The OP wondered if it was appropriate to post a video like that while another idol was caught up in a controversy after calling the East Sea the Sea of Japan.
NCT WISH is currently under fire for the East Sea controversy…is it really appropriate to post a video like this now? She’s still a K-Pop idol…but all the quotes are international netizens mocking and criticizing Korea.
However, others felt that the OP was taking it too far with just a short video clip.
LMAOOO watch people overanalyze this thinking they dont like SK, when it probably means theyre happy to visit other countries😭😭😭 https://t.co/2RyE8e2LH8

K-Netizens also agreed that people were going out of their way to hate on the group.
- “The trolling is going too far.”
- “The fans and artists are just having fun. I don’t understand why she needs to be criticized for this?”
- “How is this mocking Korea?”
- “I thought this was some cyber-wrecker looking at the title…this was just for fun..stop exaggerating.”
