TWICE’s Chaeyoung Apologizes For Wearing T-Shirt With Offensive Imagery

’s Chaeyoung has apologized for a recent Instagram post in which she wore a controversial T-shirt.

On March 21, Chaeyoung posted a photo of herself wearing a Sid Vicious T-shirt with a Nazi symbol on it. Shortly afterwards, when fans pointed out the problematic imagery on the shirt, Chaeyoung deleted the post and uploaded an apology in its place.I sincerely apologize regarding the Instagram post. I didn’t correctly recognize the meaning of the tilted swastika in the t-shirt I wore.

I deeply apologize for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern. I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Yun lang ba talaga?

I think it’s quite stupid cuz I feel like she honeslty didn’t have a clue about what the swastika meant. I mean the fact it was printed on a shirt is wrong in the first place so she didn’t do research about it cuz it was already on a shirt so she just assumed it was a random*

.

you're telling me that korean education doesn't touch on WW2 cuz aint NO way a 23 y/o didnt recognize the symbol

The artist/owner of the shirt/brand should be the one to apologize or banned. Y'all are blaming the one who wore it but never the one who made it.

Dont spread it. It will only get worse

It was a non apology. 6 lines for 6 million dead.

idk but I don’t like that there are so many fans coming up with excuses for her 🤨 it’s weird

I don't care what country you're from, the swastika is a international symbol of hate. Everybody should know and recognize that.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE ONE AND ONLY ARTICLE TO BRING UP CHAEYOUNG'S APOLOGY I REALY REALY APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH

Wait, how tf is swastika 'offensive imagery'

Shes a nz!

It’s okay we as Onces fans like to forgive you.

I need her to do what Tzuyu was forced to do for a small bs issue. I need Chae to cry on camera and be genuine about her apology and I need to see her throw that t-shirt away

Every single person defending her better NEVER call any other idol a racist since it's okay due to cultural differences.

TZUYU CHARISMATIC TZUYU AWESOME TZUYU FLAWLESS CHAEYOUNG CHERISH CHAEYOUNG LOVELY CHAEYOUNG ADORE

So men/women can wear shirts that say Slut or C**t but Chaeyoung can't wear a Sid Vicious shirt?

Q -anon is a conservative political group with absolutely no ties to natzis or any other racist hate groups despite lies from democrats + the liberal media

We love u chae

you really need to post this

She apologised, and said she didn’t know the meaning and won’t do it again in the future. What more do y’all want from these people? If she didn’t wear the shirt with offensive intentions, why y’all cancelling her like your life depends on it. Idols are humans too ffs

CHAEYOUNG HAS APOLOGISED.

If you don't know about the Swatiska and it's meaning as a grown adult, especially as a famous person of interest, then there's desperate educational catching up and media training to do.

I'm a Jewish and I'm not judging because I know it's very common symbol in East Asia's Buddhist temples. I understand it's a problem of education... unfortunately it happens often, sometimes it doesn't even get attention.

The Q'anon shirt was the stylist's fault but the swastika was her own wardrobe so I guess that's why she's apologizing but it doesn't look good for her (even though I know she wasn't aware of it) bcoz these 2 shirts were posted recently . It was a bit ignorant on her part imo.

Not people defending her in the comments. She's a grown woman from Korea that should know about WW2. AS IT WAS COMMON KNOWNLEDGE. Crazy kpop fans will defend their celebrities as if they couldn't careless. If you're not Jewish keep your mouth shut.

Why are some people in these comments trying to clear the searches This isn't a joke or something to be swept under the rug

If you’re not Jewish don’t speak about how we should feel about this

People painting her as some nzi are just as immature as those praising her for her apology.

I speak for EVERYONE when I say we accept her apology

barely

wait, so she did this TWICE? wow

Twice “fans” acts so childish here “defending” this girl. I’m 100% she knew what she wears. It really reminds me how bambam fans acted when he posted photos from russia during the war in Ukraine…. Disgusting

People are excusing her saying they have never heard of it either. You’re not an idol who is promoting WORLDWIDE. If they want the perks of being a global success they better fucking start learning about global hate symbols

I believe her when she said she didn’t know And wild that t shirt even exists but, people saying it’s the stylist fault or she confused it with the manji plz stop lol her not having bad intentions doesn’t make the damage smaller. You live and you learn.

