<p>K-popstar Chaeyoung has issued an apology after she drew flak for wearing a T-shirt featuring a swastika.&nbsp; Chaeyoung is a member of the popular K-pop group Twice. The 23-year-old was recently clicked wearing a T-shirt with an image of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious wearing a swastika logo. She posted a photo of herself wearing it on her Instagram account to her 8.6 million followers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The post was soon deleted after it drew strong criticism. It was replaced with an apology which read, “I didn’t correctly recognise the meaning of the tilted swastika in the T-shirt I wore,” she wrote. “I deeply apologise for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern. I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again.”</p>

This was the second time that the pop-star had gotten embroiled in controversy this past week.

This is not the first time that the K-pop world has courted controversy over the Nazi logo. In 2018, managers of the biggest K-pop group BTS apologised after one of their members was pictured wearing a hat in a style originally worn by SS officers, featuring a swastika and eagle logo.&nbsp;<br />

Also in 2022, Korean boyband Epex changed lyrics to their song Anthem of Teen Spirit after references to “crystal night”, “the night in the crystal” and “burning raw” were seen as referencing the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom against Jews in Nazi Germany. The group had also drawn flak for wearing military uniforms in the song’s video that somewhat resembled ones worn by Nazi officers.&nbsp;</p>

Later , the group’s label C9 Entertainment had reasoned that the imagery was inspired by George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, and the lyrics referred to the “robotised education system” in Korea, but apologised and altered the lyrics.<br />
