Singer JK Kim Dong-wook (49), who supported Yoon Suk Yeol's president, has been canceled in Daegu.

Daegu Seo-gu Cultural Center announced on the 7th that it had canceled singer JK Kim Dong-wook's appearance at the "New Year's Concert with Seo-gu residents" on the 25th for safety reasons.

According to the Seo-gu Cultural Center, JK Kim Dong-wook's social networking service (SNS) recently received a flurry of complaints as he posted supporting Yoon Suk Yeol's president. The contents of the complaints were "If it is a Seo-gu Cultural Center, you should remain neutral" and "I will visit you on the day of the performance and protest."

On the same day, JK Kim Dong-wook also said on social media, "The organizer said it was for safety reasons because of external complaints against my appearance." The performance was canceled due to the threat of several agitators to protest if the performance was carried out.

"It's a shame that we've been practicing duet songs for a week since it's been a performance in Daegu for the first time in years," he said. "There were some words around us to respond with lawsuits, but I'm posting this in the hope that the threat of minority agitation will not discourage the majority of opinions again."

Canadian national JK Kim Dong-wook said on social media on the 3rd, "Protecting the president is protecting the country. The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit criticized the execution of the arrest warrant by posting, "Who is the WHO?" On the 5th, he shared the results of a poll and wrote, "Over 40% approval rating! This is the wish of those who long for liberal democracy, not the will of heaven," he wrote.
