KPOP is now very influential. Once Europe and the United States were KPOP insulation regions, it has also been affected. China has been influenced by the Korean Wave since the H.O.T period. Many Korean artists have a high reputation in China, and the album sales of KPOP artists account for a large proportion.
We don’t know how fans from other countries chase stars, but for Chinese fans who follow KPOP artists, we must keep our eyes open. What artist can chase and who cannot chase, we must grasp the bottom line. Previously, Lee Hyo Lee's inappropriate comments on variety shows angered Chinese fans, from the female artist who was once respected by Chinese netizens to no one now. As an entertainer, idol, and actor, just do your job well. Don't touch politics, but touch the bottom line of fans from other countries.
was Lee Hyo-ri last time, this time it was BTS, improper remarks once again touched the bottom line of the Chinese. In August of 2020, BTS won an award in the United States, which is the "2020 Van Fleet Award". Even if you get the prize, the speech of BTS member Jin Nanjun made Chinese netizens very angry. He said: "It is a great honor to receive the xxx award. We will always remember the pain and sacrifice our two countries have experienced together."
Earlier, in a certain video, BTS members described Taiwan as a country, which originally caused dissatisfaction among many Chinese netizens. This time the award-winning speech was once again fermented, which completely angered the public. Many people have not realized the seriousness of the matter, but they can know by looking at the endorsement of BTS. At present, Samsung, Hyundai Motor, FILA and other products related to BTS have been removed from the shelves in China. It is not everyone who resisted, but these brands immediately removed them by themselves. The
brand responded so quickly, it can be seen that the seriousness of the matter is very great. The brand is not stupid and will not lose a Chinese market for an idol group. Regarding BTS members' acceptance speeches, the most chilling thing is not BTS's remarks, but fans who have no bottom line in chasing stars. Is BTS's award-winning remarks wrong? No! Because they are Koreans, such remarks have no objection to them.
Their mistake is, as an idol to touch politics in public is an absolute mistake. I still remember the British comedian Ricky Gervais, who was the host of the 77 Golden Globe Awards in 2020, reminded the winning stars: If you win, please don’t use this as your political speech platform, because you are not qualified to educate. People, you know nothing about the real world. Please take away the small trophy, thank your family, agent, and company and "get out" immediately (get out is a humorous saying).
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Even the most venomous European and American film and television circles know this truth. Don't believe that a boy group that develops overseas markets does not understand it! BTS’s remarks are not wrong to them, because we will never be people from the same standpoint, but some Chinese fans will blindly defend and clarify after knowing the truth. This is the most chilling.
Since some people are involved in the Choi Siwon , let’s see how Choi Siwon’s Chinese fans solved it at the time? He was asked to apologize as soon as the incident came out, and the personal bar was immediately disbanded. They are also Chinese fans, and the way they deal with problems is completely different. Cui Siwon’s personal behavior was also linked to SM by his fans. As far as I know, SM is still the first company that dared to write Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in CHINA on ins. At that time, SM was scolded badly on ins. There is no change.
SM cannot ensure that every artist respects others, but SM respects Chinese fans the most artists, and it is also the company with the most Chinese idols. Children from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, wherever they speak, the prefix is "China". So please do not give the pot to SM.
