SNSD's Tiffany is currently under fire for her controversial post on the eve of Korea's National Liberation Day
Over the weekend, Tiffany went on a social media spamming spree following the Aug. 13 "SM TOWN Live World Tour V" concert at the Tokyo Dome, where she and her group Girl's Generation/SNSD performed...On Sunday, she initially posted a photo with her labelmates on Instagram and used the emoji for the Japanese flag...on her Snapchat @stephanieyoungh, the singer then uploaded a photo with the Japanese Confederate flag , also known as the Rising Sun flag or Imperial flag. 
The Rising Sun flag, which remains in use today, is a reminder of the war crimes and imperial aggression committed by Japan during the second World War for the country's neighbors, including Korea, which was a Japanese colony from 1910 to 1945...
...Tiffany has since deleted the Snapchat post, but fans and netizens have taken to social media to blast the SNSD member for sharing the image on the eve of Korea's National Liberation Day, which is on Aug. 15.
"Even if she's a foreigner, she's been working in our country for 10 years and she should know that today is National Liberation Day, it's marked red on the calendar. How can you put up the Japanese Confederate flag on that day?" wrote one netizen on Nate...more...

LOL, anything to rile up the overly sensitive K-interwebz.

Wait, so the American South (with which I am familiar thanks to that excellent documentary series "Dukes of Hazzard", yeehah!) brutally occupied the North, enslaving its women etcetera?

Surely a better analogy would be the Union Jack in whatever form it was in during the late 18th/early 19th century?

The Union of the Crowns of Great Britain and of Ireland was on 1 January 1801, so I suppose early 19th century is technically correct. As is "late 18th century" to signify the period after 1 May 1707.

This is the flag you seek. Not to be confused with the herring salad for a similar monarchic union.

Gotta love how she's being referred to as "a foreigner" here because of the oversensitive K-interwebs but she is "Korean" when it's convenient. I don't know her but I knew her older sister...and like some of my other friends with parents straight over from Korea, they weren't exactly encouraged to speak Korean at home (to be more 'merican) so I doubt she was instilled with the over-sensitivity and autohate for anything J-related. (quite the opposite, actually)
