Rapper BewhY, known for his outspoken nature, posted a short but powerful message on social media on the 25th of last month, stating, "Do not hang the Taegeukgi upside down."

However, just two days prior to this post, on the 23rd of the same month, Kim Min-seok was captured wearing an upside-down Taegeukgi pin during a meeting at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, which sparked intense media scrutiny.

At the time, Choi Eun-seok, Chief Spokesperson for the People Power Party, criticized the incident heavily on Facebook, stating, "The Republic of Korea's flag hanging upside down on the Prime Minister's chest," and added, "It is a national disgrace that such a scene was revealed during an official overseas schedule."

While BewhY did not explicitly name a specific person or event in his post, netizens have reacted by saying, "Given the timing, it is 100% a jab at them; it’s so refreshing."

This is not the first time BewhY has taken such a "refreshing" stance. Having recently appeared on the YouTube channel 'Beautiful Nerd,' he has established himself as a representative "voice of conviction" in the hip-hop scene, including his sharp criticism of the National Election Commission's response to the ballot shortage during the June 3rd local elections.
