So Nyeo Shi Dae 2nd minialbum cover controversy gets blown out of proportions

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

With regards to this post, I think it's not longer just the airplane that was scandalous.



As reported earlier, there has been issue with So Nyeo Shi Dae’s upcoming 2nd minialbum cover being controversial after netizens spotted out an image an airplane on the cover which seems too similar to that of the Japanese Type Zero fighter aircraft.

But the issue does not just stop there, now netizens are linking the incident to Nazi associations as well.


First, the hat and the brest eagle


~QUESTIONABLE~






Cross





FALSE
jia_zhang has pointed out that her cross is indeed the same as the Victorian Cross, and thus, netizens FAIL.



More comparisons:



Plus it has been pointed out that the print on the wing of the airplane printed on the album cover gives it away





There also also been heated argument over on Japanese forums about why the girls have to use such a controversial image on their album cover.

Netizens poked at the issue, “This is not So Nyeo (girls) Shi Dae (generation) but war crime shi dae”. While SM insisted that they had only want to aim the military marine look, and has no other meaning hidden to it.

Is this blowing out of proportion or not?

Meanwhile the girls will have their comeback stage on 26th June Music Bank.

Can't they be just happy with editing the plane? I understand that to some people these issues might be important, but this is ridiculous imo :/

[stuffedsushi.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY~

how do those netizens find time to research on that and all?
O______O IDRGI

i just don't understand why on earth SM decided to use Militar symbolism AT ALL.
especially in such a delicate moment in the korean peninsula.
*sigh*

I feel as though they are just looking for something bad now.
The United States use eagles everywhere
and you can't even clearly see the bottom of her eagle.

I'm not sure about the cross.
It seems a lot more complicated than anything the netizens pointed out.
Ggh. Who knows really.

I don't think the girls would go walking around
wearing anything with a Nazi symbol on it, to be honest.

[sweetlolliipop.livejournal.com]

So the eagle has nothing to do with Nazis apparently.
(After reading the 2S comments above.)
I hate the netizens.

HAHAHHAHA OMG STUPID. AND WITH THE SHORT SHORTS, THIS CONCEPT AIN'T WORKING OUT MAN!

[telrunyaaa.livejournal.com]

THIS my dear!

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

LOL. WHATEVER.

Someone should have looked into this concept first, and checked that there wasn't anything that could potentially harm the image of SNSD. :\
_{I'm sure SM has dealt with both fans and anti-fans, and he should know how sensitive they tend to be.}

Due to the uproar over this, I'm thinking it could harm album sales, unless SM redoes the whole thing (and pleases the oh-so-very-hard to please netizens).

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Most sensitive answer in this post. Thank you.

[sweetlolliipop.livejournal.com]

Good thing, too.
I'm so sick of certain people being hated on.

[jia-zhang.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS THIS!? GET A FREAKING LIFE YOU COMPUTER LEECH NETIZENS! They don't even know their freaking history to go about talking about things like that.

I gotta defend this Navy/Military look. 'Cause I love it. Uniform bias. They need to stop poking a hole through every freaking thing. God.

And for your historical facts, the reason the Nazis used the eagle as a symbol is because it was Zeus' symbol in ANCIENT GREECE and is a symbol meaning POWER. It's like flipping out on the Buddhist symbol that Hitler freaking corrupted. God. >_>; Stop using the internet and go read a book, Netizens.

[jia-zhang.livejournal.com]

And as for the "cross", it's the same military badge symbol used everywhere! Like the Purple Heart! Or the Victorian Cross! God, I hate it when people are morons. =_= At least you can wiki the damn thing.

[skadihelias.livejournal.com]

LOL WTF netizens need to get a life :/

They need to get better eyes too since the eagles don't resemble NAZI eagles that much. And those eagles are used like, EVERYWHERE. So do iron crosses.

Seriously, WTF?
