In response to Jihoon’s post, netizens claim that it was inappropriate to share a Japanese song on Korea’s Memorial Day.

Netizens commented, “Even if the song is good, shouldn’t he have checked the date?“, “He should have restrained himself from uploading, considering the sensitivity of the day,” “Don’t you have any respect for Memorial Day?“, and so on.
