Who will throw a stone at Karina?

Karina posted a selfie taken in Japan on her personal account on the 27th. 'Light' was done, but the controversy surrounding it continues. Karina's outfit in the picture is the problem. Karina wore a white dress with a black jumper. The black jumper has a red pattern and the number 2 is written large in red. He even left a 'Rose' emoji.
Netizens speculate that the 'Rose' emoticon means the June 3 presidential election, and the red '2' means the symbol No. 2. Suspicions grew because the post was also posted shortly after the end of the third candidate debate for the 21st presidential election. Since then, Karina's jumpers have been sold out in online shopping malls.
Naturally, the No. 2 supporter defended Karina while others expressed disappointment with her.
The controversy can be divided into two main categories. This is the case where Karina posted a picture without much meaning ▶ and ▶ actually posted it to support No. 2.
If you post it without much meaning, so if you like the picture and want to share it with your fans, it's not a controversial issue like this. Only the timing sensitivity remains.
If you actually posted it to support No. 2, it goes back to the question of 'Is a celebrity a public figure?' However, even this is only an individual's tendency and not a matter for others to argue about. Like the statement released by fans, freedom of political expression is the basis of a democratic society and various interpretations and expressions can coexist. With celebrities openly campaigning, it is their freedom to show their tendencies. If you don't like this tendency, the last thing you can do is collect 'fansim'. More than that, it's over the top.
Of course, the timing is unfortunate. It is the result of carelessness to post such a photograph, which could be controversial, especially at a time when celebrities' every move is open to the public these days and those trying to find 'trick" are turning their eyes on it. But this is a small mistake that a person can make, no less.
