Choi Siwon, a member of the group Super Junior, has resumed his social media activity following a recent controversy regarding perceived political remarks. On February 22, 2026, Choi Siwon shared a post on his SNS account featuring a verse from 1 Chronicles 16:11 - 'Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.' This update has garnered significant public interest due to the timing of his previous digital posts.
The scrutiny surrounding Choi Siwon's social media began on February 19, 2026, the same day former President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the 12.3 emergency martial law incident. On that day, Choi Siwon uploaded the eight-character idiom 'Buryi Pilmang, Tobung Wahae' ('不義必亡, 土崩瓦解'). This phrase can be translated literally as 'When unjust, one is fated for ruin; the earth is in turmoil, the roofs collapsing,' or more interpretively as 'Injustice leads to institutional collapse.' Many observers interpreted the post as a symbolic critique of the court's sentencing of the former president.
In response to the resulting backlash, his agency, SM Entertainment, stated that it has identified numerous malicious posts, including personal attacks and insults directed at Choi Siwon. The agency emphasized that it recognizes the gravity of the situation and has filed formal complaints with investigative authorities through the law firm Sejong. Despite the ongoing legal measures and intense public discussion, Choi Siwon's decision to share another reflective message has led to continued monitoring of his public statements by both the industry and his audience.
