K-pop star Chaeyoung apologises for wearing swastika logo

Member of girl group Twice says she didn't correctly recognise the meaning' of symbol on Sid Vicious T-shirt she wore

Chaeyoung, a member of Twice - one of the most globally successful K-pop groups - has apologised after wearing a T-shirt featuring a swastika.

The 23-year-old's T-shirt featured an image of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious wearing a swastika logo. She posted a photo of herself wearing it on her Instagram account to her 8.6 million followers, but soon deleted it, replacing it with an apology. I didn't correctly recognise the meaning of the tilted swastika in the T-shirt I wore," she wrote. I deeply apologise for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern. I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again."
