Super Junior’s Choi Siwon has once again been at the centre of controversy following the group’s recent concert in Manila. The member has been getting backlash due to his radical political beliefs, but now people are also noticing the way he interacts with other members of he group. After receiving flak from the Instagram post regarding American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, fans have started closely monitoring Siwon’s onstage and offstage attitude. Read on to know more. 

Super Junior’s Awkward Interactions With Choi Siwon

Earlier this month, Super Junior’s Choi Siwon created controversy when he made comments grieving over Charlie Kirk’s untimely death, describing him as a powerful figure. The post was met with wide-scale backlash from fans across the globe, with his comments being deemed insensitive considering Kirk’s polarising political views. Siwon’s subsequent responses to fans only appeared to fuel the backlash, fuelling rumours of potential tension within Super Junior.

In the midst of all this, fan-recorded clips of Super Junior’s SUPER SHOW 10 tour in Manila have gone viral. At a group picture-taking session, keen-eyed fans spotted what looked like an awkward interaction, with Siwon looking like he stood alone from the rest of the members as they hugged each other. Even when Ryeowook went to Siwon, the latter was said to have kept his distance, a moment that immediately gave rise to speculations of tension.

Concert clips were shared on X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and fan sites, with people crying over Siwon’s seemingly solitary state. Some fans said that he was doing this on purpose amidst the backlash, while others speculated that the members might also be giving each other space after the scandal.
