Oasis Again... Korean Fans Upset Over Rising Sun Flag Video

Oasis has once again rubbed Korean fans the wrong way ahead of their concert in Korea.

The band Oasis released a video on their social media on August 8. The video showcases a new visual interpretation of their hit song 'Morning Glory', displaying an original collage of images.

The problematic part of the video is the depiction of the sun, which features long lines radiating from a circle, reminiscent of the Rising Sun Flag. The Rising Sun Flag is a symbol of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, but it is also associated with the military flag used by the Japanese Empire during World War II, which is viewed negatively in Asia, similar to the Nazi swastika.

As a result, Korean fans are voicing their complaints by commenting on Oasis's account. Many fans are disappointed, especially since it comes shortly after Liam Gallagher of Oasis faced backlash and apologized for using the racist term 'Chingchong' against Asians.

Meanwhile, Oasis is set to hold their first concert in Korea in 16 years at Goyang Sports Complex on October 21.
