Netizens are still closely following health trainer Ray Yang’s constant online posts despite her inappropriate post on the March 1 Independence Movement Day .
Yang, 29, has not apologized for the Instagram post, but has instead continued to update her SNS account, posting photos of herself lifting weights, doing other exercises and showing her reflection in a mirror.
Yang’s SNS post on the statutory holiday showed her wearing short pants, high-heeled shoes, a long coat and looking grim as she holds a rifle with a grim face. She wrote about the meaning of the holiday and mentioned she had cried while learning about the day at elementary school.
She expressed respect for those who had died campaigning for Korea’s liberation from Japan’s Colonial Period (1910-1945).
But netizens criticized the photo because it appeared irrelevant to her purported patriotism. Yang deleted the post following the criticism.
