It is reported that after the incident was exposed by Korean netizens on social media, it immediately triggered controversy in public opinion. Many Korean netizens criticized this that at the theme activities for the purpose of showing modern Korean history, it was very inappropriate to show the related uniforms of Japanese imperialist colonial periods. The place of this event, Zhendong, was exactly the place where Japan signed an unequal treaty with South Korea at that time, so the relevant disputes were further expanded.

According to reports, after the dispute, the Seoul City Government argued on the 25th that Seoul had previously discussed with relevant cooperative companies to allow the company to conduct clothing leasing business activities in this event. However, the related clothing that caused controversy did not be approved by the municipal government. It was prepared by the company and leased it at the event site. The Seoul Municipal Government also stated that there is negligence on site management, and it will also investigate the legal responsibilities of related companies' violation of contract matters.

Later on the 25th, according to "NEWS1" reports, relevant corporate legal representatives operating the clothing lease booth during this event apologized to the media reporter on this matter. The legal representative also said, "I think the more (more clothing for leasing), the better. We want to pursue various interesting things, and the result is big." He said that neither of him or company staff expected that related clothing would cause controversy. According to the "Seoul News" report, South Korea's largest spokesman Wu Yonghuan (transliteration) in the co -Democratic Party of the Wild Party (transliteration) asked the mayor of Seoul Wu Shixun during the press conference on the 25th: "Do you want to use the" pro -Japanese feast "to give it to Does the history of Seoul add Japan's color? "Wu Yonghuan asked Mayor of Seoul to explain the approval process of the event in detail and apologize to the citizens of Seoul on this matter.
