Twice's Chaeyoung now wears a shirt with a swastika...

I guess she doesn't know

but kpop idols need to do some research before they start wearing t-shirts they find cool

Quote from SooYoung

Well the swastika is pretty well know

And considering the scandal in which Sowon from Gfriend got involved because of this or even BTS scandal about it etc...

I mean when so many people around you get involve in this type of controversy for years you should be aware of it now

yeah I know but I think K-idols in general are not really well educated or aware about other countries history bc they keep making the same mistakes.

We love a queen that doesn't let symbols rule over her.

When I saw the title of the thread, I was thinking "It's probably going to be a non-nazi one", but... well, doesn't seem to be the case with this one...

swastika oh boy...

Chae why oh why?

I get that the reverted one is a sign used in temples in Japan but this one especially with the way it's turned a bit to the side is a Nazi one

She definitely doesn’t need to get cancelled, but she definitely shouldn’t purposefully wear the nazi swastika if she’s aware of its symbolism, because it has one meaning?

American’s are just taught that the Rising Sun is a flag of japan, because technically it was, but to Koreans and many Chinese people it means their grandparents being r*ped, abducted etc.

Twice is promoting in the west so they def cant upset it.

Damn

Every hardcore band you loved in the '80s and beyond, from Black Flag to Minutemen to Fugazi, had one unfortunate thing in common: Nazi skinheads occasionally stormed their concerts, stomped their fans, gave Hitler salutes in lieu of applauding, and generally turned a communal experience into one full of hatred and conflict. Punk rockers had flirted with fascist imagery for shock value, with the Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux wearing swastikas in public, but, as early San Francisco scenester Howie Klein, later president of Reprise Records, recalls: “Suddenly, you had people who were part of the scene who didn’t understand ‘fascist bad.’”

Punk rockers in the 70's and 80's did it to piss off the people in politics, the politicians were people that had served or been around WW2.

It was a way a stupid way that those white privileged bands to piss off old people, I guess it would be like wearing a North Korea flag to piss off old people in South Korea.

A dumb thing to do for sure.

"It was always very much an anti-mums-and-dads thing," Siouxsie told Jon Savage in his book, England's Dreaming. "We hated older people. Not across the board, but generally the suburban thing, always harping on about Hitler, and, 'We showed him,' and that smug pride. It was a way of saying, 'Well, I think Hitler was very good, actually'; a way of watching someone like that go completely red-faced."

A costume, hat and even a small badge can make an artist stand out, and sometimes they were them for reasons you wouldn't expect...

Many of those punk bands would get cancelled today.

Either her head is in the clouds or she KNOWS what she is doing with all this Trump stuff in her tank top and now an obvious Nazi symbol. Considering she's into 'symbology' I'm considering the latter. I wonder if the 'individual' she is hanging out with is influencing her. I TOLD her fans they had to educate her.

Yawn.

Nah, there's no excuse. Everyone and their mama knows what a swatstika is, and she chose to wear this shirt IN THE UNITED STATES, while on a personal schedule. She can catch all the smoke for making what is a truly heinous decision, especially in this political climate, regardless of what she did or didn't intend.

Bye, girl. Good luck promoting in America now.

I mean you'd think some of it would leak through considering Japanese rule over Korea ended because of WW2 and for sure they all seem to know alot about that part of their history, just seems weird they wouldn't go into the HOW and WHY Japanese rule ended when they clearly teach alot about what happened to them during it.

Negative publicity is still a publicity

Quote from tetetete

oh i have nothing to add to the topic just sharing the history lesson

time and place, honestly.

Don't forget all those idols all basically dropped school at 14, they are not exactly scholars, they are almost all mostly ignorant of these things

I think she just bought a Sex Pistols shirt that she found nice, I'm having huge doubts about Chaeyoung being an anti semitic pro-conspiracy kpop singer

She'll delete the post anyway

Even if she bought it for the band, that was not a smart choice.

Imagine if the stylist dressed her up in that Q-anon shirt a week ago when she was on american national TV

damn, I know idols maybe not be educated on those matters, but they really don't have any social media manager to check before publishing those posts?

.... there is a reason why they are idols

They really need like social media ppl or just people aware of this stuff cuz 😭

Well well well

Then you have all those stans whining cause their faves dont have access to their instas :'((((

The companies are royally cucked nowadays, they cannot win, they just have to focus on damage control instead of prevention

Chaeyoung need stop buy rare outfits ...or just stop liked old music...many singers were popular in the years 50, 70 or 80 re problematic as hell...

I hope she know the nazi symbol in school..many kpop stans act ignorant...

Quote from ThePhantomThief

And...

She was wearing it a few weeks ago

Ah sh.t i think she is fan of this guy...

she has deleted her posts but she need apologize now if she know...

Quote from ladidaladidadida

She was styled in this shirt, and I'm guessing the stylists had no idea what it signifies. Sort of big news in the states but probably virtually unknown in East Asia.

I know her Sid Vicious t-shirt is celebrating Sid and not the Nazi symbol. I'm still cringing. I'll chalk it up to her naivete.

Display Spoiler

The lower back tattoo is, woof, grotesque. She is really rebelling against the squeaky clean cute KPOP image, eh? You know, I don't get it but, like, I get it. Who knows how many of us would handle being inside that pressure cooker?

Actually this is nazi symbol on her shirt

i dont know ton buddist sign...but i found that

I hope just she can apologize

swastika also is symbol of hinduism and represents good in sanskrit vedic texts

Quote from ladidaladidadida

I understand it's the Nazi symbol on her t-shirt. I didn't deny that. I meant that her wearing that shirt celebrates Sid Vicious as opposed to Nazism. HOWEVER, it still makes me cringe. But I think she's just naive, to be honest.

Yes i think tho,she is still into in the music of this singer ..

Im sure she want being rebel and trying New version of herself for discover her way
