Article: "They must be crazy"... IZ*ONE Sakura's rising sun subway ad installed on Independence Movement Day

1. [+1,989, -31] Who's the company that even accepted a design like this? To put up on Independence Movement Day?

2. [+808, -6] How broken are the heads of the Chinese that they've already forgotten the Nanjing Massacre... 

3. [+523, -21] I bet the Chinese are just trying to instigate negative Japanese Korean sentiment, tsk tsk

4. [+409, -4] Laughable that the Chinese fans are using the rising sun design after suffering the Nanjing Massacre, and doubly laughable that Korean companies are accepting such designs to be put up on the subway. Both are disgusting.

5. [+278, -23] Agencies really need to stop picking Chinese and Japanese idols!

6. [+111, -0] Whoever sold this subway ad space is in the most wrong ㅋㅋㅋ if they never put it up, this never would've been controversial, but they're willing to sell space for whatever the cost ㅋㅋ

7. [+57, -2] Whoever allowed this should be suspended

8. [+56, -1] The irony of "Chinese" fans putting up a subway ad for a "Japanese" idol in "Korea" on the day of Korea's celebration of Independence Movement Day

9. [+56, -1] The subway ad company that allowed this is more problematic. They shouldn't be allowed to just put this stuff up as long as someone pays.

10. [+15, -0] How dumb of the Chinese fans to put up a birthday ad for a Japanese idol in not their own country but in Korea ㅋㅋㅋ with a rising sun flag design ㅋㅋㅋ and let's not forget to blame the Korean ad company that allowed this, too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
