Actor Yoo Ah-in’s opinionated comments have always been an issue.

Actor Yoo Ah-in’s opinionated comments have always been an issue.

Yoo posted a comment about the general election results in his twitter feed, on April 12 after the progressive party side was only able to win 148 seats, far less than expected.

“I wish the progressive party were more progressive. Election isn’t a war. I hope progressiveness doesn’t rot away in the current political state. Don’t even say we lost. Opposition party protagonists aren’t remnants of the defeated. I want to see what the party can do in a progressive way of the results and so forth.”

Ten days earlier, he posted his strong opinion about the age regulation on world-renowned pop star Lady Gaga’s concert in Seoul, prompting a controversy online.

“Were standards and evidence for sexually aggressive content of the concert given to the underage audiences who aren’t able to attend? Are we still teaching sex-education from the 80s?”

The tickets to the concert, which was held at Jamsil Stadium on April 27, were first sold as parental guidance(PG) age of 13 but later on changed to PG-18 on grounds that the Lady Gaga concert had controversial expressions and therefore was not fit for minors.

“There isn’t a place other than twitter where I can express my opinion,” Yoo said. “I wish to be respected as a part of society and cannot ignore such things.”


유아인 "쌍팔년도 성교육이냐" 말한 이유
배우 유아인이 트위터에 게재하는 소신발언은 늘 화제가 됐다. 유아인은 4월 12일 트위터에 총선 결과와 관련한 발언을 해 눈길을 끌었다. 그는 이날 "나는 진보가 더 진보하기를 바란다. 선거가 전쟁인가. 진보가 현실 정치의 전쟁 속에 고여 흥건하게 썩어 가길 바라지 않는다. 패배라고 말하지도 마라. 야당을 지지하고 야당에 속한 후보를 지지한 국민은 패전병이 아니다. 결과에 대해 진보가 가질 수 있는 진보한 자세와 다음의 걸음을 보고 싶다" 고 정치적 성향을 당당히 드러냈다. 앞서 4월 2일에도 그는 팝스타 레이디가가 공연의 19금 조치에 대해 "레이디 가가의 공연에 가지 못하는 10대들에게 유해함과 선정성에 관한 납득 가능한 정확한 기준과 근거가 제시되었나. 모호한 말장난들. 어린것들은 몰라도 된다는 쌍팔년도 성교육이냐"는 글을 남겨 찬반 논란에 불을 지폈다. 이에 대해 유아인은"트위터 말고는 내 의지대로 나를 표현할 수 있는 게 하나도 없기 때문에 트위터에 글을 올린다"며 "사회구성원으로 존중 받고 싶어하기에 관심 있게 보고 그것들을 등지고 살아갈 수 없기 때문에 말하는 것이다"고 자신의 의견을 피력했다
