1. [+248, -2] They've been lost in Andromeda since that Thai interview

2. [+238, -1] They always seem to be in the media for controversies. I don't know their songs but I do know that they were cocky in Thai, a member was in a car with a drunk driver, etc. But again...?

3. [+193, -3] Sure you can make a mistake once or twice... but it honestly gives me goosebumps that they don't even feel remorse anymore and are probably laughing about it off camera... When you're constantly making mistakes, of course we're going to assume it becomes intentional at some point... with so many controversies they get into, I'm suspicious of whether their apologies are even genuine.

4. [+34, -1] Even if they didn't know what it meant, it's obviously Japanese, why wear it on liberation day...?

5. [+19, -1] Those bastards

6. [+18, -0] They deserve all the hate for this tsk tsk

7. [+18, -0] They're always getting into controversies, they have to be intentional at this point

8. [+16, -1] Isn't this is a huge issue if that word is used by Japanese right-wingers? I read somewhere that Block B fans were saying they were glad that they put up an apology so fast and asked them to be careful in the future while yelling at anyone who brought up past issues... but come on, this is the 70th national liberation day, how could you think to wear that? Of all the normal outfits they have, it had to be a shirt with Japanese on it?

1. [+6,664, -317] They have had nonstop controversies since their rookie days

2. [+4,140, -292] Let's think before we act, alright?

3. [+3,834, -244] This is so annoying... stop being such greedy people who will do whatever that is ordered of them and start thinking of what you're actually doing. Think of what this event stood for...

3. [+3,225, -474] Please be more careful in the future...

4. [+2,324, -644] Be more careful next time~~!!

5. [+1,074, -35] No matter how stupid you are, you'd have to have known that was Japanese...

6. [+855, -36] I don't get what the point of wearing that shirt was? Whether the word is used by right-wingers or not, why would you purposely wear a Japanese shirt on national liberation day? Even if your coordi gave it to you, you should refuse to wear it. I'm not even asking for nationalism but you should have a sensible head on your shoulders to know that you should refuse it. I seriously don't understand this decision.

7. [+751, -31] Ugh, Block B fans spam commenting "Be careful"... sigh

8. [+724, -35] Block B neverending controversies

1. [+176, -2] They weren't careful with checking their outfits? That has to be a lie. Their manager was obviously with them and the outfits were obviously prepared by a stylist team or even themselves but their manager let them up on stage like that? And their stylists are so stupid. The fact that they didn't know what it meant just proves their stupidity.

2. [+166, -2] Of all the days to wear it, they wore it on a stage celebrating national liberation day ㅋㅋㅋ the funny thing about their apology is that they didn't check their outfits thoroughly? What, do they have buttons for eyes? There's a Japanese word written in huge letters right there. They have no brains...

3. [+90, -2] Ugh... what're they doing

4. [+15, -0] Nope, I think they intentionally wore it. They keep acting like their controversies are a mistake but it's not.

5. [+15, -0] You can clearly see Japanese written on it, even if you don't know the meaning you have to be stupid to think you can wear that on national liberation day. Have some decency.
