"I strongly believe that our leader should side with people who are powerless [...] do the right thing. People in power should side with the poor and work out things for the good.I want to do something very clear and progressive, for the betterment of society. " Choi Siwon
"Nor was I trying to express any particular political affiliation. What I wanted to say was not about the interests of any particular faction, but about the principles and standards that our society must uphold together."
But when he speaks clearly, suddenly you can't read.
아니에요. 충분히 잘하고 계십니다 ^^
무슨 말씀이신지 충분히 이해했습니다.
우선 저는 정치적 진영 논리에 따라 이야기한 적이 없습니다. 대중문화인이기 이전에 대한민국 국민의 한 사람으로서, 지금 우리 사회에 필요하다고 생각한 말씀을 드렸을 뿐입니다.
특정한 정치적 성향을 드러내고자 했던 것도 아닙니다. 제가 말씀드리고 싶었던 것은 어느 진영의 이해관계가 아니라, 우리 사회가 함께 지켜야 할 원칙과 기준에 관한 것이었습니다.
비판은 얼마든지 겸허히 받아들이겠습니다.
다만 도를 넘는 욕설과 인신공격성 표현까지 표현의 자유라는 이름으로 정당화될 수는 없다고 생각합니다. 저는 정당한 비판과 타인에게 피해를 주는 표현을 구분해 대응해 온 것입니다.
그래야 저뿐만 아니라 제 동료들과 후배들이 비슷한 피해를 겪지 않도록 하는 데에도 도움이 될 수 있다고 생각합니다.
말씀해 주신 부분은 유념하겠습니다.
걱정해 주셔서 진심으로 감사합니다.
NEW UPDATE OF SIWON'S LEGAL ACTION IN FEBRUARY 2026
Choi Siwon, a singer and actor who is a member Super Junior, has filed a lawsuit against individuals who posted malicious online content targeting him. It has recently been confirmed that he successfully obtained identifying information about the defendants through a U.S. court.
According to reporting by Sisa Journal on July 3, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted Choi Siwon's request on July 2 for pretrial discovery against 10 users of overseas platforms, including X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube.
In May, Choi filed a civil lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court seeking damages from the 10 individuals for defamation and insult. To identify the defendants so the lawsuit could proceed, he also petitioned the U.S. court to compel X and Google, which operate the platforms, to disclose identifying information such as their names, dates of birth, and addresses.
Choi's legal team argued that, based on the Korean language used in the posts and the account location information, there was no reason to believe any of the users were U.S. citizens or located in the United States, and therefore requested that the discovery application be granted.
The U.S. court approved the request. In particular, the judge cited legal precedent that the First Amendment's free speech protections do not apply to foreign nationals outside U.S. territory. The court found that the posts concerned a resident of South Korea and that there was no evidence the authors were U.S. citizens, meaning there was little risk of infringing First Amendment rights. The judge also determined that the requested disclosure was narrowly limited to information necessary to identify the defendants and was not overly broad.
As a result of the ruling, Choi Siwon can now continue his lawsuit in South Korea. His agency, SM Entertainment, had previously stated that it was collecting evidence of false information and mocking posts to protect its artists and would progressively expand legal action against verified unlawful conduct, suggesting that further legal measures are expected.

The series is an adaptation from a popular Taiwanese webtoon titled 要是未曾相遇就好了 (Do Not Wake Up).

The two fall deeply in love, but their romance becomes entangled with recurring nightmares and a series of strange, unsettling incidents. Before long, they find themselves caught up in a horrifying murder case.
Blending elements of psychological suspense and romance, the series promises a strong sense of mystery and emotional tension as the story unfolds. Additional cast members will be announced at a later date.

Worse than a hater is an obsessed hater who keeps claiming they “don’t give a sht” about someone and yet somehow stays updated on everything that person does.
