Member of global K-Pop sensation "Twice" publicly wears a t-shirt with a swastika on it, days after performing while wearing a Q-Anon shirt. Reddit's K-Pop community reacts.
Post Body

For those who don't know, Twice is one of the biggest K-Pop groups in the world, and they're hot off their new single which they hope will help them establish themselves in the west. They're also about to start a highly anticipated world tour, including the USA and Europe.

Enter Chaeyoung, one of the youngest members who just yesterday caught some minor flack for performing using a Q-Anon t-shirt. Since this was a performance, many blamed their stylist for the mishap.

But then not even a full day later, Chaeyoung uploads pictures of her strolling around NYC (meaning she wore her own clothes) wearing a T-Shirt depicting Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols with a swastika on it. The k-pop world goes into turmoil.

As a korean, it is really hard to distinguish the pattern for buddhism or nazi’s

I'm glad Chaeyoung took the time to acknowledge this and apologise for her mistake but for me and other Jewish fans, this runs way deeper.

Glad she addressed it. Now we can move on and for those who are getting tickets tomorrow all the best to you guys

I'm genuinely surprised nobody in New York City checked her on it to be honest.

Is the holocaust not taught at schools anymore?

Do I think she is a Nazi? Well, no. Extremely ignorant? Well, yes

I've seen some people using "it's punk!" as an excuse but it really isn't.

As someone active in the punk and hardcore scene in my area, this does not line up with the ideals of a majority of us.

I am so tired of this Orientalist defense that Asian people basically live in fucking caves and don't have 5G Internet

Many other random dramas all across the board, including who gets to be offended by nazis, "are the Sex Pistols punk?", or the true meaning of the word "swastika"
