K-Pop idol Anton of the rising boy band RIIZE is facing fresh controversy after netizens unearthed a suspected secret Instagram account linked to him. The account, with the username “ilovesamsungsomuch,” has fueled accusations that Anton harbors negative feelings towards Korea.

The controversy comes on the heels of Anton’s recent dating scandal, which has already sparked heated discussions online. Now, Korean netizens are expressing outrage over the suspected secret account, claiming it’s a disrespectful jab at Samsung, a major Korean electronics brand.

The username “ilovesamsungsomuch” is viewed by many as sarcastic, suggesting Anton might hold Korean products or companies in low regard. This has ignited anger amongst Korean fans, who feel the singer is mocking their national pride.

Adding fuel to the fire is the past controversy surrounding Anton’s father, musician Yoon Sang. In his youth, Yoon Sang faced investigations for attempting to avoid mandatory military service in Korea by acquiring Argentinian citizenship. The incident resurfaced in online discussions, with some netizens suggesting it reflects a pattern of disrespect for Korea within Anton’s family.

Korean netizens reacted strongly to the accusations. Comments ranged from calls for an apology to demands for Anton to relinquish his Korean citizenship. Many expressed disappointment, believing his actions reflect poorly on both him and his Korean heritage.

Korean social media has been flooded with comments criticizing Anton. Many fans who previously overlooked the dating scandal are now demanding a strong response. Here’s a glimpse of what netizens are saying:

I guess Yoon Sang’s son is just going to give up his Korean citizenship when the time comes for him to get his physical examination for his military service assignment.”

“Like father like son.”

“Forget the dating scandal. If that secret account is really his, he’s as rotten as they get. Both of his parents are Korean and it just so happened that he was born in America. He thinks he can insult Korea?”

“Time for another apology letter.”

“Take away his Korean citizenship and deport him back to where he came from.”

“If this is true, he can kiss his career goodbye? Only crazy fans care about dating scandals, but regular people will have his head over this.”

“I’d love to see him go back to his country and try to make it as a musician there. Oh wait, he can’t.”

“He can act all high and mighty however much he wants but to the eyes of all other Americans, you’re just as Korean as any of us kekekekeke.”

“This boy thinks he has blue eyes and blonde hair.”

“Kick him out, RIIZE only needs 4 members.”

The controversy threatens to derail Anton’s career and potentially damage RIIZE’s image. While some fans are defending Anton, claiming the account might not be his, the negative sentiment online is undeniable. The future of Anton and RIIZE hinges on how they address these serious accusations.

It remains to be seen if Anton will issue a formal apology or if RIIZE will make a statement regarding the situation. With Korean audiences holding immense power in the K-Pop industry, the outcome of this controversy could have a significant impact on Anton’s future and potentially affect RIIZE’s success.
