1. [+71, -5] The Nazis and the Japanese are the same exact war criminals, how could you not know this?

2. [+41, -3] She looks so dumb

3. [+30, -0] Ignorance is a crime

4. [+31, -3] And this is why proper education is so important

5. [+29, -2] Sigh... now how can we expect foreigners to know or care about the Japanese imperial flag, then... This is sad.

6. [+6, -0] She's so ignorant, I bet she thought it was a religious symbol

7. [+5, -0] Just an example of ignorance and lack of education...

8. [+4, -0] At her age, how can she have learned nothing all her life except memorizing songs and dances?

9. [+4, -0] Whatever the case, she's a public figure.. this is so thoughtless.

10. [+4, -1] Saying she didn't see it is such a poor excuse when the symbol is right there in the middle, big for all to see. She should've just been honest and said she didn't know what the symbol was.

11. [+3, -0] Why must idols make it so explicitly obvious that their brains are empty? Did she really not recognize the Nazi swastika and wore it out in public thinking it was just some regular old symbol? Or did a stylist force her to wear this? Does she really have no history education at all? Whatever the actual situation is, she should be embarrassed of herself all around and really reflect on this.

12. [+3, -0] Singing and dancing are important, but please get these idols some basic education...

13. [+3, -0] If she had worn this around Europe.. we'd really have nothing to say if they had stabbed or shot her. Idols really seem to think that being popular is the only thing that matters and refuse to learn or grow;;

14. [+2, -0] So thoughtless... so what if she's young, where's her manager??

15. [+2, -0] It's right there in the middle, so obvious to the eye... do kids these days really not know what the Nazi symbol is?

1. [+393] Just like how we expect foreign members to respect our Korean culture, we should hold the Korean members to the same expectations for the cultures of others

2. [+285] Anything regarding Nazis is a sensitive topic in the west and one that you should not mess with..

3. [+253] We really need to start making sure that celebrities are taught a basic level of education..

4. [+41] People make mistakes. What's important is that they acknowledge it and don't make it again...

5. [+29] Chaeyoung-ah ㅠㅠㅠㅜ

6. [+17] This is why you should always strive to be learning all throughout your life. You can avoid mistakes like this and live more comfortably.

7. [+142] She's dumb but kind-hearted

8. [+59] I honestly do think she could've not known. She was a trainee since she was young so probably never had to study history or anything. It may be common knowledge to us but we grew up in a different environment to her. At this point, all that matters is that she apologized and doesn't do it again.

9. [+70] How the west regards the swastika is the same and probably even worse than how we regard the imperial flag...

10. [+41] Yeah, I get that she should've been educated on this stuff, but isn't recognizing the swastika just basic knowledge..

11. [+32] An example why focusing only on singing and dancing lessons is not good

12. [+8] Our country needs to become more sensitive in dealing with these issues as well

13. [+22] She has a lot left to learn... from singing to history

14. [+27] It's seriously a big problem with how much idols lack basic knowledge because they've only trained all their lives

15. [+15] Twice's sole troublemaker
