Korean netizens reacted to the drama: Many felt that they were unfairly being dragged into the controversy. Meanwhile, others claimed that all Northeast Asian countries were to blame for treating SEA this way.
- “Fight among yourselves. Why do you always drag Korea into it, you idiots?”
- “Who even are you? Go fight at your own place.”
- “Why are we suddenly being dragged into this? The best answer to Southeast Asia is to just ignore them.”
- “People in Southeast Asia need to realize that Northeast Asia treats them like that across the board.”
- “Just leave Korea out of it already, you empty-headed idiots.”
- “They’re all Japan-obsessed weebs anyway lol. They probably firmly believe ‘our beloved Japan would never do that ♡.’ Just idiots.”
