Naul, 'National Foundation War' poster certified... “two-shot certification”

Pro-partisan netizens criticized singer Naul for leaving a Bible verse on a poster for the documentary film "National Foundation War," which sheds light on the life and politics of the late former President Syngman Rhee.

On the night of the 12th, Naul posted the 'National Foundation War' poster and a picture of the Bible along with the message, "Christ has set us free. Therefore, stand firm in Him and do not be subject again to a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1) King James Hum. Jeong Station,” he wrote. Naul is well known as a devout Christian.

While conservative politicians have been leaving reviews of their recent viewings of 'National Foundation War,' pro-opposition forces have criticized Naul, speculating that he may have joined this trend.

In one internet community, a post titled 'It's certified as a 2-shot (a derogatory term for supporters of the government and ruling party, including President Yoon Seok-yeol)' was posted as a hot topic. The author of this article said, "Is Syngman Rhee such a respectable person that he even left a message about Christianity (a derogatory term for Christianity)? A person with no blood on his head?" Comments on this post included, "I really liked Naul, but my respect for Syngman Rhee is not a matter of personal taste, but of intelligence. I can't help it. Goodbye."

In the political world ahead of the general election in April, there is an atmosphere in which both sides are trying to target voters by promoting symbolic former presidents. Conservatives, such as the People Power Party, are encouraging people to watch 'The War for the Foundation of the Nation', which sheds light on former President Syngman Rhee, while progressives, such as the Democratic Party of Korea, are encouraging people to watch 'Kim Dae-jung on the Road', a documentary film marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late former President Kim Dae-jung. People Power Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon and Democratic Party Representative Lee Jae-myeong publicly viewed ‘National Foundation War’ and ‘Kim Dae-jung on the Road’, respectively.

Meanwhile, pro-Ya netizens also criticized actress Lee Young-ae for donating 50 million won to the 'President Syngman Rhee Memorial Foundation' in September last year. They strongly criticized the news of Lee Young-ae's donation in September of last year, saying, "I knew it was over there, but even the perception of history is very unfortunate."
