1. [+81] Life must be so tiring to try and put meaning behind such meaningless things like htis;;

2. [+20] Everyone in our country is allowed to express their political color

3. [+61] I'm telling you, Kim Heechul loves the color red in general ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+31] So ridiculous. Really trying to pin a political party on him over the color of his slippers? How dumb do you have to be?

5. [+33] I've always liked him but this makes me like him even more

6. [+53] The pink mask is from the brand that he's a model for. He's always used products that he models for like Samsung phones instead of Apple phones. He's also said that his favorite shoes are slippers, which all his fans already know. He wears them frequently, even to film sets, and they're mostly red too. And by the way, he made all sorts of hand signals that day, 🖐🏻✌🏻✊🏻 even 🤟🏻

7. [+35] Honestly, I do think there was a part of him that wore this stuff intentionally ㅋㅋㅋ it's hard to have coincidences line up like this ㅋㅋ I support him though ㅋㅋ

8. [+41] I think people are forcing this controversy. He's always liked the color red, he's always worn slippers, the mask is from a brand he models for... and the mask isn't even red, it's pink. And are people not allowed to put up the peace sign when they take pictures...? As long as he didn't break any voting laws, none of these things should matter, especially not which party he supports in a democratic nation.

9. [+5] Fact is that Kim Heechul just likes the color red. Back in SuJu's dorm, he painted his side of the room with Leeteuk red (and even has a red sofa in his current home). Is he really not allowed to wear any slippers that he wants to go vote? Let's please keep our criticisms within reason... 

10. [+14] It's hilarious to me that people are taking issue with his slippers ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ any Hee-nim fan would know that those are his emotional support slippers ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+6] Even if he meant something political with all this stuff... why is that problematic anyway?

12. [+36] I've always seen him wear those red slippers on broadcast sets though
