On September 10, U.S. right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was killed during an event, drawing mixed reactions worldwide. While some extended condolences despite opposing his views, many criticized him for his history of discriminatory remarks targeting minorities.
Siwon publicly shared his condolences on Instagram, later reiterating his stance, which only intensified the backlash. Fans quickly began demanding his removal from the group, with hashtags like #Siwon\ Out and online petitions calling for his departure gaining traction.
Fueling speculation of internal discord, fans noticed a shift in Super Junior’s dynamics. When the group recently gathered for a schedule, Siwon’s interactions with the others appeared noticeably strained. Shortly after, fans discovered that Leeteuk and Yesung had unfollowed Siwon on Instagram while still following other members sparking rumors of a rift within the team.
This move has been interpreted by many as a sign of disapproval from his bandmates, further strengthening the push from fans for Siwon to step away from Super Junior. The controversy continues to divide opinion, leaving the group’s future unity under question.
