“Oasis, Don’t You Want to Come to Korea?”… Criticism for Raising the Rising Sun Flag Ahead of Liberation Day

Recently, Oasis shared a short visual video on their official SNS with the caption, “Check out the new visuals of ‘Morning Glory’.” However, the scene in the video that depicts a rising sun closely resembles the design of the Rising Sun Flag, which is a symbol of Japanese imperialism and is regarded as a war crime flag. This resemblance drew criticism from domestic netizens, especially because the video was released shortly before Liberation Day, which amplified the outrage.
