ì†Œìœ â™¥ 414 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I actually wanted to make this thread a long time ago but kinda forgot about it but since people are so offended with Zico wearing a confederate flag on his sleeves, lets talk about idols who love to wear Nazi Symbols and Uniforms.So many of you may (should!) know about the various Nazi Symbols (swastika, ss-symbols etc.). A really well known designer brand is Boy London. Here is what this brand is really about. The Logo is the NSDAP-Parteiadler without the swastika.And here are some of the idol who love to wear this nazi symbol.SNSD - SoohyunJay Park VixxThe winners here? Big Bang (Yas spread the love for the Nazis <333333)But let's take it a step further, the real winner here is the person who doesn't even need Boy London, but proudly wears the Reichsadler as a whole (Yes even with the skull!!!).RapmonsterBonus Sooyoung but I heard that SM actually did something about it?

YNRA 1,082 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 my bias wears boy london all the time. to be fair, i didnt even notice that the eagle was from nazi germany until someone on the internet said it and we were bombarded with wwII crap in history class for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittlePinky82 1,303 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 When I first saw that brand I knew right away. I've had family fight and die in WW2 fighting Nazi's so yeah I'm well acquainted with it. I was so creeped out. Like wtf is this brand thinking? Why are people wearing it? Facepalm.

9 and 1/2 weeks with KK 427 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 it is kind of disgusting (at least for me) that some designer wanted to promote his clothes under this logo tbh even if it's not complete nazi logo and also kind of sad when i see ppl wearing them, especially stars because they promote that clothes this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikaPikachu 5,572 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Fans only make a fuss when someone else does something problematic but when their faves do it, they play deaf, dumb and blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetweenYourThighs 2,958 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Fact is some people including the Korean people that we so proudly like to target when stuff like this does happen, don't know crap about history in general, at least not what everyone seems to be all Hush-Hush about, like the Southern Cross and so on. And no, I'm not trying to defend anyone for that matter but as stated it's fact. Kind of want to know why Boy London is an up and running business with that sort of image? And moreso, it's not all about brands and fashion that there's to be questioned when it comes to Zico. I can tolerate ignorance to an extent, but not when you're aware of what your lyrics depict in your music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suumero 304 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Jay Park is pretty dumb though, he prolly doesn't know what it means and just thinks it's another cool design on a snapback, since he literally owns a gazillion of them. (yeah, another oppa didn't mean it~ post oop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never ever 273 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I love the term "problematic". Like people want to say something is bad, but that would be such a banal and pointless statement that they stop and instead try to cast this veil of vague profoundity over the whole thing by saying it's "problematic".

MK15 2,108 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 We study WW2 a lot in school in my country but I'm pretty sure most people (if not all) would have never guessed the eagle from Boy London was stolen from a Nazi symbol (me included). It doesn't make it okay but no one wears Boy London anymore anyway so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snsdJM 15,203 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Do the idols love to wear it or do the coordi noones love to put it on them? because most of these outfit you are using as example are from photoshoot or performance in which for the most part they dont pick their outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigo 16,433 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Most people even here in the states don't know where the symbol came from so saying wearing it is "spreading the nazi love" is erroneous and needlessly antagonist. Some people do, and get high off of being edgy~ by wearing it. But most people are just sheep following trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccynd 912 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 You gotta admit, the Nazi symbol and Nazi uniforms(especially the SS Officer)were designed beautifully. So it should be no wonder why people would wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noon 20,968 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 why are people attacking the idols (and not just idols bc i looked it up and apparently rihanna has worn/sponsored it too) when people should be attacking the company that appropriated that symbol and i happily selling the merchandise seriously, up until now i didn't even know that was a nazi eagle, so im not even going to get mad on that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ì†Œìœ â™¥ 414 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 uhmmmmmmmmmm Yes? Do the idols love to wear it or do the coordi noones love to put it on them? because most of these outfit you are using as example are from photoshoot or performance in which for the most part they dont pick their outfit Does it even matter? OP I don't get your point. My point is that half of Kpop idols did wear a nazi symbol but nobody cares about it, where are the 12+ bashing those artist like it usually happens?

Pretty sure most everyone here (incl. me) doesn't know they're a nazi symbol before this too, though. If we don't know, doubt that the idols know too.
