Rapper Beenzino shared his thoughts on issues such as the shortage of ballots and the negative election controversy involving the National Election Commission.

Beenzino appeared in a video titled "Patriotic conservative Beenzino, who has something to say about the National Election Commission," released on the YouTube channel 'Beautiful Nerd' on the 5th.

Regarding his indirect reference to the National Election Commission through the lyric "Sun-gu-an Wi" in his song, Beenzino said, "If you follow that logic, my album should have come out with negative content when it was released. If that's the logic, isn't it actually healthier for the public to be able to harbor such suspicions?"

He continued, "There seems to be a trend where anyone who suspects is labeled a conspiracy theorist. So, shouldn't we be allowed to suspect?"

Beenzino stated, "Even while reading the Bible, I continue to suspect. I believe the most dangerous thing is blind faith, whether in human relationships or in life. I have decided not to adopt an attitude of unconditional certainty."

Previously, in March, Beenzino commented on the lyrics of Kwon Oh-seon's "W.I.N.," featuring Beenzino, on Mnet's "Show Me The Money12."

The song "W.I.N." sparked controversy with the lyrics, "If you look closely at everything, you'll be surprised, at that level, it's like Sun-gu-an Wi." The term "Sun-gu-an" sounds similar to "Seon-gwan-wi," an abbreviation for the National Election Commission, leading to opinions that it was raising suspicions of election fraud. Additionally, lyrics such as "I trampled on equality, which I praised more than freedom. My EX," and "Rise, comprehensive income Tax" were interpreted as having political implications.

Subsequently, the phrase "Sun-gu-an Wi" was deleted from the lyrics of "W.I.N." uploaded to music streaming sites, raising further curiosity.

Beenzino clarified, "I deleted the word myself to emphasize it, so the absence of the lyrics on music streaming sites is not due to self-censorship by the platforms."

Later, in May, Beenzino released his new song "Southside Freestyle" (SOUTHSIDE FREESTYLE). This was a pre-release track from his third full album, "Pop Is Cryin'," his first full album in about seven years.

Along with the release of "Southside Freestyle" on music streaming sites, Beenzino also unveiled the music video on his official YouTube channel.

In the video, a recording of the late Lee Seung-man Jeon (President) was inserted, drawing attention. The song begins with the words of this Jeon (President): "It is news of life, news of freedom." The lyrics also revealed specific political ideologies, such as "If I had chosen, I would have knelt / Before the hammer and sickle," "Inciting a sex worker / Let's make love extinct / My voice has success / A beautiful woman's voice has extinction-(static noise)."
