Article: Steven Yeun writes second apology "I didn't make enough effort as a Korean American... I apologize"

1. [+2,185, -984] What did he do so wrong that people are making him apologize this much? ㅋㅋ You're all hypocrites who still enjoy vacations to Japan yourselves
2. [+1,923, -453] If he's going to apologize, he should just keep it simple. Why bother mentioning that he's Korean American now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Being Korean American doesn't excuse you from not knowing history
3. [+1,734, -869] All of you getting worked up over this... did he murder someone? Did he scam people?? He pressed like on a picture accidentally and now you're out to kill him... He apologized, let it go!!
4. [+89, -24] Where's his explanation on why his English apology was different from his Korean apology? And the fact that this is a repeated mistake, that he made a mistake like this in the past as well?
5. [+83, -12] A mistake can happen the first time but not if it's repeated. He has history of wearing a rising sun belt on the Walking Dead. His fans educated him on why that was wrong and yet he did this again. Did he commit a crime worthy of death? To our culture, yes.
6. [+48, -35] You fools, if he really meant to press like on a picture of a rising sun, do you think he would've apologized at all? You're all gross... so lenient on your own mistakes but you're willing to kill anyone else who makes a mistake ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+42, -21] Aigoo... it's over for him...
8. [+22, -8] It's only at times like this that everyone suddenly acts like a patriot ㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+3,475, -138] If only he admitted to his mistake the first time and ended it with an apology... instead of writing two different apologies in Korean and English, it wouldn't have gotten this far..
2. [+1,768, -42] What's it matter if he's not hiding? ㅋㅋㅋ We already found out his true colors. He's two-faced enough to write sweet words in Korean and turn around and put Koreans down in English in the ery same post... We already saw how tw-faced he can be.
3. [+1,261, -49] Yes, he isn't hiding by posting apologies but his ignorance has already been brought to light. It's obvious that his second apology was written by his agency. His first apology that he deleted after 40 minutes sounded more genuine than this one. I was such a fan and it makes no sense to me that as someone who has suffered from racism himself, that he would treat such a sensitive issue in Asia so lightly. I've lost all respect for him.
4. [+863, -23] Rising sun = Nazi flag. That's the only explanation that you need. Anyone who uses that flag is the same as Hitler.
5. [+742, -37] He's only apologizing because he's afraid of his movie flopping ㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+123, -3] He shouldn't have apologized at all if he was going to write different apologies in Korean and English. I get that he's upset that he's getting all this hate over one accidental like but this is a super sensitive issue in our history and it's sad that a popular actor is treating it like this... I even hear that this isn't even his first controversy with the rising sun flag
7. [+46, -4] Yes, he didn't hide, but this scandal grew worse for him after people found out it wasn't his first time. His poor movie...
8. [+45, -3] I understand not knowing about the meaning behind the rising sun flag but then why did he write two different apologies? The fact that he did that makes it harder to believe his apology to be genuine. It honestly makes him cowardly too.
