BTS Korean Liberation Army Shirt Issue, Typical Japan Right-wing Interesting Method
The reason why those who want to reverse history do so is because of the threat to them. The term 'anachronism' we often refer to is used when we look at behaviors that do not adapt to changes in the present age. The right-wing Japan, which is now taking BTS as a target for their polItical purposes and hanging on, is so, but can It be their way?
Japan TV Asahi released what they called the Atomic T-shirt because BTS was canceled from the broadcast, which was originally scheduled, was the Korean Liberation Army T-shirt. “The design of the T-shirts that members were wearing is causing a stir,” the apology statement said. BTS member Jimin was pointed out as a problem that Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki photos of the atomic bomb were wearing printed T-shirts.
It is highly intentional for them to refer to this Korean Liberation Army T-shirt as a 'Amber T-shirt'. It is because of Yi Gi, who is trying to cover up the atrocIties of Japan in his time wIth a sympathetic vocabulary called 'Atomic Bomb'. The term “Korean Liberation Army” reveals more actions than the German Nazis they commItted during the Japanese colonial rule. It is because of the Korean Liberation Army from It.
But the Japan right wing pulled out only the image of the 'atom bomb' they needed for their purpose in the T-shirt. What makes Japan's media strange is that this T-shirt was worn in everyday life, not in public, during the 2017 World Tour, not now. It suddenly became a problem now, and the fact that the media was forced to cancel the appearance eventually tells us that the Japan right wing are deliberately taking advantage of this issue.
This is not much different from the fact that Japan's right wing issue 'Dokdo' only for polItical purposes. It is a pIty, but they can only show their presence when they act like this anachronistic behavior. They keep bringing out old artifacts of nationalism and nationalism and talking about discrimination and disgust, so they do not know that they are still a step away from the 'ghost of the past'. At this point, still not apologizing for their past mistakes still seems to be the intention to take It out and use It.
However, the BTS they touched is an icon of the global global village era that combines all of them, beyond the boundaries of language, nation, nation, and race, in contrast to the old artifacts such as nationalism and nationalism. So when Japan right-wingers targeted BTS, It set the tragic past specter that the Second World War had already created wIth discrimination and disgust, and the value of a new era that would cross all boundaries and share and sympathize wIth each other in the name of culture. Which will be the real target?
Although BTS is a target and expresses It as a 'Amber T-shirt' and tries to encourage disgust through It, Amy (BTS' fan club) is campaigning for a hastigue to announce that It is not 'Amber T-shirt' but 'Korean Liberation Army T-shirt' through SNS. Amy is a hashthiegro called '#LiberationTshirtNotBomBTShirt', which rather draws out the meaning of Korean Liberation Army.
What does It mean that World-class media such as CNN and the BBC have started to deal wIth this issue? This means that the former World has begun to pay attention to the movements of the Japan right wing, which is still on the path of 'anachronism' by polItical purposes. BTS was used as a target, but the target is rather them.
