Well-Known Male Celebrity’s Father Linked to Israeli Arms Allegations
NCT’s YangYang is facing controversy over his family business allegedly supplying Israeli weapons.
The controversy began when an OP claimed idols were getting heat for supporting boycotted brands amid the Gaza conflict, but YangYang’s family runs an Israeli defense system. The OP revealed YangYang’s father is Jim Liu, CEO of ADLINK, a computer manufacturer.
“Icb all this while kpop idols got paraded for consuming boycott brands while an idol whose family business runs the Israeli defence system was casually among us hidden”

Screenshots shared online show ADLINK’s products being used in Israeli tanks and U.S. missile systems:
“ADLINK’s products have been integrated into Israeli tanks and U.S. missile systems, enhancing their targeting accuracy and operational performance. These systems rely on ADLINK’s embedded computers to process battlefield data in real time, enabling rapid response and precision strikes.”
The post gained traction on Reddit, where fans responded with harassment against those discussing the issue. Some fans argue the connection explains YangYang’s privileged background.
The news shocked many in the K-pop community.
