Hold up, why a lots of knetz throwing hate at Sakura and Chaewon?

I don't really active in social media when Iz*one were still active even I'm a fans and didn't really up to date to any of their controversy. So, I was really shocked to see how knetz reacted to Sakura and Chaewon news and they received a lot of hate. Even Chaewon getting hate and called as rigged members when I've actually didn't really face this. And Sakura about the right wing issues that I don't even know existed, so please someone enlighten me about this. I thought they only received hate from fans of GFriend, but this too? Like give them some fresh air first, they just out from the basement 😭

But overall, tf??

Like someone please enlighten me about Sakura one

Quote from Tenken101

Pann girls have ALWAYS been making up stories about Sakura and hating on her, ever since she showed up in Produce48 and started getting popular. It makes them all kinds of angry imagining a girl from AKB/Japan being successful in Korea. It's just another example of knetz xenophobia at work. Did you know? They legit made up a story of Sakura being a Right Winger because of wearing a Rising Sun patch, except that they used a picture of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AKB GIRL as proof, hoping that nobody would notice that it wasn't Sakura since "hurr durr all Japanese girls look the same anywyas".

PROOF

Here's a Korean article about the "controversy":

Here's a link of the actual performance where the picture came from (the girl is Yokoyama Yui):

Thank you for the explanation. I'm trying to search it on google yet seeing only about akb48 being accused as right winger because of that one show they have done. That's why I'm quite confused why they inserting Sakura in there.

hey, look, it's just dumb people being dumb people.

op i'm guessing you're a wizone/sakura+chaewon fan, so here's what you do: keep supporting your faves 1000%, loving and supporting them all the way. once you block out what idiots on the internet with too much free time say, you'll find that it's a lot more fun. your faves are YOUR faves, it doesn't matter if someone else shits on them incessantly, you love them, and you'll always root for them!

also a tip? a lot of these "knetz" reactions are not what kfans think, they're taken from forums where trolls like to shit on everyone. most fans are just chill, supporting their faves.

obv, sakura and chaewon don't deserve any hate. i'm no wizone, but i'm glad they're debuting in a new girl group and doing what they want to do. sakura chaewon fighting!
