The recent conflict between netizens in Korea and China over kimchi.Of course, there was a controversy over singer Lee Hyo-ri.Lee Hyo-ri’s nickname “Mao!” was criticized by Chinese people for being reminiscent of Chinese political leader Mao Zedong. The reason why conflicts between the two countries are increasing in the field of pop culture?
South Korea and China share thousands of years of long history and values. Many elements evolved and melted into the genes of each country’s cultures. For example, China is composed of 56 ethnic groups, including ethnic Koreans. It is hoped that the two countries should regard kimchi as an element of ties, rather than an endangered species. We respect Lee Hyo-ri. However, I would like to consider the feelings of the Chinese people.I don’t think I’ll get it, so now I’ve got the logic of co-ownership.
