"I love patriotic idols."

Japanese fans attack NCT's Taeyong for an Instagram post, but Korean netizens appreciate him for the same post.

The NCT member recently posted a map of Korea to his Instagram story. The map is from an exhibition held at El Museo Del Oro in Colombia (also known as Gold Museum).

Korea and its territories are marked on the map. When Japanese netizens noticed that the island of Dokdo was highlighted as Korean territory, controversy ensued.

The island of Dokdo, also known as Takeshima in Japan, is contested by both Korea and Japan and has been a source of tension between the two countries for decades.

Japanese fans allegedly criticized and accused the NCT member of being anti-Japanese.

"Takeshima (Dokdo) is colored in the same way as the rest of Korea's land. Are all Korean pop stars against Japan?"

” After hearing Taeyong's Takshima (Dokdo) story, I was reminded that SM has been accused of being anti-Japanese more than any other label. It's best to know that the label is anti-Japanese and not expect anything from them."

"Let's say he wears the "Comfort Women" bracelet as an accessory, but he should think twice before calling Takeshima (Dokdo) Korean on a platform that people all over the world can see."

Korean netizens had a very different reaction to the posts, which makes sense.

"I love patriotic idols."
"Wow, people like him even more now."
"He did really well."
"It's so funny to see how upset they get."
“Taeyong? I'll keep his name in mind."
"This might be obvious to Koreans, but it's really cool for an idol to do this considering how important fame and the Japanese market are to him."
"Even though it's obvious, it's really cool for an overseas idol to do this."

TV personality Park Na Rae has become the victim of a shocking theft, and now, many are wondering if someone close to her is behind it.

According to SPOTV News on April 9, the police are looking into the theft at Park Na Rae’s home and suspect that it could have been done by someone she knows. The reason? There were no signs of forced entry.

Park Na Rae noticed that some of her valuable items were missing on April 7. After thinking it through, she decided to report the incident to the police the next day, on April 8.

Expensive items like jewelry were stolen, and the total loss is said to be worth tens of millions of won. However, the exact time of the theft and the full extent of the damage are still being checked.

What makes this even more mysterious is that Park Na Rae’s home didn’t show any signs of being broken into. This led the police to think the thief might be someone who had easy access—possibly a friend or an acquaintance.

Because of the incident, Park Na Rae canceled her appearance on MBC Radio Standard FM’s Son Tae Jin’s Trot Radio on April 8. Her side explained it was because she wasn’t feeling well, though some netizens connected it to a recent live drinking broadcast she did with Jun Hyun Moo and BoA.

Park Na Rae has recently been showing off her Itaewon home on the popular variety show I Live Alone. She purchased the luxurious house back in 2021 for 5.5 billion won.

Fans are expressing concern and support for her, hoping the thief is caught soon and that she’s doing okay after such a scary experience.
