TWICE's Chaeyoung has issued an apology for wearing a T-shirt with a Nazi symbol on it.

Chaeyoung stated, "I sincerely apologize for the post. I did not realize the tilted swastika on the shirt I was wearing. I am truly sorry for causing concern to many people by not checking more carefully."

She added, "In the future, I will be absolutely mindful to ensure that I do not cause any worries to many people in such situations."

Earlier, Chaeyoung sparked controversy for wearing a T-shirt with a Nazi symbol. The word "swastika" in English means "manji" and "crooked cross emblem (used by the former German Nazi Party)."

Overseas fans demanded an apology in the comments of Chaeyoung's post, and Chaeyoung deleted the post along with an explanation, saying she was "truly sorry."

Fans were also surprised that this was not the first time Chaeyoung had worn a T-shirt with a Nazi symbol.

In particular, the agency JYP Entertainment issued a joint apology, which was unusual in response to the strong criticism from overseas fans.

JYP Entertainment stated on the 22nd, "Regarding Chaeyoung's Instagram post, we sincerely apologize for causing concern by not recognizing the tilted swastika on the shirt Chaeyoung was wearing. We take responsibility for not examining it more carefully. We will also be extra careful to ensure that such situations do not occur again in the future. We apologize."

TWICE, including Chaeyoung, released a new mini-album, 'READY TO BE,' on the 10th and is currently promoting the title track 'SET ME FREE.'

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
