Super Junior’s Siwon Faces Fan Backlash Over Controversial Tribute Post
Seoul, South Korea – September 2025 – Tensions have emerged within the Super Junior fandom after member Siwon posted a tribute on social media to a late American conservative figure. The tribute included the biblical verse, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” sparking criticism from fans who objected to the political associations of the post.
In response to the backlash, Siwon clarified that his intention was personal rather than political. He explained that his message was a gesture of sorrow for a fellow Christian, husband, and head of household, calling the situation a “heartbreaking tragedy beyond any political stance.” Despite this clarification, Siwon deleted the original post.
However, the controversy deepened when some fans created a dedicated account urging his departure from Super Junior. In a surprising move, Siwon commented directly on the account with the words “I LOVE YOU.” The comment sparked even more division—some saw it as dismissive, while others viewed it as an attempt to show affection and reconcile with critics.
The incident has ignited heated discussions online, highlighting the delicate balance between personal beliefs, public figures’ platforms, and fandom expectations. While some fans continue to call for accountability, others are urging unity within the Super Junior fandom.
