After Eric Nam's support message for Israel, angry pro-Palestinian fans have boycotted him. Eric Nam's concert in Malaysia has been canceled, maybe as an aftermath. Eric Nam posted a statement asserting that he advocates non-violence, but it is too late to relieve some people's wrath. Influencers should wisely deal with their positions, especially if their target market covers various ethnic, religious, and ideological backgrounds.
Dive Studios, which Eric Nam founded also got investigated by X users (Twitterians).
They found out that the company was funded by a pro-Israel investor.
The company even signed a petition for Israel.
Large portion of K-pop fandom is Muslim in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, and Malaysia, so definitely they have a sense of helping their brother Muslim countries/people.
Although those countries have not shown their official announcement, I can feel the citizen's sentiments.
