“I’ve decided to support her now.”
MEOVV‘S Narin recently posted a message to fans that touched on a controversial topic.
Narin spoke about her birthday which falls on the National Liberation Day of Korea. Known as “Gwangbokjeol,” the national holiday commemorates the liberation of Korea from Japanese rule in 1945.
I think every season has its own special charm! However, I like summer the most! Maybe because my birthday is in summer? My birthday is August 15th! It is also Liberation Day! So, it is always very hot on my birthday.
Speaking of Liberation Day, it reminded me that there is also a Taegeukgi (Korean flag) in my personal teaser! Did you know? In my personal teaser, there is a Taegeukgi in a classroom-like environment, and the concept of that place is “outdoor classroom”. It’s a fresh concept, so it stands out in my memory.

Korean netizens were impressed that Narin mentioned both Liberation Day and Taegeukgi in her message, which could potentially upset Japanese fans due to her controversial history. In doing so, netizens believe that her displays of Korean pride make them want to support her even more.
- “She’s nice”
- “Really nice”
- “She seems nice”
- “So incredibly nice”
- “She’s so nice, I support her”
- “So nice”
- “Who cares what Japanese fans say? Lol anyway, I like Narin so much”
- “Why is there interest… I mean, sure, people may be interested, but isn’t it important to be careful with Japanese fans in such sensitive times?”
- “I don’t know much about ‘Meow,’ but I’m going to listen to her song because it’s so cute.”
- “Very nice!!!! I decided to support her”
- “Very nice, let’s go and make ‘Meow’!!!”
- “Why is mentioning Liberation Day a problem? We gained independence from Japan, right? Her birthday is Liberation Day. Go Narin!”
- “If Japanese fans are sane, there should be nothing to feel bad about. It’s just a fact. If it makes them uncomfortable, they shouldn’t be interested in K-pop.”
- “What’s the matter? Those Japanese who are angry about this are crazy.”
