Pritz K-Pop group wears quasi-Nazi uniforms

Few would question that K-pop is run like a factory, churning out idols and new pop groups like snacks for the loving public. While this is a bit fascist, it’s going a bit far to call it Nazi.

But some Korean pop stars themselves seem to like the Nazis, or at least elements of Nazi aesthetic.

Pritz is a minor Korean girl band comprised of four cute girls. And these girls just happen to wear black clothes and red and white armbands with a striking similarity to a certain unpopular former German political party. Surprise surprise, the foursome just got a whole lot more famous.

Needless to say, controversy has ensued about Pritz’s choice of costume at a concert earlier this month, with several articles in English already, including from Kotaku and the Wall Street Journal, plus plenty of discussion in Korea and Japan.

Here you can see the girls from Pritz in action. No frog marching, as far as we can tell.

Of course, inappropriate or naive use of Nazi insignia is frequently a cause for much cringing and wringing of hands in Japan as well. Remember Kishidan, whose sartorial curation led to much global consternation in 2011?

    I wonder how popular they would be if they wore the uniforms of the Japanese Imperial army from the Second World War? You know, the whole hubbub about “comfort women” and invasion thing.
