Social Media Tag Supporting Seungri Gets Taken Over By Unexpcted Trolling

Netizens turned the meaning around.

Disgraced K-Pop artist Seungri might be keeping a low profile after his conviction in the infamous “Burning Sun” scandal and consequent imprisonment, but his fans have occasionally put him in the spotlight with their loud and proud support, despite all circumstances.

On December 12, Seungri’s fans started a tag on X (formerly Twitter), “Seungri Shines Brighter,” to show their support for the former idol on his birthday. The tag got enough posts to eventually make it to the trending page.

As the tag started accumulating more attention, K-pop fans took notice and started criticizing people still supporting Seungri, given his involvement in one of the most alarming prostitution and drug scandal cases in K-Pop. Consequently, the tag got inundated with posts from netizens expressing their frustration and trolling.
