There is a saying, "Revolving door." It means that entertainers such as songs and acting are attracted to their main job, but they are quickly deviated by speech mistakes and attitude controversy. It is an Internet term likened to a Revolving door that returns to the exit while trying to enter the entrance with a quick entrance and a deviance.
Recently, Simon Dominic has been showing such a 'Revolving door' aspect without regret, and there is already a sound of how many exits are already coming out. In MBC 'I Live Alone' broadcast on June 18, Simon Dominic was impressed by the last episode of the TVN drama 'My Man from Nowhere' starring IU. Simon Dominic continued to act as if calling singer IU, and told the other party in the cell phone, "Ji Eun just cried more than the last episode of 'My Man from Nowhere'. "My life has been a bit tight these days, so I was tearful," he said.
The other person replied, "Oh really? You cried when you saw it." The rainbow members who saw this were surprised to say, "Did you really call IU?" But in fact, the voice identity that resembles IU was a general person who simulated IU in a voice-based SNS clubhouse.
After the broadcast, various SNS and Internet communities have criticized Simon Dominic's conversation with the fake IU, which may cause misunderstanding. The production team deleted the scene from the rebroadcast of "I live alone" and re-edited the OTT platform VOD. The biggest fault is for the crew who edited and promoted Simon Dominic to appear to have spoken to the real IU, but Simon Dominic could not be free from responsibility either.
Simon Dominic, a famous person whose name and face are known, calls the general public who imitates IU on the air (IU real name), and the act of talking about the drama that IU appeared is absurd.
Simon Dominic was once in controversy when he encouraged a petition for the death of a college student who disappeared from Han River. On May 12, Simon Dominic shared a link with his national petition capture titled 'Let's unravel the unfairness of Han River missing college student * * * *' through his Instagram story. The petition was to urge the investigation of the death of the late Son Jung-min and to criticize the police's procrastination. In the meantime, Simon Dominic has been interested in the crime Susa, which has become a social issue such as 'N-Bang' and 'Jungin'.
However, Son Jung-min's friend A was suspected of being a criminal without revealing the obvious suspicion of killing Son Jung-min. Mr. A's personal image as well as his family and relatives were leaked on the Internet, and the intense Susa had already reached the extreme of mental suffering. The indiscreet mischief and dissemination of false facts toward Mr. A and his family were also enormously serious. In such a situation, criticism was poured that it was rash for star Simon Dominic, who has more than 1.5 million followers, to encourage petitions to promote conspiracy theories.
In 2018, Simon Dominic disappeared from "I Live Alone," which was being semi-fixed due to abusive language and verbal abuse during live broadcasts. Simon Dominic, who re-appeared in "I Live Alone" in the next three years, was loved by his unique cool personality and witty dedication. This is why the controversy over IU impersonation, which was revealed in Simon Dominic broadcasts, is felt even more regrettable.
Simon Dominic is active as a member of the project group MSG Wannabe in MBC's popular entertainment program 'What do you do?' The emotional balader side of the reversal that he showed as a powerful rapper got a hot response. The positive image Simon Dominic has gained from his main job and entertainment is being undermined by his indiscreet words and actions. If he is a 'hip' artist and does not care about other controversy and evaluation at all, there is nothing to say, but if he wants to be steadily loved and loved by the public, he needs a cautious attitude.
