G-Dragon Praised For Patriotic Post Amid ENHYPEN Ni-ki’s Controversy Over Korea-Japan War
G-Dragon’s post has received countless compliments from Korean netizens.
ENHYPEN’s Ni-ki recently got into a controversy over Korea-Japan war. Specifically, Ni-ki said he was jealous of Korean fans as they would have a day off on March 1st, which was Korea’s Independence Day.
The March 1st Movement was a significant protest by Koreans in 1919 against Japanese colonial rule, so as a Japanese idol, Ni-ki faced severe backlash from Korean netizens for his comment, which led to him issuing a apology on Weverse.
Amid this scandal, G-Dragon was praises by Korean netizens for his patriotism. On March 1st, he posted on his Instagram story the Korean flag emoticon, along with the hand raising emoticon, showing his appreciation for this day.
On the popular online forum theqoo, Korean Internet users flooded in compliments on the singer’s post.
The comments include:
“Gotta give it to him this time, he is so cool.”
”He is always so cool.”
“WOW”
”He has a good mindset. So cool”
”He’s been posting it for years.”
The topic has gathered approximately 65,000 views after 10 hours.
