Of course it's not going to be a 1 to 1 situation but it's more about the reaction of knetz regarding someone not knowing one country/culture. Tiffany was public enemy number 1 while knetz for now seem to not even care or understand what the issue is with Sowon and ww2/Nazis.
Very likely Tiffany didn't know about the ssun regardless of how long she lived and promoted there. Maybe she should've known but what's done is done. Expecting someone to know isn't the same as them actually knowing.
If it's expected that Tiffany must know then you could easily argue that since ww2 was such a defining era of history affecting the whole world (many colonies broke away, proxy wars were fought in Africa and middle east, new countries formed etc) then Sowon too should've known something about ww2. Korea itself was directly impacted by the events of ww2 as they and other eastern countries were liberated from Japan, allied with the Nazis, during ww2 when America nuked them thus ending Japan empire. So with that maybe Sowon should've known what the mannequin was all about since her county was affected by it right? See the problem, if you think someone should know something then you can easily flip it around and assume they in turn must know about something else.
Don't know what happened with Usher.
Like I said you can't expect everyone to know all things even in your own culture. If that was the case then a shit ton of people would be on the chopping block for things that "should" be common knowledge.
its not really comparable at all is the point lmao. most koreans are aware of what the rising flag looks like and aware of what it means. most people would not be able to identify that the mannequin was dressed in ww2 clothing. The koreans view what tiffany did as worse as i said because she is korean and they expect her to be able to identify the flag just how they shammed aoa group members when they couldnt identify the well known korean figures. The two situations just arent comparable. here is the nbuzz of korean comments about it as you can see its far less tame compared to backlash tffany got for clear reasons.

Honestly, most of Koreans who don't know anything about world history would walk past that without knowing who that was. I think that as a public figure, she was careless and should receive fair criticism, apologize and if she doesn't act like this again, it should be fine. Let's stop here.. But I'm afraid that these losers will try to relieve their stress on her and curse her to death
Not calling for hate on Sowon, just want to point something out regarding knetz.
It's ironic how knetz are so nonchalant with this line of of thinking yet had no problem proactively trying to get Tiffany exiled, killed and raped for her scandal. Tiffany grew up in America and even from debut up until a few years later was maybe an intermediate level Korean speaker which people made fun of and had a noticeabley more American style personality, in all likelihood she like most raised in the west didn't know about rising rise, especially as she was in Japan at the time were it's more common/accepted. Compounded further as Snapchat itself had it as a default filter showing the company too knew nothing of it. All in all it was obviously a mistake because she didn't know and corrected herself immediately. Yet that didn't stop knetz going totally mental on her for not knowing
Now when it's another case of someone possibly not knowing about history anyone that gets offended is a labelled loser planning death threats (and looking through things like Twitter and Reddit doesn't seem she's get death threats, more the usual cancelling) .....Hmmm that's totally not how Koreans reacted with Tiffany right? The hypocrisy is laughable.
not really the same situation as you stated even though tiffany grew up in America she is korean and has lived in korea and promoted there for sometime now. Also it happened on national liberation day. a better comparison would be when usher wore a shirt with the rising sun flag on it.

lol should have gotten a 100 miss clicked on the produce 48 question
95/100 -
such a overblown controversy 90% of the world would not have recognized that was a german ww2 uniform and as for the kitler joke things like that are used all the time. grammer nazi, femanazi, ect. like people act like sinb is complementing her by callling her kitler. its a jokingly insult between friends.

so how many people who have a problem with this have a problem with crash landing on you??? that was a drama about falling in love with a north korean solider and others claim to glamourize north korean. Do people in this thread also find crash landing on you disrespectful and should the creators apologize for creating it?
