Sana Is Facing Backlash From Korean Netizens Over A Recent Instagram Post
A recent Instagram post by Sana of TWICE has been blowing up in Korea, bringing with it a wave of angry Korean netizens.
Sana wrote a message in Japanese about the recent abdication of the Japanese emperor, Emperor Akihito.
As someone born in the Hesei era, I am sad that it is coming to an end. However, Hesei, you worked hard. It’s the beginning of the Reiwa era so I’m going to face the beginning and complete the last day of Hesei neatly.
– Sana
This prompted nationalistic Korean netizens to bash Sana for giving slight praise to the former Japanese emperor. Korea-Japan relations are historically tense so when a foreign idol gets marginally political they face a lot of backlash from some of the Korean public.
Many are comparing this situation to Tzuyu’s flag scandal but JYP hasn’t removed the Instagram post which may indicate that they see nothing wrong with Sana’s message.
