Fan Reactions and Backlash

Responses from fans on platforms like Twitter were swift. Many expressed outrage at Siwon’s insensitivity, pointing out that as a representative of K-pop’s long-standing idols, his remarks could damage the image of their beloved group.

“How could he say something like that publicly?” questioned one fan. Another lamented, “It’s unbelievable that he faces no repercussions for this.”

Further Controversy Over TikTok Gifts

Adding fuel to the fire, during another live session alongside Leeteuk, Siwon discussed how to send TikTok gifts—which convert to monetary value. This prompted further criticism, with fans arguing that he was promoting unnecessary spending among his followers.
