Ganapati’s statue in Korean song going viral, created a ruckus
The South Korean music group Blackpink has also received a lot of criticism for using Hindu statue of Lord Ganesha in a wrong way. The video is becoming very viral on social media and its views are increasing rapidly.
Actually, when Indian fans saw Blackpink’s new video Song How You Like That, their eyesight went to Ganesh Bhagwan’s statue in the video. Soon after, hashtags such as #Ganesha and #YGApologise started trending. After this, part of Ganesh Bhagwan was removed from the song and black colored cylindrical gas tank was used in place of that statue.

There have been such scandals before too
Let me tell you that this is not the first time that the feelings of Hindus have been hurt due to a South Korean song. Earlier in the year 2017, singer Lee Hyori performed the dance routine. Hindi Prarthana Gayitri Mantra was included in it. Followers of Hinduism also felt bad about this. The song was accused of tarnishing the image of Hinduism. During that time, Singer said in her defense that she does this because she is heavily influenced by Indian culture.
