Even if Japanese and Koreans can't get over their old grudges they should leave idols out of it, they're just entertainers who want to make people happy. The whole point of PD48 was to bring Korea & Japan together and instead some people are still giving them shit.

Wait a minute... I'm Japanese and I wonder what kind of rumors K-netz make. For girl group, Twice's attendance was almost certain but for boy group, TVXQ was the considered one not BTS. This was even before t-shirt incident. TVXQ's popularity in Japan is so big that they don't even promote to make headlines here. There were only some speculations that BTS may be invited to be given a chance coz Twice is also a 3rd gen group and TVXQ have already attended 3 times. It's still not clear who will be invited. Going to be announced next week. After the t-shirt incident, probably another Hallyu Wave ban is on the way, so none of them will be invited but still I can't talk for TVXQ. Although Hallyu ban starting slowly, Korean acts' performanses get cancelled, TVXQ still gets invitations and love. Just a reminder, during the previous Hallyu bans, only Korean act that wasn't affected by the Hallyu ban was TVXQ. They are like Japanese group
