Source Music release official statement regarding GFRIEND's Sowon contoversy

hoping for the best tbh. she needs to apologize. that’s the least she can do.

i really don't care if she apologies or not.

But ppl need to understand history is taught differently in different countries. And there is a chance ppl might know the story of other country. So give them a benefit of doubt instead of canceling and calling them names.

If that’s the case then it shows that how koreans think about Nazis are different from the west. I have to admit coming from country that had been occupied by the Japanese (with many horrific acts on our people), I would not have the same knee jerk reaction like the west about this issue. If I went to a museum or somewhere with a Japanese imperial mannequin, I’d probably take pictures too. It’s history, it was horrible and you learn from that. But people moved on.

Anyway I’m happy that SouMu is trying to understand the situation. Hope they’ll release an apology soon

Since Korea had very little to do with the Nazis, some Koreans do have some kind of fetish with them, as seen in the little known girl group named Pritz .

Checking the situation is company language for consulting their lawyers and PR people about how best to proceed with minimal damage. If they just simply own up to their mistake, take responsibility to correct, learn, and prevent future occurrence, people will move on - a la the BTS situation.

But people move on? Tell that to the family's of the 6,3 million people that got killed by Nazis or those who somehow survived and still suffer to this day or passed away with horrible memories. The length kpoppies go to defend their idol is making me sick.

Which is a shock to me considering Japans alliance with the Nazis. But I guess they refuse to teach their kids in school about it. Yeah they're a Korean group but korea should probably know about the Japanese x China war
