GFriend band member deletes photos taken on video shoot with figure dressed in German military uniform

The K-pop artist Sowon has apologised after images appeared online of her posing with a mannequin that was dressed in a German military uniform from the days of Nazi rule.

Sowon, a member of the female band GFriend, was shown cuddling the mannequin in now-deleted photos that were taken in late 2020 while the group were filming a video in the South Korean city of Paju.
