[allkpop] A Japanese politician attacks TWICE for Dahyun's comfort women shirt

[My Everything]

 

 

Japanese politician is attacking TWICE for a shirt that Dahyun wore.

 

On November 13, Japanese politician Onodera Masaru shared a past airport photo of Dahyun from September 2017. The idol star is captured in a shirt supporting comfort women victims.

 

'Comfort women' refers to Korean women who were forced into sex slavery for the Japanese soldiers during World War II.

 

Onodera Masaru tweeted, "BTS is not going on NHK's 'KÅhaku Uta Gassen.' This is good news but there's another bad incident. This is a 'comfort women' shirt. The profit from the shirt is being inappropriately used for Korea's 'comfort women' movement. I have reported the issue to NHK."

The Japanese politician's tweet gained over 15K retweets as of this writing. Right-wing Japanese netizens are demanding TWICE to be removed from 'KÅhaku Uta Gassen' lineup.

 

On the other hand, Korean netizens are reacting with anger to the politician's tweet. Comments stated, "Why are they tackling this now? This is nonsense," "They don't even have the right to be mad. Korean women are the victims," "Japan just needs to stop," "They're going too far now. Don't mess with the comfort women victims."

 

Meanwhile, NHK recently confirmed TWICE attendance at this year's 'KÅhaku Uta Gassen.' The announcement has upset right-wing Japanese netizens.

ok now this is non-sense

 

there's nothing wrong about supporting rape victims, in fact they need all the support , Dahyun is amazing

[Ddeulgi]

i dont get what they're trying to do

[Asuka16]

I cant take it seriously they really getting offended about a shirt which comforts women they raped This is a f*cking joke

[al qaeda]

??? Dahyun's showing support for victims who went through atrocious experiences. Honestly, this is getting more and more pathetic. Every little thing has become an issue now. 

[IDLE]

Dahyun is awesome omg. Will look into her

[kissxkiss_baby]

I understand that this is a sensitive issue but why are tensions between South Korea and Japan so high especially if the Japanese can get along with America so well?

[Deviandrepepe]

There's nothing wrong with that shirt. 

[AStan]

What a joke...

[classiq]

There's nothing wrong with the shirt smh

 

Last week they were attacking V for wearing the comfort women bracelet. They're doing too much

[Franny]

All BTS members used Marymond shirts and phone cases at some point. Japanese media nitpicked it and called it "Anti-Japanese".

Just how? Being pro-Korean doesn't mean you're anti-Japanese. They're supporting sex slaves, victims of war. This just proves their denial of war crimes. 

[jjaetaes]

dude can literally f* off. 

[crazy_diamond]

Not surprised. They even brought up V wearing a shirt from "I marymond you" on a talk show when all the mess happened as a "receipt". 

 

Right wingers are doing the most 

[WonderTwice]

it doesnt stop there they're trying to say that TWICE also used the atomic bomb because of the mushroom cloud around 2:09

i'm honestly disgusted lol 

it was from the gamro chicken CF in 2016 

 

 

 

I thought it was just about the bomb shirt that they were upset now i'm starting to realize it is about politics 

[IDLE]

did this hit japan? i see no outrage

[swiftswitchsurf]

I understand that this is a sensitive issue but why are tensions between South Korea and Japan so high especially if the Japanese can get along with America so well?

 

Japan and America's issue aren't as blood drenched and glossed over as Japan and Korea's.

 

Imagine if Germany never owned up to all the fuckery it did to Poland.

[B612]

It's not even comparable: wearing a shirt with atomic bomb print that killed and hurt innocent people vs wearing a shirt supporting comfort women victims 

[WonderTwice]

did this hit japan? i see no outrage

Wow. They're reaching for a reason to hate. It's ridiculous

Definitely some politics foolery in the background

[Mika Chan]

The right wing Japanese underneath that tweet..yikes

[honeyhoney]

I could be wrong, This seems like they're just trying to find reasons to be mad.

[swiftswitchsurf]

It's not even comparable: wearing a shirt with atomic bomb print that killed and hurt innocent people vs wearing a shirt supporting comfort women victims 

Japan doesn't want anybody bringing up Comfort Women

 

Just like they don't want anybody bringing up Nanking
