A popular idol is under fire for posting an inappropriate challenge on Korea’s National Liberation Day.
On August 15, Stray Kids’ Felix sent a voice message through the fan community app Bubble. He did the Shikanoko challenge, which was a Japanese anime.
“Gwangbokjeol” is a public holiday celebrated every year on August 15. It commemorates the liberation of Korea from Japanese rule in 1945.
I saw that this challenge was popular these days. *Sends Voice Message* Something like this?
— Felix
However, this was met with harsh criticism from Korean netizens as they felt it was inappropriate to post, especially on liberation day.
- “I had a good image of Felix, but I guess because he is a foreigner..but still, he doesn’t know anything. He needs to take it down and apologize.”
- “He should have thought about it. Who says he can’t post it? He should just be careful when he posts it.”
- “He doesn’t come on Bubble often, but why did he post that on Liberation Day? He needs to apologize for this.”
- “Why does he have a brain…”
- “Have a sense of thought. It’s just one day.”
- “Didn’t they debut a long time ago? Seems like they don’t think about this type of stuff…”
- “So f*cking disappointed.”
- “Couldn’t he have just waited after today?”
- “What’s wrong with him?”
- “What is this? I’m so disappointed…seriously, what is this.”
- “That’s why I’m not taking a step back.”
- “How unfortunate…I had a good image of him.”
- “Sigh…what’s wrong with him….”
- “Please just think about it on LIberation Day and Independence Day.”\
