Jungkook (BTS) propagates Japanese politics through a hat, causing outrage among netizens?

Jungkook posted on his global fan community Weverse about his incident. At the time, Jungkook was wearing a hat with the phrase "Make Tokyo Great Again."

The phrase was later interpreted by some news sites and forums as a slogan commonly used by right-wing politicians in Japan.

As the controversy escalated, Jungkook was quick to apologize. He said, "There are no excuses, no matter what the reason. I was careless and lacked judgment. From now on, I will think and act more carefully in every aspect.

I sincerely apologize for causing disappointment and discomfort to many people due to the phrase written on the hat I wore during the rehearsal. I deeply acknowledge that I lacked awareness in wearing something without fully acknowledging the historical and political significance of the phrase, and I take this matter seriously."
