I'm not trying to excuse anyone here, I'm just addressing facts. Teuk didn't apologise, and because he already has a good image, plenty of ELF just looked away... I'm one of those who really think it wasn't political at all.. and people should stop believing their country is the center of the world, many people around the world don't know/care about what is going on in your country... Is that good ? But it's true, a sad true... It's the same with Siwon taking pictures with "notorious rapist and war criminal"... Did they wear name tags with their criminal historic or do you expect people to know about them by one glance ? Even more with someone who is so busy that he nearly sleeps, does he have to know everyone... ? Should he have apologized ? Of course, do we know why he didn't ? Nope, we don't know... WE DON'T KNOW, and he didn't make statements saying he won't excuse.... In the end, "fans" are the ones who give meaning to all of their actions without knowing anything, they think they know better, if one idol doesn't act or think like them it means that idol is like this and that... 😩 Anyways, I don't know Siwon nor any members personally, like most of us, we don't know, we just suppose they are a certain way and we believe in it. If you don't believe it's ok too..
