Park Geun-hye sympathizers bash Kim Yoo-jung
“Parksamo,” a public online community made up of South Korea President Park Geun-hye sympathizers, bashed actress Kim Yoo-jung for her “insult” toward Park, and pledged to stage a boycott against products she is modeling for.
“Kim‘s political comment is intolerable,” read a post on Tuesday. “As a student, she is little aware of political issues, and she dares to insult the president.”

This came weeks after Kim made an Instagram post about the anti-Park rally that took place on Nov. 19.
“Don’t ever fall down. Stay strong. If you stumble, you can stand up again. Am I right?” the post read.
The Tuesday post on Parksamo saw Kim’s remark as an “insult to the President” and responded with: “Don't ever fall down on your career path as an actress.”
Another post on Wednesday demanded support to track Kim‘s “anti-Park” remarks online.
Kim, who earned worldwide spotlight with her last work "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds," has uploaded two Instagram posts that support the anti-Park protest, on Nov. 12 and 19.
For the past five Saturdays, protesters have taken to the streets across the nation to demand President Park Geun-hye resign. The number of protesters reached 1.9 million nationwide last Saturday. Organizers of the protest are gearing up for a sixth anti-Park rally on Saturday.
Since evidence surfaced in late October that President Park let her longtime friend Choi Soon-sil meddle in state affairs, calls for her to step down have been growing across the nation.