This is one area where K-Pop artists struggle sometimes (world history & other cultures). Yes, they can't know EVERYthing about EVERY culture, but the swastika is a MAJOR symbol to be aware of. World history is crucial, especially when they're trying to go international.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I think people saying stuff like 'is she stupid, how could she not know' or 'she need to go back to school' etc. don't realize that the symbol has a whole different meaning in Asia and Buddhism and if you grow up with the symbol being ever present in your culture as a normal -

Hell no that’s still messed up.

TZUYU CHARISMATIC TZUYU AWESOME TZUYU FLAWLESS CHAEYOUNG CHERISH CHAEYOUNG LOVELY CHAEYOUNG ADORE

The symbol is all over Korea in front of Buddhist Temples. It was used long before Nazis appropriated the symbol. Still, she should know better.

I don't blame her at all, not one bit, love you Chae🥰

These things happen so often with these idols. Perhaps investing in cultural competency should be a part of their training plan. Like how do you aspire global success yet can’t get the basics correct?

CHAEYOUNG CHERISH CHAEYOUNG LOVELY CHAEYOUNG ADORE

I believe Chaeyoung didn't do that on purpose. She is a free spirit and she loves art, if it is not the fault of her stylist then she may only see designs that she perceives as art without knowing the contextual meaning of those designs.

Just curious, are holocaust and ww2 topics during history classes in Korean schools?

Everyone so sensitive nowadays I’m pretty sure everyone has worn,said, or even thought something offensive so stop throwing hate get over it she didn’t know and it’s not like she even did and offensive gesture or comment she just sat there🙄

This is probably the fastest idol apology in history

Thank you for apologizing Chaeyoung I knew I stan the right idol who is courageous enough to keep herself accountable Love you and proud of you❤️

Swastika and Nazi symbol are different from each other. Plss educate yourself before judging 🥺😭

Not every education syllabus emphasizes on Western history, as the content and focus of education can vary greatly depending on the country, institution, or teachers. It’s not fair to assume that she’s ignorant or intentionally harmful simply because of her lack of knowledge…

I also thought this would be about the Qanon shirt...she also had a swatstika on a shirt? Damn, who is her stylist?

What was on the shirt that was so offensive

that was a sick shirt

Why does Korea love to give K-Pop idols war shit like wtf!? First Sowon,then Goeun and now Chaeyoung!? I know there’s more but I can’t remember rn,as I’m not the party affect I have nothing to say on this and I will take what Jewish ONCEs have to say on this

I thought this was gonna be about the QAnon thing but there’s ANOTHER one?!

you are better than popbase.

Ok, she didn't know the meaning of the swastika. What about the photographer, manager, security guards, and other staff members? Nobody noticed it? Who sells those things nowadays?

Son un medio, deberían dar más contexto de la playera y realmente sólo decir q los fans tampoco se informaron del contenido de la playera pero se la viven dando información a medias, su trabajo lo puede hacer cualquier persona con un gadget

Not “offensive imagery” it’s a f*cking nazi symbol

For some context, I think the reason there’s been so many issues like this and idols not realizing is because the Buddhist manji symbol is the exact same as the symbol the nazis used. In Asia this symbol has an entirely different meaning.

I thought this was about the Qanon shirt she wore but this is different lol

As a proper fan, I reserved my judgement and waited for your apology, especially when you removed the picture so quickly for those who were offended. I knew you would apologize, Chaeyoung. Thank you and work hard like you 9 girls always do!

I'm glad she owned up to it, deleted the post and apologized. That's all she can do. 🤷 Hope she does better in the future!

If this was BP, you would have had Hitler in the post image and swastika in caps bolded

Good idols 👍 i'm so proud of u.. Others people might just ignoring it. But she is not.. Such sincerely person.. Respect

Oh she deserved it

Meanwhile shameless jennie and Lisa 💀

If you don't know about the Swatiska and it's meaning as a grown adult, especially as a famous person of interest, then there's desperate educational catching up and media training to do.

Wdc she is over….nvm. she never started 🤭

One thing i hate about kpop stans is they never hold their faves accountable. I see many Onces not holding Chaeyoung on what she did.

Shes a grown woman how does she not know?

she apologizes and everyone thinks its okay now? bunch of npc's

good. was waiting for this one
