Ryu Jun Yeol’s Golf Outing Sparks Controversy: Greenpeace Ambassador or Hypocrite?
“Wow, I want to throw up,” says a netizen, reflecting the public sentiment towards actor Ryu Jun Yeol’s recent actions.
On April 10, Ryu Jun Yeol, a controversial movie star, made a public appearance that has reignited criticism. The actor participated in the Par 3 Contest at the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, United States. Not as a spectator, but as a caddie for professional golfer Kim Joo Hyung.
The backlash stems from Ryu Jun Yeol’s role as an ambassador for Greenpeace, a climate change organization. Golf courses have long been under fire for their environmental impact. According to Fluence Corp, golf courses use approximately 200 million gallons of water a year. Audubon International has criticized golf’s use of chemicals, water, and other resources for threatening the quality of our environment.
Netizens have reacted with disgust to Ryu Jun Yeol’s participation in the golf event. Many are calling for the actor to step down from his Greenpeace ambassadorship. Comments range from “We shouldn’t let people like him make money, sigh” to “Greenpeace should change its name to Greendisaster. I hate them”.

Critics argue that Ryu Jun Yeol is living a double life, trying to balance his love for golf with his role as a climate change ambassador. “I mean, why doesn’t he just live as an avid golfer? Why is he trying to do both (save the planet and golf)?” one netizen asked.
This incident has led many to question Ryu Jun Yeol’s sincerity and commitment to the cause of climate change. As one netizen put it, “His facade is falling apart”. Whether this controversy will affect Ryu Jun Yeol’s career or his standing with Greenpeace remains to be seen.
