Yang posted a video on his official account on Aug. 1 with the words "Wash it whiter than snow".
In the released video, he is seen on the stage of the youth and youth camp held at Seoullo Church in Busan on July 30 with members of the CCM performance group K Spirit.
Yang Dong-geun "It was such a gracious time. The T-shirt also expressed his feelings about the event, writing, "A painting of Jesus."
However, controversy erupted when the camp was reportedly hosted by Pastor Son Hyun-bo, who defended former President Yoon Suk Yeol's emergency martial law and has been working against impeachment. Jeon Han-gil, a lecturer supporting Yoon Suk Yeol, also participated in the event.
In response, Yang Dong-geun's agency, Jo Enterment, explained that he was only invited to attend religious events regardless of political intentions, and that he was not close to Pastor Son Hyun-bo and expressed a political position.
Meanwhile, Yang Dong-geun debuted as a child actor at the age of 9 and rose to stardom with the KBS drama `Seoul Ttukbaegi' in 1990. Since then, he has established his position as an actor through popular films such as 'New Nonstop' and 'Do Your Own Way' and recently confirmed his appearance in the Netflix series 'Squid Game' Season 2 and 3, once again impressing his presence on domestic and international fans.
