Choi Choi Siwon of the idol group Super Junior expressed sympathy for the Hong Kong protest and eventually apologized because of the strong opposition of China netizens.
According to the Global Times on the 25th, Choi Choi Siwon expressed sympathy on the media page where Patrick Cha Du-ri's recent Interview, which was seriously injured by a police officer during the Hong Kong protest, was shared. In the media, Cha Du-ri said, "I kill people with bullets, but I can not kill my beliefs."
When it was announced that Choi Choi Siwon expressed sympathy for this article, China netizens immediately criticized it. Choi Choi Siwon's Twitter Inc. capture screen drew explosive attention in the China edition of Twitter Inc. Weibo.
Netizens said, "Do not finger without knowing anything", "If you want to reveal your thoughts, go to Hong Kong and see the situation directly", "Because of one person, the whole group (Super Junior) was broken. I am very disappointed," he said.
In the end, Choi Siwon deleted the relevant content and officially apologized through his Weibo account. He posted in Weibo that he was sorry to disappoint him, saying he only wanted riots and chaos to stop.
On the other hand, when the Democratic Party won the victory in the Hong Kong district council election held the previous day, the pro-Chinese party was defeated, and related searches were blocked in Weibo. It seems that Weibo considers that the results of the Hong Kong election can spread and have a bad influence on the Chinese.
