Recently, American Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a right-wing youth organization known for promoting conservative and pro-Trump politics, was shot and killed during an event at a university.
Charlie Kirk | ReutersHe shot to fame as one of Donald Trump’s most vocal defenders, sharing racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic ideology on social media and at in-person events, like the one at which he was killed.
Super Junior’s Siwon was one of the many who offered condolences and showed support after Kirk’s death, sparking a wave of criticism.
Popular K-Pop Idol Flamed For Showing Support For Right-Winger Charlie Kirk
After the influx of criticism, the idol has shared a message on a fan chatting platform that explained his side and attempted to justify his post.
| Dear U. BubbleI’d like to explain, since there has been much talk about my post related to mourning Charlie Kirk.
He was a Christian, the head of a household, and a husband. Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that he lost his life in a shooting while giving a lecture in front of countless college students is a heartbreaking tragedy beyond any political stance. That is why I mourned him.
After posting, I was grateful for the media’s attention, but since it seemed that my intentions were being interpreted differently by the press and others, I believed my sincere heart had already been conveyed and thus decided to take the post down.
However, since there is still much interest even now, I wanted to offer this explanation.

While his explanation has mirrored that of others who offered condolences, many have seen this as an indication of Siwan’s knowledge of Kirk’s viewpoints…

Charlie Kirk just called transgender people’s existence “a throbbing middle finger to God” and called out an individual trans woman, telling her “you’re an abomination to God!”

This is a reprehensible response attempting damage control. He was a family man and a husband? So were the thousands of fathers and husbands vilified by Kirk and MAGA – murdered in Palestine, murdered in Ukraine, deported and tortured by ICE. (1) https://t.co/7SkUuRWm2d pic.twitter.com/j3h2s9meIV
