How to tank your career with one message

I don't think i'll agree. You should leave when the company or job isn't adding anything to your life. Be it money or the learning or growth or whatever. And if you have nothing to contribute, i think company will be the first one to throw you out.

Quote from Popper-of-Ks

He shouldn't have said that, but celebrities also shouldn't be saying anything, really. Once you speak on the subject, it becomes a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

A day when we finally agreed on something has come!

I've said multiple times here: celebrities should shut their mouth up and say nothing on anything. Just mind your own business.

[Exclusive] “Why me” Im Young-woong’s remarks are causing a stir···Pocheon City is also checking the truth

Following the martial law situation, the aftereffects of the impeachment of the president are apparently reaching singer Lim Young-woong.

On the 9th, a Pocheon City official told our newspaper, “We are aware of the controversy surrounding Lim Young-woong and will review whether he is a public relations ambassador according to the relevant ordinance.”

Lim Young-woong was appointed as the public relations ambassador for Pocheon City in July 2019 and has been active to this day. In particular, it has been reported that a Pocheon City official, who was unknown at the time, selected Lim Young-woong as the public relations ambassador early on.

Recently, as the controversy over Lim Young-woong’s remarks arose, there were petitions to dismiss him as public relations ambassador, and the city is taking the position that it will review it accordingly. However, it is not at the stage of deciding on dismissal, and the city is taking the position that it will review the current controversy regarding Lim Young-woong and the city ordinance based on the contents of the petition.

On the 7th, Lim Young-woong posted a congratulatory message for his pet dog’s birthday. On that day, a netizen also criticized Lim Young-woong, saying, “What are you doing in this situation?” and released the DM (Instagram direct message) in which Lim Young-woong responded, “Am I a politician? Why are you raising your voice?”

The content spread like wildfire and drew some criticism amid the ‘12/3 martial law incident’ and the rejection of the impeachment bill for the president (Yoon Seok-yeol), leading to continued protests by citizens. Lim Young-woong’s side did not make any specific statement regarding the truth of the DM.

On the 8th, food columnist Hwang Kyo-ik wrote on Facebook about Lim Young-woong’s remarks, “Not making political statements is freedom. If you feel burdened by expressing your political opinions, it is better not to say anything about it,” but added, “Saying that only politicians can voice their political opinions can be heard as an insult to citizens who come out to the plaza on that cold day to express their political opinions, saying, ‘You are not even politicians.’”

In addition to public opinion criticizing Lim Young-woong's remarks, there is also a flood of supportive opinions asking, "Isn't there also the freedom not to make political statements?" and the debate continues.

His career will be fine.

His primary audience are older people, and they don't jump around "cancelling" like the younger generation does, even over peripheral associations or in this case disassociation.

Sure he could have handled it better. But meh.

Besides, it also depends on how the faux-crisis gets resolved, even if "yet another" S Korean president is kicked out in disgrace, the party dynamics continue to be the same.

S Korea is not Syria, where you can expect the new regime to be so bloody that it will soon make people miss the old bloodiness.

Bullying people for political disagreements has been going around for a while.

But shit, they are bullying this dude for refusing to have a political view, social media people get wild.
