A music video by Korean pop group 2NE1 is said to be anti-Japan.
The video "Hate You", already garnering more than 10 million views on Youtube, is causing controversy, especially among the Japanese.
This comes as many Japanese are protest against the Korean wave, or Hallyu, invading Japan.
The video, done entirely in the form of a cartoon adventure, depicts a nuclear plant exploding at the start, which netizens say resemble the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor.
Near the end of the video, the cartoon selves of the Korean group also slays a monster with a red dot on its forehead. Some netizens point out that this may be taken to symbolise Japan.
