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.'

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
