G-Dragon has hinted at his feelings about President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration, leaving likes on social media posts that criticize the decision.

Poet Ha Sang Wook shared lines from his poetry collection, "Lying on the Bed Without Turning Off the Light" with viewers in response to South Korea's current events.

With the poem, Sang Wook urged followers to "Just take care of yourself, please turn off."

Despite the post lacking a targeted subject, many speculated that the poet's intention was thinly veiled criticism of President Yoon following his martial law declaration.

While the Big Bang leader too has not come forth with a direct opinion on the martial law decision, netizens have speculated that his likes might be an indirect co-sign. Many believe G-Dragon's likes reflect his agreement with Wook's alleged criticism.

The post has seen significant numbers of approval from Korean viewers and has amassed over 13,000 likes within 13 hours of being uploaded.

President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law on December 3 with a stated goal to eliminate "anti-state" forces, a move last made in 1980 during a nationwide uprising led by students and labor unions, but rescinded it just six hours later.
