On June 6, 2024, during the 2026 World Cup and 2027 Asian Cup football qualifiers in Hong Kong, three fans were taken away from the stands for not standing or turning away during the national anthem, leading to an arrest for 'insulting the national anthem.' This incident raises concerns about potential consequences in Taiwan if individuals fail to stand or show respect during the mention of the 'Legislative Yuan.' Japanese media personality Yabuta Akihiko expressed astonishment at the situation, highlighting the gravity of not showing courtesy during national symbols.
