Popular Idol “Forcing” Religion On Fans At Concerts Sparks Massive Backlash

Recently, an online community post about Super Junior’s Siwon garnered much attention.

The post shared the reason he started singing Contemporary Christian music (CCM) at concerts and why he stopped.

“The reason he started: To praise God.

The reason he stopped: One day, after singing a Christian song, he came down and asked the staff how he did. He realized that praising God was what was important, not how well he had sung it…He felt that it wasn’t praise but corruption and stopped singing from then on.”

However, the OP felt that singing CCM at a concert wasn’t right in the first place.

I don’t think praising God should be the priority in the first place, especially since he gets paid while the fans pay to watch the concert…

— OP

Netizens were in absolute shock that fans let this slide during concerts.

• “He only thinks about himself.”
• “This is so weird.”
• “So fans have been letting him do this all this time? Wow.”
• “The true Christians really are built differently.”
• “Choi Siwon and Kim Heechul…they actually have fans left?”
• “The mindset of these religious people is really…”
• “Wait, so you’re not joking about this? He did that at a concert?”
• “Then he shouldn’t get paid…go do it during church service.”
• “Go to church and do it.”
