TWICE’s Chaeyoung responds to criticism for wearing T-shirt with offensive symbol

TWICE‘s Chaeyoung has been accused of fomenting hatred through her social networks, since the idol allegedly published a series of photographs of herself wearing a T-shirt with a swastika printed on it, a highly censored symbol used by the Germans in one of the most terrible conflicts of humanity.

Of course, Chaeyoung did not take long to respond to the amount of comments and messages that her fans and followers sent her, warning her of the terrible controversy she was causing, the South Korean idol immediately removed the images and publications, after this the artist spoke out about it, apologizing for the serious mistake she had made, since, she assures, she had no idea of the history behind the symbol with 45 degree tilt.

This symbol has a different meaning in the Asian culture, since it is the same, the only thing that could differentiate them is the inclination of the swastika, the religious one does not present this inclination. So it was not very difficult to deduce that Chaeyoung was not lying about it, and her apology was sincere, her quick action, helped a lot to keep a clean reputation from this kind of fanaticism.

.

The story behind the photographs, Chaeyoung has been showing her admiration for the band Six Pistols, and this T-shirt in question was a portrait of one of its members, Sid Vicious, a punk icon of the 70s, the artist was known for generating controversy precisely because he liked to form all kinds of offensive symbols on his clothes.

So the T-shirt worn by the idol had, unfortunately in its design, a swastika with a 45-degree inclination, something that immediately alerted her followers on social networks.
