Super Junior's Choi Si-won ignited patriotic fervor by posting an image of a properly displayed South Korean flag.

On the 17th, Choi Si-won shared a message on his Instagram account: "There is but one path before us." Alongside the post, he included a photo of the national flag and the phrase "Pray for Korea," showcasing his burning patriotism.

Earlier, controversy arose over a banner posted by Incheon City, which depicted the taegeuk symbol and trigrams of the South Korean flag upside down. Member Kim Hee-chul expressed anger in a comment on the post about the Incheon City banner, writing, "X has gone crazy." Choi Si-won also showed his support by leaving an emoji of the South Korean flag.

As the controversy grew, Incheon City clarified that the image was not a misdrawn flag but rather depicted an independence activist waving the flag from a low-angle perspective looking upward. However, acknowledging the potential for misunderstanding, the city decided to remove the banner.

Following this, Kim Hee-chul apologized, stating, "I failed to recognize the figure holding the flag and reacted angrily after seeing only the taegeuk image in an instant. This was clearly my fault due to a lack of spatial awareness and impulsiveness. I am sorry."

However, Choi Si-won responded on social media, writing, "Rather than explanations, I believe acknowledging and correcting mistakes is a more responsible attitude." Following this controversy, during the Liberation Day holiday, he once again shared an image of the national flag along with another cryptic message, drawing attention.
