Super Junior’s Siwon Seemingly Hits Back At Ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol’s Life Imprisonment Verdict

On February 19, Super Junior’s Choi Siwon posted a photo on Instagram revealing a Chinese idiom.

The two idioms read, “If you are not righteous, you will surely perish” and “to completely collapse like the earth crumbling.” When the two are used together, it can be interpreted as a warning that corruption and injustice ultimately lead to the collapse of an organization or system.

Recently, an online community post titled, “Choi Siwon’s Instagram after the verdict of Yoon Suk Yeol,” was posted. Many believed that this was his indirect response to the ex-President being sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly leading a rebellion in connection with the martial law incident.

Previously, Siwon also posted in support of Yoon Suk Yeol after he won the 2022 election.
