i have no words at that point. what did the producers have in mind putting this in the lyrics? can't even be considered a mistranslation because the same thing appears as you google the korean term from the lyrics. i hope the members don't get blamed for this but still, this is horrifying.​

I was not aware of how problematic the lyrics were (or even this horrific event) when I first heard the song, do hope the company apologizes though. Using an event like that as an aesthetic is not okay. Those songwriters and stylists should be called out.

Can't be considered a coincidence with the outfits seemingly styled to look like soldiers outfits so hopefully they can find out who suggested this

Koreans and Japanese are hypocritical when it comes to world history. When their neighbor country attacked them after 1920 they will remember forever, but they trivialize atrocities committed in other parts of the world. Imagine if this was a Japanese war captain or if they wore Chinese PLA outfits as props, they'll explode with anger but don't care in regards to Europe.

i can't even begin to comprehend what was going through their minds when they greenlit this. to reference the kristallnacht, the people involved definitely knew what they were doing. it makes me so angry that they're going to feign ignorance anyway.

and they literally just started too. pulling off that kind of sh*t not even a year into their career...
i'm really curious how the company is going to handle this, because the lyrics, the aesthetic and the styling is damning. not sure how they go from there? apology first and foremost, but will they change the lyrics, pull the song? dont know, tho i could never stan after something like this happened, it was already icky for me with the whole mental health problems as an aesthetic.

at this point i think the company is just going the "bad publicity is still publicity" route because they gave them a lyric "spreading hatred like a covid" in their debut, the words bipolar and anxiety in album titles and now this. the groups is full of children too most of the members are like 16 y/o from what i saw. mess :headache:
