Video Of Super Junior Siwon Saying “I Love Muslims” Triggers Backlash
When the K-pop idol arrived at the Malaysia airport, he noticed a fan who seemed familiar and asked him to pass on a message to others, saying he truly loves Muslims. While some appreciated the positive comment during their visit, others felt doubtful. They questioned if it was sincere, given his history.
For the unversed, earlier Choi Siwon faced immense backlash after he shared support after the death of Charlie Kirk, a well-known right-wing figure. This led to criticism of his social media posts, which many saw as racist and Islamophobic. He also showed admiration for figures like former US president Ronald Reagan and current president Donald Trump. These disappointed fans sparked calls for him to leave Super Junior. Therefore, the recent airport moment brought those old issues back into the spotlight.
Netizens pointed out the timing and location. They felt the statement came out of nowhere and seemed forced. Online users questioned his motives, with some calling it an attempt to fix his image in a Muslim-majority country.

User @SyazanaMI wrote, “He openly supports Zionist. He said that as a PR move because he was in Malaysia, performing in a country with a lot of Muslims but that doesn’t change any fact that he is genocide enabler and Zionist supporter through and through!” Another user @naiimmukhtar wrote, “this coming from the genocide supporter and far-right activist Charlie Kirk sympathiser? no thank you.”Others defended him, saying people can change and grow.
