Suzy Spotted Wearing A Pin That Supports Comfort Women To Fan Sign Event

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

miss A’s Suzy was recently seen wearing a “comfort woman statue” pin to an event, showing her support of some of the victims of World War II.

Suzy was seen wearing the pin, which depicts the statue meant to commemorate comfort women, at a fan sign event for sunglasses brand Carin at the Shinsegae Department Store in western Seoul. The young idol and actress wore the pin in a one-person show of solidarity for the comfort women, who are now grandmothers.

Suzy’s indirect statement comes just days after AOA’s Seolhyun and Jimin came under fire for not knowing the history of their country. However, Suzy has long been invested in the issue of comfort women; last year, she gained much interest after she was spotted using a phone case that featured one survivor’s artwork.




The issue of “comfort women” – victims of sexual slavery at the hands of Japanese soldiers during World War II – has long been a tension point between Japan and South Korea. Despite the deal brokered between the two governments late last year regarding the issue, Japan still has yet to act because their demands of the removal of the comfort women memorial statue, which sits outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul, have been flatly denied by Korea.

What are your thoughts on Suzy’s decision to wear the pin?

My charitable fav ❤

Ngl I'm such a huge Suzy stan that the moment I first saw the fansign picture I spotted and identified the pin because she has used and have been supporting the brand and the cause for a while now.

Also, I think that it was so unnecessary to bring AOA into it.

Why was AOA dragged into this article? Suzy wearing this pin has 0 to do with them.

That's great that she's showing support. 💕

That's a beautiful gesture and public support by someone like her is so important, especially since she's famous among younger generation.




The unnecessary AOA shade is unnecessary
