"Why are the names of TZUYU fan clubs?" The Chinese Jeongpung Movement, Taiwan and Hong Kong Celebrity targeted.
As the China entertainment industry's wind movement has intensified, there is an analysis that TZUYU, a member of the group TWICE, has also been affected.
The Jeongpung Movement () is a party member activity reform movement advocated by Mao Zedong to effectively develop the struggle within the party of the China Communist Party, which means educating party members, organizing party organizations, and renewing the party's spirit. Currently, President Xi Jinping is implementing strong regulatory policies throughout society to strengthen the influence of the Communist Party.
According to the Taiwan media, including Free Time magazine, on August 31, the Weibo (China SNS) fan club of TZUYU said on the previous day that it had received a notice from Weibo to change the name of the fan club. According to the notice, the "bar" should be subtracted from the name of the fan cafe, which means bar, which means the meeting behind the name of TZUYU.
China City reported that the TZUYU fan club had to revise its account within two weeks according to the government policy, so it posted an article to consider it with its members, but the sentence was deleted shortly after. There is speculation that the blade of the China Jeongpung movement will be directed toward Celebrity from Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is interpreted that it is highly likely to suppress the famous people who support Hong Kong and Taiwan independence in order to solidify the 'One China' declared by the Chinese Communist Party.
In 2016, TZUYU was attacked by the 'Taiwan Independent Molecule' by the Chinese netizens while waving the Taiwan flag on MBC entertainment program 'My Little TV'. TZUYU apologized with the video saying "China is one" and Park Jin-young, head of JYP Entertainment, TZUYU agency, also apologized through the official website.
The strong regulation of China's government on Celebrity and fandom culture began in earnest in May. At the time, fans of an idol audition program abandoned 270,000 milk contents that included the voting QR code to support their favorite trainees. The National Cyber Information Pandem Office (CAC) warned that if idol fandom acts irrationally, it will strongly regulate it, and the problematic entertainment program was discontinued. As President Xi Jinping enforced the ban on food waste last August, the case of milk waste was strictly handled.
In addition, CAC deleted more than 150,000 posts posted online, including articles, photos, and videos, and closed 4,000 related accounts as part of the crackdown on idol fan clubs in August. It also banned the announcement of Celebrity popularity rankings, spending money to support minor Celebrity, and paying for entertainment programs.
There are two main reasons why the China Communist Party strongly suppresses Celebrity and fandom culture. The Communist Party uses its hugely influential stars to strengthen the Communist Party's spiritual power and prevent young people from attempting to escape socialist ideology. Popular China Celebrity expressed its willingness to support anti-US aid, support for Xinjiang cotton, and Hong Kong police in line with the Communist Party policy. China Idol, who is active in Korea, also shared a message of support from the Communist Party to SNS and was hit by domestic netizens.
On the other hand, the gap between the "joint wealth" state policy emphasized by President Xi Jinping and Celebration, which enjoys luxury life, is considered to be a strong regulatory cause. The popular Celebrity, which receives astronomical contributions, is displeased with the situation that it is necessary to reduce the gap between rich and poor and to live well together and trigger charity donations of China billionaires.
For example, actor Jung (), who is accused of tax evasion, was fined about 54 billion won, and top actor Zhao Wei () also disappeared from his work information and history online after allegations of tax evasion were raised. Chris (Chinah name Wuypan), who is from Exo who is arrested by Beijing prosecutors for sexual assault and is under formal arrest investigation, and actor Jang Je-han (who took a picture of the background of the Yasukuni Shrine) are also uncertain about their future activities in the entertainment industry.
