K-Pop Star Chaeyoung of TWICE Apologizes for Wearing Swastika on T-Shirt
View Date:2024-12-23 23:17:09
Chaeyoung is offering an apology.
The South Korean rapper, who is a member of the girl group TWICE, issued a message after she posted a photo wearing a T-shirt with a swastika graphic on it in a since-deleted Instagram post.
"Hello, this is Chaeyoung from TWICE. I sincerely apologize regarding the Instagram post," the 23-year-old wrote in a statement shared to Instagram March 21. "I didn't correctly recognize the meaning of the tilted swastika in the t-shirt I wore. I deeply apologize for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern."
Chaeyoung continued by saying she will make different choices moving forward.
"I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again," she wrote. "Sincerely apologize again."
Chaeyoung's T-shirt in the since-deleted photo featured an image from the '70s of Sex Pistols‘ Sid Vicious wearing a top with a swastika on it, per Billboard.
The girl group TWICE, which features Chaeyoung, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun and Tzuyu, was formed in 2015 on the reality show Sixteen created by JYP Entertainment and Mnet.
The series featured multiple contestants vying for a spot in the eventual TWICE girl group. Since their formation, TWICE has found major success.
Their 2023 EP Ready To Be: 12th Mini Album is currently at number one on the World Albums chart, the Top Album Sales chart, the Top Current Album Sales chart and the Tastemaker Albums chart, according to Billboard.
