NCT Taeyong is receiving flak in Japan after posting on his Instagram Story.
Here's why the idol is under fire.
Fans also stated that calling Taeyong "Anti-Japan" was unnecessary. They expressed frustration over Japanese people projecting hate, whenever idols mention or take pictures of Dokdo island.
"What's it going to do if they bash him? That's not even the issue here. They sure are confused. He's a Korean showing the Korean map. Why is it wrong?"
"Whenever celebrities take pictures of Dokdo, they always get hate on IG from Japanese people. When they wear Hanboks, they do the same."
"I just searched his name and it's a f**king sight. They're all calling him anti-Japanese and they're claiming Dokdo is theirs. Crazy people."
"The fact that they're making things up like how he's not being considerate of the Japanese members of his group is funny."
