GFriend's Sowon is under fire for posting a set of controversial photos on Instagram.
On January 31 KST, Sowon uploaded and then quickly deleted a set of photos taken with a mannequin. The plastic statue has been identified as a Nazi soldier, based on the military garments and the insignia. Some have commented that these photos might have been taken on a set.
Furthermore, according to the fans, member SinB has Sowon saved on her phone as "Kitler", an alleged combination of her name and the former Nazi leader.
this isn’t about kpop, fanwars or whatever the fuck else people are spewing the
situation is. NO this is about insensitive, disrespectful and wrong behaviour that sowon and gfriend need to apologise for. there’s no excuse for it & some of you need to acknowledge that even if there is an apology people are NOT required to forgive them or accept the apology

There is no way that her fans can use the "well she's korean" excuse to justify this. Those were horrible people that killed millions of innocent lives. Many koreans have stated that they do get taught about the holocaust. And even if they don't they would have heard about it. Also the fact that sinb has sowon saved as "kitler" means that they know who hitler is. This is insensitive to all the people who were killed and to those who survived. They can apologize but that doesn't mean that people are gonna forget how insensitive this is. Let's not forget that source music is now under bighit which means that this the 2nd group under the bighit labels that gets called out for being insensitive when it comes to the holocaust.
