Singer Naul posted a poster of the film “National Foundation War” on social media, but closed the comment window after a series of malicious comments from opposition netizens.

On the 12th, Naul posted on his Instagram a photo of the “Founding War” movie poster and a photo of an old Bible that appears to have been used by former President Syngman Rhee. Along with this, he wrote a Bible verse that says, “Christ set us free that we might be set free; therefore stand fast in Him, and be not again subject to the yoke of bondage.”

“Founding War” is a documentary film that sheds light on the life and achievements of Syngman Rhee. Former President Syngman Rhee accepted the Christian faith at Pai Chai Academy, which he entered at the age of 20. His Christian network, established since his Bae Chai School days, later became a great asset in diplomacy with the United States. Naul is also known to be a devout Christian.

Subsequently, critical posts about Naul were published in opposition-oriented online communities. At around 9pm this day, a post titled “Naul is certified as 2-star (conservative supporter)” was published on Clien, and in less than 12 hours, over 130 comments were published. Netizens said: “Respecting Syngman Rhee is not a matter of personal taste, but of intelligence. They left critical comments such as “Goodbye,” “The Church is really the problem,” and “This is what it means to lose affection.”

In other online communities, “Naul’s Instagram is in controversy”, “Naul’s 2 photos are verified”, “Is Naul verifying this with pride?” Many articles with titles like

Similar comments followed on Naul’s Instagram. Netizens said, “Study on Syngman Rhee again,” “I’ve never seen him like this, but my affection is collapsing,” and “You can’t believe you are defending something like this.” Most of the comments were malicious, such as “There is no shield.” Ultimately, Naul was barred from commenting.

There have been many cases in the past where celebrities have been criticized for expressing their political beliefs. In 2020, as the coronavirus was spreading, broadcaster Park Myung-soo received a barrage of malicious comments after criticizing the Moon Jae-in administration’s response, saying, “I don’t know if there’s any point in queuing up to buy a mask .” Tsuyang, a popular ‘mukbang’ YouTuber, posted a video of himself eating seafood in September last year, soon after Japan began discharging contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and received a negative comment saying : “This is a tough situation, so be smart about it.”

Around the same time, singer Kim Yuna received negative comments after publicly criticizing the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. She reacted strongly, saying, “I can’t believe that people I’ve only heard about came to me personally with comments,” and when the criticism continued, she said, “I wasn’t expressing a political position.” Actor and model Bae Jeong-nam received negative comments in September last year after posting a photo of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk’s new book “Dike’s Tears”.

According to the expert, a climate should be created in which anyone can talk freely about politics. Cultural critic Son Hee-jeong told CBS Radio: “Korea seems to have a culture that demands neutrality in a very strange way. In the United States, there are many cases where celebrities make political comments, but it’s not a problem “. He continued: “Gender has become an issue in politics, and politics seems to be treated like a religion” and “I think there is an underlying hatred towards others.”
