1. [+603, -89] The Emperor was a symbolic representation of the war crimes. Does she really want to confess her feelings on his abdication while working in Korea? It hasn't even been that long since the 100th anniversary of the independence movement. This Jap needs to go home.

 

2. [+267, -32] I think it was careless of her to post this but what I'm more surprised about is how her agency is handling this. They are deleting comments of criticism in live time instead of deleting the post itself. It seems like they're trying to keep Japan happy.

 

3. [+251, -29] Just proves that in the end, they can live in Korea and make money here but their own country will be their priority. And to think that JYP is going through with their all-Japanese girl group... why Japan?

 

4. [+75, -11] Ah seriously ã…¡ã…¡ Please stop casting Japanese members ã…¡ã…¡ Do we really not have any other trainees? Let's just keep our advancements to the US ã…¡ã…¡ K-Pop is past the point of considering being successful in Japan any feat ã…¡ã…¡ Why do we keep using members from a controversial, unapologetic country and causing controversies like this?

 

5. [+68, -7] Did she have to post this on her official Korean account...? The Korean members were too scared of the Japanese to even post anything on 3.1 Independence day, the least she could do is be considerate of the fact that she's working in Korea right now... What does this make her Korean members?

 

6. [+65, -7] Go live in Japan if you're so melancholic over it

 

7. [+55, -8] Sana has both Korean and Japanese accounts, it's funny that she wrote this on her Korean account. I don't think reactions would be this bad if she had written it on her Japanese account. The majority of her Korean fans can't read Japanese so why did she post in Japanese on her Korean account...

 

8. [+46, -6] And will there still be stupid fans left for her after this? Twice's male fans make up 80% of their fan base, let's see how they handle this.

 

9. [+40, -4] And yet Park Jin Young is still going through with an all-Japanese girl group...

 

10. [+33, -5] What was the point in posting this on SNS... when she's making her money in Korea... sigh, just keep it to yourself.

1. [+9,728, -1,803] This Japanese needs to at least be considerate of the fact that she's making her money in Korea

 

2. [+4,984, -714] Go back to Japan then..

 

3. [+4,229, -670] Okay, farewell~ I'll be skipping you from now on

 

4. [+4,120, -652] Jap

 

5. [+3,397, -252] Our Korean idols are being called Chosenjin (Monsta X's Jooheon) and even fellow member Dahyun was blatantly criticized by Japanese politicians for wearing a Marymond hat. I tried to be understanding about Twice never posting anything on Korean holidays commemorating our independence since they're a multinational group but this is just wrong ã…‹ And she has a Japanese official account, why did she post in Japanese on her Korean account? Imagine if a Korean member had posted about 3.1 day on their Japanese account, people would be up in arms. Does JYP like Jap money that much?

 

6. [+3,169, -279] So apparently she wrote this on her Korean account and not her Japanese account? ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ She must think Korea's a joke ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I'm curious if she's ever even written a word about liberation or independence day~ ã…Žã…Žã…Ž

 

7. [+2,497, -201] She was quiet on 3.1 day so why post particularly about this? ã…‹

 

8. [+2,290, -206] The shamelessness as expected from a country of war crimes

[turn it up!]

god.. this is a nightmare 

[LuckyLuna]

How dare a Japanese idol post about her home country!! 

[Simpl]

 

 

They are deleting comments of criticism in live time instead of deleting the post itself. 

Aaah the JYP classic.

Weird that people never talk about this and rather beat the dead horse that is "YG's mediaplay".

[Haunted]

just checked and the instagram post already has 60k comments 

[Kwon Fire]

[+9,728, -1,803]

hmmm

[turn it up!]

Aaah the JYP classic.

You have got to be kidding me... I would be able to rationalize your comment if sana was in the wrong here but literally how far did you stretch to bring yg into this??? Where is the correlation???

[LilDdalgi]

Aaah the JYP classic.

You did not just compare JYP deleting comments that are absolutely crossing the line, insulting her in all kind of ways, with YG's mediaplay. 

[Chardonnay]

I honestly don't get it. She made a very non-political post about Japan transitioning into a new era. What's wrong with it? Is she supposed to pretend like she's not Japanese? 

[coval]

But the current emperor has only been on the throne since 1989?
If she was celebrating his father, Hirohito it would make more sense but literally what war crimes has Akihito been involved with

[Korosuneko]

Hopefully this doesn't go overboard like it was with Jimin and Tiffany.

[TTyyan]

Fans also reporting those comments because ofc we would do that when our fav getting bullied. Calling her disgusting for being japanese etc isn't criticism it's harrasment.

[LaJetée]

....I can't do this again, I really can't. 

[SockMonkey]

Do you guys really think her managers would let her post anything political? Whats not clicking?

[SUGAMAN]

Here they go again with their toxic nationalism.

 

 

Aaah the JYP classic.

it's not a dead horse if it keeps happening

[valentinna]

Why didn’t WT post this article?

[Ash-Pikachu]

 

One cannot compare Yang Hyun Suk's media-play to any other company.

[Caridee]

9K upvotes isnt looking good. Watch reporters take this oppurtunity and keep writing articles about it. yikes..

more than 9k people live in korea. she will be just fine. 

 

 

knowing jype and their cowardliness, she might be forced to take down a harmless post. oh wait maybe go on national tv and apologize

[sunshinersforcedlaugh]

Another female idol getting shit on for nothing. Typical.

[RosaRosa]

 

Hopefully this doesn't go overboard like it was with Jimin and Tiffany.
