Article: "Feeling melancholic" Twice Sana under controversy for confessing feelings on the abdication of throne by Japanese emperor

1. [+603, -89] The Emperor was a symbolic representation of the war crimes. Does she really want to confess her feelings on his abdication while working in Korea? It hasn't even been that long since the 100th anniversary of the independence movement. This Jap needs to go home.
2. [+267, -32] I think it was careless of her to post this but what I'm more surprised about is how her agency is handling this. They are deleting comments of criticism in live time instead of deleting the post itself. It seems like they're trying to keep Japan happy.
3. [+251, -29] Just proves that in the end, they can live in Korea and make money here but their own country will be their priority. And to think that JYP is going through with their all-Japanese girl group... why Japan?
4. [+75, -11] Ah seriously ㅡㅡ Please stop casting Japanese members ㅡㅡ Do we really not have any other trainees? Let's just keep our advancements to the US ㅡㅡ K-Pop is past the point of considering being successful in Japan any feat ㅡㅡ Why do we keep using members from a controversial, unapologetic country and causing controversies like this?
5. [+68, -7] Did she have to post this on her official Korean account...? The Korean members were too scared of the Japanese to even post anything on 3.1 Independence day, the least she could do is be considerate of the fact that she's working in Korea right now... What does this make her Korean members?
6. [+65, -7] Go live in Japan if you're so melancholic over it
7. [+55, -8] Sana has both Korean and Japanese accounts, it's funny that she wrote this on her Korean account. I don't think reactions would be this bad if she had written it on her Japanese account. The majority of her Korean fans can't read Japanese so why did she post in Japanese on her Korean account...
8. [+46, -6] And will there still be stupid fans left for her after this? Twice's male fans make up 80% of their fan base, let's see how they handle this.
9. [+40, -4] And yet Park Jin Young is still going through with an all-Japanese girl group...
10. [+33, -5] What was the point in posting this on SNS... when she's making her money in Korea... sigh, just keep it to yourself.

1. [+9,728, -1,803] This Japanese needs to at least be considerate of the fact that she's making her money in Korea
2. [+4,984, -714] Go back to Japan then..
3. [+4,229, -670] Okay, farewell~ I'll be skipping you from now on
4. [+4,120, -652] Jap
5. [+3,397, -252] Our Korean idols are being called Chosenjin (Monsta X's Jooheon) and even fellow member Dahyun was blatantly criticized by Japanese politicians for wearing a Marymond hat. I tried to be understanding about Twice never posting anything on Korean holidays commemorating our independence since they're a multinational group but this is just wrong ㅋ And she has a Japanese official account, why did she post in Japanese on her Korean account? Imagine if a Korean member had posted about 3.1 day on their Japanese account, people would be up in arms. Does JYP like Jap money that much?
6. [+3,169, -279] So apparently she wrote this on her Korean account and not her Japanese account? ㅋㅋㅋ She must think Korea's a joke ㅋㅋㅋ I'm curious if she's ever even written a word about liberation or independence day~ ㅎㅎㅎ
7. [+2,497, -201] She was quiet on 3.1 day so why post particularly about this? ㅋ
8. [+2,290, -206] The shamelessness as expected from a country of war crimes
