TWICE's Chaeyoung wore a MAGA QAnon Trump supporter tank top. Is she going to get cancelled?

Nah.

They're the pizza gate loonies right? I Think it's just stylist seeing an American flag and that was it, nothing deeper to get into than that.

girlie the us's politics ain't as relevant as yall think it is lol i bet most of these idols can't even recall the specific campaigning quirks of presidential candidates in their own country, let alone knowing and recognising some obscure symbols of an obscure online community that's mostly nugu to people outside the us on some random tshirt they picked up from a random vendor somewhere

stop trivialising political issues and using them as an excuse to drag idols, yall ain't slick and just come off as dumb with the bait threads fyi

I usually roll my eyes at "costume screw ups" like most cultural appropriation things and swear words on shirts in kpop, but nah someone in the chain between acquiring that shirt and putting it on Chaeyoung f*cked up badly

Q is a symbol many, many evil things. White supremacy, homophobia, violent terrorist rhetoric and just purely evil, horrible stuff that has destroyed families and relationships (and not just in the US, Q nonsense is all over Australia and NZ).

I don't blame Chaeyoung in this, but surely someone at JYP should have caught this?

You ifans talk about how idols should be educated but then get upset when your biases get educated. As other have pointed out here, "they had no idea" that was a hate symbol of the most dangerous white supremacist hate group in existence today. So now go to Bubble, or IG or wherever people can send a message to Chaeyoung and inform her about it if you are her fan.

who's stopping you from sending her a message if you want? idc about that; what i was referring to is your thread asking "is she going to get cancelled" when the answer is obviously no and she herself is obviously oblivious (hah) to the shirt's symbol's meaning. that's the sign of a dumb bait thread lol if you want to throw bait at least try to mark it up as something more intelligent and less low effort

Obviously the US is not the "center of the world", but they literally have their Army stationed in Korea and are participating in the major war occurring right now, Russia vs Ukraine, which Koreans were told to contribute in, and American culture and politics has HUGE influence in Korean society and even idol business. Why do you think kpop idols were banned from China? Because of THAAD and that CAME FROM THE U.S.

There was a small Q-anon movement in South Korea for a bit, bunch of oldies mainly getting caught up in it all

Also infected Japan during Covid and there was some small street protests with Q elements.

The main guy behind the start of Q didn't even live in the US

A few random messages won't work. It has to be an effort of many fans. How do you think Lisa apologized for her CA? It took many months of her fans talking about it and eventually she had to come clean finally when asked about it. So the thread title is just a question, it's NOT saying she should get cancelled.

We all know how getting idols educated works, let's not act cute here.

again, idgas about what yall do in your spare time to “educate” your idols or whatever, i’ve already explained why your thread comes off the way it did in plain details in my post above, and none of what you said negated or even touched my point lol, so carry on

I wonder how many idols that wore the AC/DC shirt over the years even know that it’s a rock group

No, it's the first time I've heard of it It is certainly not as big as neonazis

It definitely isn't Chaeyoung's fault but maybe the styling team should be a bit more careful because Twice is targeting the US market.

Whoa! I will give her the benefit of the doubt. I honestly believe she's not well read about the topic of MAGA QAnon or anything US politics because if she has a little inkling of it, she never would have allowed that on her. The stylists who put this together were the ones to blame.
