"Let's all think about patriot Ahn Joong Geun who sacrificed his life for our country and pay a silent tribute. His last words, 'Even in heaven, I will work for the independence of our country', burns a fire in our hearts."

1. [+457, -12] Don't use him for your marketing. You're really going to do it publicly on your official Twitter like that? If you're going to pay your respects to him, just do it quietly. He's not someone you can use for your popularity.

2. [+317, -8] We see right through you. And February 14th is merely the date he was sentenced. If you really want to pay tribute to his death, it's much more meaningful to do it on his actual date of death on March 26th.

3. [+263, -7] How could you even use this for your marketing ㅡㅡ Is this a joke

4. [+24, -1] Such obvious marketing ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+23, -3] I mean it's a good thought and all... but we see right through them ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+19, -1] I'll acknowledge it if they show proof that they went last year too

7. [+13, -3] February 13th is merely the date he was sentenced. Everyone should know this as a basic fact. This is not a date that's significant enough to memorialize. These idols, who we're all seeing for the first time, is obviously using our martyr as a marketing tactic. To the people defending them saying they're at least raising awareness, were you all asleep when we were taught basic history in school? Everyone should know what this date means even without these nugu idols.

8. [+10, -1] Not even the date he was killed, they really went this far to get attention for a date he was sentenced on? ㅡㅡ
