Super Junior's Choi Si-won showed his patriotism.

On the 1st, a netizen posted on social media a photo of a car driving with a Taegukgi sticker attached upside down. Upon seeing this, Choi Si-won personally left a comment saying, "I sincerely wonder what the reason is for doing it that way."

Choi Si-won has long shown high interest in political and social issues. Recently, he drew attention by publicly supporting the blockade protest at the Seoul Songpa-gu Jamsil ballot counting center. He stated, "Increasing trust in elections is not an effort for any one side regardless of ruling or opposition parties, but a cause for all of South Korea's democracy."

The Seoul Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium, used as the Jamsil ballot counting center, has been the site of ongoing blockade protests condemning the shortage of voting ballots during the the 3rd local elections. Regarding this, Choi Si-won said, "Citizens who are voicing their opinions on-site even in bad weather with rain are striving to protect South Korea's democracy and the value of each precious vote." He added, "I hope that these citizens' sincerity and efforts will not be judged or lightly dismissed by specific words or frames under any circumstances," raising his voice.

Additionally, he filed a lawsuit for damages against 10 individuals who posted malicious posts and insulting comments targeting his political leanings, religion, and appearance. Recently, he requested the disclosure of user identity information from online accounts in accordance with U.S. federal law, and the U.S. Northern District Court of California granted the motion for discovery, enabling him to identify the 10th individuals behind the malicious posts.

Through a statement submitted to the court, it was reported that Choi Si-won claimed he suffered severe mental and psychological distress due to serious insults and defamation, and that his social and professional reputation as a member of Super Junior was significantly damaged.
