While many left criticism for Heechul, many have also come to his defense. According to those who have defended him, Heechul wearing red slippers to a voting location is an excessive suspicion, and that Heechul had often worn red.
One netizen, who shared that they are a fan of Heechul, revealed that the idol originally likes the red color, and used to always wear the color during broadcasts and schedules. They also called out the netizens, and stated that the criticism for Heechul have crossed the line.
This is not the first time a celebrity was criticized for wearing a certain color during the elections. In fact, the "Nation's MC" Yoo Jae Suk became entangled in criticism after allegedly showing his support for the Democratic Party by wearing a blue hat, jeans, and shoes during the 2019 presidential elections.
