ddudungie 3,543 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Article: BTS agency personally visits victims of atomic bombing to apologize for t-shirt controversySource: Yonhap News via Nate1. [+459, -8] They apologized to Korean victims of atomic bombing, not Japanese2. [+415, -10] They apologized to the 'Korea Atomic Bombs Victim Association', so Korean victims only. They didn't give up and succumb to the Japanese...3. [+331, -6] Please read the article before commenting. They apologized to the Korean victims only.4. [+30, -8] I like this, it shows that Big Hit's official apology wasn't for Japan at all ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹5. [+24, -0] Japan's own association for atomic bomb victims did not put down BTS or Big Hit at all. They actually expressed their understanding of the situation and said they had nothing to do with the issue. Apparently they even said that the right-wingers have been using them to encourage anti-Korean sentiment...6. [+22, -0] Antis aren't even reading the articles. The apology was to the Korean victims. The association chairman even said, "Please do not use the agency's apology as an agenda in anti-Korean sentiment"7. [+18, -1] This is so calculated, it's smart and I like it. It's an opportunity to let the world know that Korea was victim to the atomic bombings too.8. [+7, -0] Japan's probably shaking over this ã…‹ Big Hit technically apologized so they can't keep kicking up a fuss over it which is why they hopped over to Twice next https://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2018/11/big-hit-personally-apologizes-to-korea.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KorAm 21 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The A-bombings saved many Koreans and other Asians from massacres by the Japanese army. But Korean slave laborers were killed in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. That’s the reality of it. BH did the right thing to pointedly apologize to the Koreans killed by the bombs.

Wow this basically sums up the whole situation, and not only Japanese right-wingers, this applies to opportunists/antis too. those were the loudest ones, not the victims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris_Tae 1,616 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Why only Korean? Weren't the majority of the victims Japanese? It's easier to visit the Korean A-Bomb victims than the Japanese victims, as they are based within the same country, they've either sent a letter of apology to Japan, or are planning on flying out at a later date They already did. Since when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq 2,225 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Nice to hear. Didn't expect for them to follow through so quickly. So they've already sent a letter and got in contact with Simon wiesenthal centre and now have personally apologized to the atomic bomb victims. Beautiful. Hopefully this is the end to the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm also thankful that this also brings light that there are Korean citizens that also suffered from the tragedy, which not many people know.

In their statement i guess. By apporoaching the korean victim, i hope those japanese media who tried to twisted the history and act like they are the victim and use this to slander bts these past week will shut their mouth now.

If you believe Bighit didn't have to do what's posted in the OP, then...? Bighit is doing way more then most companies would ever. And people are still complaining?

They personally apologized to the Japanese association on the 13th. And the Korean association on the 16th "Our agency visited the A-bomb victims' association of Japan and expressed our apology." [Officials of the Japanese A-bomb Victims Council] "We talked about freedom of expression and such other problems, and we want to [keep people] inform[ed] about the atomic bomb to perserve its history." http://imnews.imbc.com/replay/2018/nwdesk/article/4932351_22663.html?menuid=nwdesk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
