Singer Lee Young-ji quickly apologized for the political color controversy and wrapped up the situation, but singer JK Kim Dong-wook resurfaced the issue, making matters worse.
On the 31st of last month, Lee Young-ji posted a selfie on her Instagram wearing red hair and red clothing. She also inserted the song "REDRED" by the group Cortis as the background music for the post, sparking concerns about political color.
With the the 3rd local elections approaching, critics pointed out that the color red could be associated with a specific political party. As the controversy spread, Lee Young-ji deleted the photo, revealed her newly dyed black hair, and posted an apology statement.

Recently, many celebrities have been exercising special caution ahead of elections, such as avoiding finger symbol displays. Lee Young-ji also stated, "Although I was clearly aware that this is an important time, my desire to communicate came first, and I was busy posting recent status photos without much thought. I will not hide behind the cowardly excuse of ignorance. I will reflect and learn from this. I am sorry for my rash behavior."
It seemed the issue was settled with a quick apology, but JK Kim Dong-wook brought it up again, seemingly reviving Lee Young-ji's political color controversy. JK Kim Dong-wook said, "It's all over the place," and "Are they making a fuss over hair color now? That's below their level," delivering a strong criticism.
Meanwhile, JK Kim Dong-wook publicly expressed support for Yoon Suk-yeol during last year's impeachment political climate. Recently, regarding the controversy over Starbucks' "the 18th Tank Day" marketing, he also posted a message saying, "If you want to go, go. It's your choice," publicly showing his support.
