Super Junior's Choi Siwon recently responded to the 'political controversy' label that often accompanies his social media posts. On July 14, 2026, Choi responded to a user who questioned why his statements are often seen as controversial.
'Why is it called a controversy when Choi Siwon says it? I really don't understand. Someone explain,' the user wrote. The post compared headlines that said Choi was involved in a “political controversy” to coverage of Song Hye Kyo expressing her “political beliefs,” as well as other celebrities being praised for “speaking openly.”
In response, Choi Siwon said, “I feel like I’m just talking about basic principles. I don’t agree with comments about universal values like people’s sovereignty and equality before the law being made into a ‘political controversy.’”
Choi also expressed his support for another post that referenced previous reports stating that he was "not interested in politics" before later writing about "concerns about the future of our country." Throughout his career, Choi Siwon has often been caught up in debates over social media posts deemed to have political overtones.
In February 2026, he briefly posted two meaningful four-character phrases on the day of Yoon Suk Yeol's first court ruling before deleting them, sparking speculation about whether they had a political message.
The argument then escalated into personal attacks and insulting posts online, prompting Choi's side to take legal action against the malicious comments. "The silence ends here," Choi wrote on social media on July 7, 2026. "I will no longer remain silent as the malicious attacks continue."
