JTBC's new Drama 'Snowdrop' history Distortion controversy, which seemed to be lulled, again rose on the board and the suspicions were again lit.
Recently, it has been suggested that the Online community should put a complaint to lower the 'Snowdrop' subway advertisement. As the news that the Drama 'Snowdrop' advertisement was posted on the Seoul Subway Gassan Digital Station, it became a situation where the netizens shared the way to put complaints.
In addition, it is reported that Walt Disney Pictures +, which has entered the domestic OTT market, exclusively offers 'Snowdrop', and some argue that Walt Disney Pictures Plus should be boycotted. In particular, Walt Disney Pictures Plus is a global OTT, so there is a concern that it can instill a false historical consciousness in overseas viewers regardless of domestic public opinion.
Earlier, 'Snowdrop' was caught up in the controversy of history distribution as unfinished synopsis leaked before the promotion. The use of names and backgrounds that remind us of real people and backgrounds has become the beginning of the problem. The fact that JiSoo's name is "Youngcho" reminded me of "Chun Yeongcho", a democratization activist, and the background of the male protagonist "Jung Hae In" was "a graduate student from a prestigious Korean-American university" reminiscent of "a camellia spy manipulation case".
So, 'Snowdrop' has changed the name of the heroine from 'Youngcho' to 'Youngro' to solve the misunderstanding. JTBC also disclosed some of the contents of 'Snowdrop' and asked him to refrain from misleading public opinion by wrapping false facts about undisclosed Drama. Please recognize that it is an act that shrinks many creators who want to make good works and causes serious damage. "
This concern is not understood by viewers. The public, who have already suffered TVN 'Queen Cheorin' and SBS 'Chosun Gummasa', are still not suspicious. 'Chosun Gummasa' also denied history distribution before the airing, but it had to be abolished as the concern about history distribution became true in two times. The 'Queen Cheorin', which had been involved in various disputes since the beginning, could not avoid suspicions and criticism that it disparaged cultural heritage and national treasure values and undermined the reputation of certain people. 'Queen Cheorin' had to go to the station during the airing, such as changing the windbreaker to the windbreaker and the Andong Kimmun to the anthology.
Viewers who are surprised to grow up can not help but react with the lid of the pot. It is noteworthy how Snowdrop will answer the audience question in this issue.
