I just shared the GP shots article, but I’m a stigma

This is what Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future Unification Party, said about Cho Hyun, a member of the girl group Berry Good, who was caught up in the political controversy on May 5. On Day 3, Cho Hyun shared an article in the SNS that the North Korean Army shot at our Military Watchpoint (GP). No mention was made. Since then, however, criticism of supporters of the pro-Bunmun issue has erupted. In response, Johyun explained, “There was no malicious intent,” but when the controversy did not subside, he finally posted.

In a call with JoongAng Ilbo, Assemblyman Ha said, “I’m only concerned with Chohyun’s shooting.” However, he argued that it is “my enemy” to see anyone who views North Korea negatively from a political point of view. He added: “The voice of control over this abnormal phenomenon should be given more by the Democratic Party than by me (opposition legislator).” Representative Ha also mentioned the controversy on his Facebook page on 4 and said: “The witch hunt must stop immediately.”

Shinyul Myongji University, a professor of political science and diplomacy, said: “It is a fact that North Korea’s military shooting at our side is a fact.” “It is difficult to understand why the article was published. That is why a celebrity can publish a negative article about the government.”

Recently, there have been few cases where celebrity SNS or YouTube videos are caught up in the ‘political controversy’. Singer Song Ga-in, winner of the ‘Mistlot’, appeared in a video about ‘Let’s make a good choice and take a good chance in the 2020 National Assembly elections’ on YouTube on July 7, and was caught up in suspicion of supporting the Democratic Party. The Democratic party is blue. Song Ga-in then explained, “I didn’t support a specific party.”

Actress Jo Bo-ah also suffered a single photo posted on social media. On the 10th of last month, he released a photo of the pre-voting check on his SNS. It was a photo showing a hand made with a voting stamp and made a “hand heart” using azalea as the background.

Soon after, “The color of the flower is similar to the symbolic color of United Party (Happy Pink)” and “Not supporting the United Party?” The post was removed.

Two years ago, Yoo Jae-seok was involved in a similar dispute. He appeared at the polls in blue hats, shoes, and jeans during the local elections on June 13 and was captured by an online press camera. Accordingly, the conservative YouTube channel Garro Vertical Research Institute said: “Yoo Jae-suk revealed the political propensity to support the Democratic Party” (December last year).

Professor Hyung-Joon Kim of Myongji University said: “It is an act that undermines the spirit of diversity and mutual respect, which is the core of democracy, by attacking them with a political framework that covers the general behavior and tastes of people”.
