The popular American band Maroon Five, which is about to perform in Korea in November, has deleted the image of the rising sun flag from the official website that caused controversy.



Maroon Five recently received protests from domestic fans by releasing a poster with the Rising Sun flag, a symbol of Japanese militarism, while announcing its plans for a concert in Korea.



Enlarging an image


It seems that the website image has been modified in response to the criticism of domestic fans being delivered to Maroon Five by the organizer of the concert in Korea.



It was reported that the amendment could not be made immediately due to the American Independence Day holiday and that it was processed immediately after the start of the business day, but there was no statement of position or an official apology related to it.



Netizens responded, "I think there should be an official apology rather than just a quick edit of the website.", "If you don't know, you have to learn and reflect! We'll keep protesting and making changes."
