K-netizens react to tripleS Xinyu's comment, 'Macao, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are a part of China'

tripleS member Xinyu is garnering attention for her alleged "political statements" on the private messaging platform fromm. 

The idol wrote, "I'm not that strict. I mean, Macao is actually part of China. So is Hong Kong and Taiwan. Why, do you think I'll get a scolding for saying this? Did I say something wrong? If you don't agree with me, don't subscribe to my fromm."

Xinyu, born in Beijing, China, is the 15th member of tripleS and is a part of the tripleS units LOVElution and Visionary Vision. Her group also includes member Nien, whose possesses dual Taiwanese/Vietnamese citizenship. 

Korean netizens reacted to the tripleS member's comments with responses like,

"I guess she wants to quit being an idol in Korea soon. She's already building up her image for a career in China."

"This is why we don't stan Chinese idols."

"Hope you've booked your flight back to China girl."

"So many Chinese idols are ignorant about what political statements are acceptable in Korea. It just goes to show how much they look down on Korea and Koreans."

"She's gonna book it out of tripleS the moment she gets a solid offer from a Chinese agency."

"Stop adding Chinese members to idol groups!! They just want the fame and prestige of being a 'former K-Pop idol' before they go back to China to become a top celeb."

"There's no such thing as a Chinese idol with politically neutral views. There are only those who got caught saying what's on their minds and those who haven't been caught yet." 

"I've never seen an idol enforcing their political views on fans like that."

"Wow if you're gonna spew that kind of nonsense, go back to your country and do it to those ignorant people there."
