[+724, -30] They have every right to be pissed off over that... We get pissed off when we see Donghae labeled as Sea of Japan or Dokdo labeled as Takeshima..
[+147, -14] I understand, Vietnam
[+109, -6] Wait, tickets haven't even been open for sale yet in Vietnam? Where's the fact checking in these articles? Who could have already bought tickets when pre-orders open at the end of July??
[+86, -26] Who handled this at YG? Was one of them paid off by China and they're hanging Black Pink out to dry like this?...
[+38, -0] Facts: Black Pink tickets haven't opened for sale in Vietnam yet, so whoever wrote that comment saying, "I bought two tickets but canceled them after seeing this," they're lying.
[+50, -19] They have every right to be mad. We get pissed seeing Donghae mislabeled as the Sea of Japan. YG is in the wrong for this.
[+31, -0] Tickets didn't even open for sale until today so what're the people who claimed to have bought and canceled two tickets even saying?
[+15, -1] Tickets weren't for sale yet so who made up the story about buying two and canceling it? ㅋㅋㅋ Who is fact-checking these stories?
[+10, -0] Did someone buy two tickets from the future and cancel them there? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Tickets never went for sale in the first place so how could anyone have bought and canceled them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+5, -1] There are so many global brands that will promote all this for you without issue. Why would you have a Chinese company do it? Bizarre.
[+2, -0] Let's do better, people. Their agency needs to keep a better eye out for things like this.
[+2, -1] I'm on their side... We would investigate any company that labeled 'Sea of Japan' on a concert poster.
[+1, -0] What I don't understand is why YG gave the job to a Chinese company

[+466] If a group labeled Dokdo as Takeshima on their poster, how many of us would go? I just looked up the organizer and they're based out of Beijing... and now we know why they labeled it the way they did. Please don't taint our country's girl group like this...
[+330] One of the biggest pros for Black Pink is that they don't have a Chinese member so they don't run any political risks and can be loved all over the world... so I can't believe this actually happened to them ㅠㅠ
[+298] Yeah, this is wrong.. Vietnam's protest of China is even stronger than our own country, and they messed with something highly sensitive to them. Just apologize quickly and put out some fan service that can make up for the hurt feelings..
[+255] The Vietnamese are right... I completely understand where they're coming from
[+208] Black Pink's organizers are 100% in the wrong for this. Our country would know best what the Vietnamese are feeling right now..
[+78] They have every right to be angry, to investigate into this, and to cancel tickets if they want to...
[+72] Genuinely apologize and empathize with what they're saying. We would be upset, too, if someone labeled Dokdo as Takeshima.
[+30] The Vietnamese are doing very, very good with this. Anyone should stand up and fight when their country is being threatened like this.
