The China entertainment program has committed atrocities using photographs of domestic actors as portraits following plagiarism.
On the 15th, a Chinese entertainment program was reported to have used the photos of actor Son Ye-jin and actor and singer Seohyun as a portrait photo, making netizens absurd.
According to China media Sina Entertainment Report on the 14th (local time), a small piece that produced portraits of Korean female entertainers appeared in the 3rd episode of the entertainment program Secret Escape - Home of Darkness produced by MangoTV, and was in controversy.
Three of the eight photos in total show Son Ye-jin and one shows Seohyun. It seems to have synthesized the other face on the face of two people, but it can be clearly seen that Son Ye-jin and Seohyun are. The rest of the photos are also known to have used pictures of Japanese entertainers.
As the controversy erupted after the broadcast, the production team emphasized that there was no maliciousness and intentionality, saying that they sincerely apologize to viewers, netizens and artists who suffered difficulties through SNS on the 13th. In addition, the production team has deleted the scene from VOD, but the controversy is still continuing.
It is also surprising that the photographs of a living person were used as portrait photographs, but it was not intentional, but it is absurd to make such a mistake without consent. In the domestic entertainment program, you can see the photographs of the performers as portraits, which is a case of normal procedures agreed in advance.
However, 'secret escape - dark house' has not only consented but also used the photos of entertainers without permission.
Son Ye-jin's agency confirmed on the 15th that "Mango TV has taken action quickly after the controversy. “It was confirmed that the video posted on the official site and YouTube was taken against the scene,” he said.
“We are discussing how to respond,” he said. “We are internally discussing how it would be efficient and meaningful to respond.” Seohyun also said he was discussing the issue and how to respond.
China has been controversial because it has been plagiarism for domestic entertainment programs. Even when there were a series of cases of copying Korean popular entertainment programs such as JTBC's Hyorine's Homestay, JTBC's Hidden Singer, Abnormal Talks, tvN's Yoon Restaurant, Mnet's Produce 101, Showtime Money, and KBS 2TV's Hello, it made the domestic public absurd. In the China entertainment program, plagiarism is not enough, and the photos of domestic entertainers are used as portrait photographs, making the public more angry.
