On March 21st KST, TWICE's Chaeyoung uploaded a photo of herself on her Instagram account. The idol ended up receiving backlash after fans notice that she was wearing what appears to be a shirt with a swastika symbol, which is recognized for its appropriation by the Nazi Party. Before that, fans were already divided after she was spotted a Q-anon shirt in a photo posted by Tzuyu.
Chaeyoung immediately deleted the photo and shared a sincere apology through her official Instagram account. Meanwhile, Tzuyu has deleted the photo with Chaeyoung.
Chaeyoung's apology instantly became a hot topic among Korean netizens, who commented:
- It seems like the feedback was quick. The apology was clean and without excuses.
- I hope foreigners will be this quick to apologize when they're called out for wearing the rising sun flag too.
- Don't be discouraged, Chaeyoung.
- Well, to be honest, Koreans must have worn that, not because they were nazis, but because they were careless.
- Seeing overseas guys wearing the Rising Sun Flag go over without apologizing makes me even more angry..
- The quick response is good.
- Just be careful in the future.
- She gave feedback right away and wrote an apology neatly.
- Westerners should be careful of the rising sun flag too.
- If you want worldwide popularity, beware of this in the future.
- I hope you repay us with good music.
- You did a good job without making excuses and wrote an apology neatly. Thankfully, you just have to recognize your mistake and be careful.
- It's fine if you apologized, fighting in the future!
