Sungshin Women's University professor Seo Gyeong-deok, who took the lead in promoting Korea, announced on the 29th that he sent a protest email to world-renowned pop star Justin Bieber.
Prior to this, on the 9th, Justin Bieber appeared on the Japanese TV Asahi music program'Music Station' and released the new song'Anyone', and came out wearing the padding of the Rising Sun Flag, and it became a big controversy.
In response, Professor Seo sent a complaint e-mail to Justin Bieber's social media account and agency, "The rising sun flag is the same meaning as Hakenkreuz in Germany. He explained.
In particular, he advised, "I hope that you will know the exact historical meaning of the'Rising Sun Flag' and do not do this again. Please sincerely apologize to Asian fans."
Prof. Seo, who planned this event, said, "A Japanese far-right media outlet advocated for Justin Bieber, saying,'Only Koreans claim that the Rising Sun Flag symbolizes imperialist aggression. .
In addition, he added, "Justin Bieber once uploaded a picture of a visit to Yasukuni Shrine, where a Pacific War A-class war criminal joined together, and apologized for a big problem."
In particular, Professor Seo said, "When a world-class celebrity uses the Rising Sun Flag pattern and visits Yasukuni Shrine, Japan will use this as a'righteousness'.It is obvious that it is obvious that it must be corrected,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Professor Kyung-Duk Seo's team is constantly running a multilingual video campaign to stop cheering for the Rising Sun Flag during the Tokyo Olympics in Japan in July.
