare it to support the conservative party?
This controversy not only underlines the Korean idols of the wire of the line in a row, it must also walk, but also raises important questions about freedom of expression in the entertainment sector and in society in general.
