    1. I’m filing a protest right now, but I hope people protest instead of swearing at Sakura


    2. No, why did the Chinese celebrate a Japanese idol’s birthday in Korea?


    3. I thought it was a Japanese fandom, but what the hell are the Chinese doing?


    4. That’s why I don’t want Japanese or Chinese to debut as idols in Korea


    5. Chinese fans are stupid, no matter how stupid you are, you shouldn’t do it… Unless you’re an anti… I really hate Chinese people


    6. F*ck, crazy ba$tards


    7. What are Sakura’s Korean fans doing? If she’s going to promote in Korea, shouldn’t they take it down?


    8. Are they crazy? They should have hung it in Japan, why did they hang it in Korea?


    9. Was it created by a Chinese fandom? They are disgusting;


    10. Don’t the Chinese also hate the Rising Sun flag? What the hell did they do?

    So the picture on the bottom left is the flag of the imperial JPN during WW2.

    Also during the occupation of SK. When they would take slaves from SK(mostly women) and have them act as service women for their troops.

    I'm sure I don't have to explain what service women means.


    The fact that did was done by a Chinese fandom, who has shit to do with JPN and SK,

    makes me to think this was a shit act.

    Ironically, China has their own comfort women in regards to the Japanese occupation so this level of trolling they think they’re doing is some low IQ type nonsense. They also don’t think highly of Japan’s rising sun military flag.

    Netizens baffled by Chinese IZ*ONE fans' birthday ad for Sakura on Korean subway with Japanese imperial design

    The ad has since been edited and replaced


    Article: "They must be crazy"... IZ*ONE Sakura's rising sun subway ad installed on Independence Movement Day


    Source: Money Today via Naver


    1. [+1,989, -31] Who's the company that even accepted a design like this? To put up on Independence Movement Day?

    2. [+808, -6] How broken are the heads of the Chinese that they've already forgotten the Nanjing Massacre...

    3. [+523, -21] I bet the Chinese are just trying to instigate negative Japanese Korean sentiment, tsk tsk

    4. [+409, -4] Laughable that the Chinese fans are using the rising sun design after suffering the Nanjing Massacre, and doubly laughable that Korean companies are accepting such designs to be put up on the subway. Both are disgusting.

    5. [+278, -23] Agencies really need to stop picking Chinese and Japanese idols!

    6. [+111, -0] Whoever sold this subway ad space is in the most wrong ㅋㅋㅋ if they never put it up, this never would've been controversial, but they're willing to sell space for whatever the cost ㅋㅋ

    7. [+57, -2] Whoever allowed this should be suspended

    8. [+56, -1] The irony of "Chinese" fans putting up a subway ad for a "Japanese" idol in "Korea" on the day of Korea's celebration of Independence Movement Day

    9. [+56, -1] The subway ad company that allowed this is more problematic. They shouldn't be allowed to just put this stuff up as long as someone pays.

    10. [+15, -0] How dumb of the Chinese fans to put up a birthday ad for a Japanese idol in not their own country but in Korea ㅋㅋㅋ with a rising sun flag design ㅋㅋㅋ and let's not forget to blame the Korean ad company that allowed this, too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    they could've chosen every other design on the planet, why exactly the one that looks like the rising sun??? and on independence movement day????


    i'm glad knetz are not throwing rocks directly at sakura but that's really bad for her image and the image of other Chinese and Japanese idols considering the amount of xenophobia already reigning among the koreans. it looks more like a set-up than a celebration

    Anybody who actually knows anything about world history and especifically WWII would know that the Chinese have much more right to complain about Japan than Koreans, not only that but Chinese in recent years have become a somewhat meme for saying that something is "Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people" for simply meeting the Dalai Lama or suggesting that Taiwan is a country. And yet even the very nationalistic Chinese government has done military reviews in Chinese ports between the China's navy and the Japanese flying this flag with no complaints


    If the Chinese people themselves who made this billboard don't see anything wrong, what makes these people think that they have more right to complain?

    If the fandom edited and replaced it i take it they were just clueless and didnt realise what it meant. If they did it to troll or upset people they would have let it say as is.
