His social media activity caused a stir.
At approximately 10:25 pm on December 3, 2024 (KST), President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol appeared on national television and declared “martial law” for the first time since 1979, only to withdraw it six hours later after a harsh reaction from the public and a successful motion by the National Assembly to quash the order.
Although the declaration of martial law has caused significant disruption in all aspects of the nation, including the entertainment industry, celebrities have not been as vocal in criticizing President Yoon as the general public. But it seems like BIG BANG‘S G-Dragon he may have hinted at his location.
December 4 KST, writer Ha Sang Wook posted a photo of his poem on social media, which read: “Please go away alone.” This verse was taken from Ha’s collection of poems, Don’t turn off the lights before lying down in bed.
While the post did not directly mention President Yoon or the declaration of martial law, given the timing, many assumed it was directed at Yoon Suk Yeol. This also reflects growing calls for the South Korean president’s impeachment, both among the public and political parties.
Interestingly, G-Dragon’s Instagram one account was noted among those who “liked” the post, leading to speculation that it was his way of showing support for the current feelings of the Korean public.
While G-Dragon’s response may be speculative at best now, his music took center stage as audiences dealt with the sudden shock of the declaration of martial law. In the hours following the announcement, G-Dragon’s 2013 album Coup d’état has become the most searched term on South Korean search engines. Album-related keywords also dominated Melonin the search rankings, becoming the most searched terms at that time.
Meanwhile, other idols like them BIBI AND MONSTA‘S I AM they were somewhat involuntary trapped in the situation of declaring martial law. Read more here.
