What did Byun Yo-han do that drew criticism?

Actor Byun Yo-han, 40, faced online backlash after he left a heart emoji and a three-heart comment on a handwritten apology posted by Song Min-ho of the group Winner. According to Star News reporter Kim Na-ra, the reaction came shortly after Byun had been building a positive image through his married life with Tiffany Young of Girls' Generation and the release of the film 'Tazza: The Hidden Card.'

Why was Song Min-ho's apology controversial?

Song Min-ho was given a suspended prison sentence at first trial for leaving his assigned social service workplace without permission for 102 days. On October 10, he posted an apology saying he was sorry to disappoint young men who fulfill their military duty and his fans, and that he regretted his past irresponsible choices. Netizens felt that publicly showing support for him, especially with hearts, was tone-deaf on such a sensitive issue.

What happened with Yoon So-hee?

Yoon So-hee, 33, also faced criticism at the same time. The renewed attention came after YouTuber Park Wi became the center of a controversy over a KTX injury-mocking incident. A September 2024 video on his channel showed Yoon So-hee visiting the family home during his first Chuseok after marrying Song Ji-eun. The outlet reported that netizens alleged Song Ji-eun was treated differently, pointing to tableware, the order of the pre-meal prayer, and family conversation. The report noted that it is difficult to confirm discrimination from a few scenes, but Yoon's social media comments have been flooded with abusive messages.
