ENHYPEN’s Ni-ki is at the moment underneath fireplace for his feedback in regards to the March 1st Liberation Day in South Korea. Also referred to as the Independence Movement Day, it’s a traditionally essential day in South Korea.

On January 29, 2024, Ni-ki initially uploaded an encouraging message for followers. As it was a Friday the subsequent day, he instructed followers to hold in there a little bit longer. He accompanied a photograph of the night time sky with the caption “as long as you hang in there for tomorrow, it’ll be the weekend…hwaiting Engene. Heh.”

The subsequent day in query was March 1, a public vacation in South Korea. The day is supposed to commemorate the March 1 Independence Movement which befell in 1919. It is a vital a part of South Korean historical past, because it was a motion that known as for liberation from Imperial Japan and to cease the pressured assimilation into Japanese tradition. A fan had instructed Ni-ki that it was a vacation, to which he replied that he was jealous.

• Fan: Yeah, tomorrow is independence Movement Day, so we’re resting.
• Ni-ki: I’m jealous heh.

Things have been exacerbated as Ni-ki is of Japanese descent. Many in South Korea consider that the Japanese must be reflective and maintain remorse in direction of the Japanese occupation of South Korea, although it occurred generations in the past. While followers are extra forgiving, the general public has not taken to it kindly.
