JTBC Dramas are on the rise in succession, with a focus mostly on the Communist Party, including democratisation denigration and The Spies beautification. Ironically, they all had something in common that they had received investments from China's companies.
JTBC's new Saturday Drama 'Snowdrop fortified Snowdrop' (playplayed by Yoo Hyun-mi and director Cho Hyun-tak, hereinafter referred to as 'Snowdrop') has not shown any signs of turning off the fire. The topic is mainly related to historical Distortions such as the democratization movement, The inner part, and The Spies beautification. Viewers strongly criticized the fact that in 1987, they had room to indulge in the violence of The inner part, which took students and tortured and murdered them because they could be The Spies. This is because the object they are chasing is actually the South Paik agent Lim Soo-ho (Jung Hae In). If you do it wrong, you could give the wrong belief that The inner part did the right thing.
Therefore, the audience's explanation that "The Spies, which lead the democratization movement, do not exist" is ridiculous. It is understood that the consent of the petition demanding the suspension of 'Snowdrop' exceeded 330,000 people on the 22nd.
JTBC Drama's history Distortion controversy is not the end here. The sequel, "Until the Morning Comes Up" (playplayed by Park Shin-gyu and director Lee Jung-hyo) has already been in trouble for allegedly attempting to glorify the Communist Party once. "Until the morning comes" is a process of drawing hidden truths through a profiler trying to grasp the truth with the national forensic forensic scientist, The Suspect, in the process of shooting in the middle of a peaceful city center and the terrorist The Suspect being caught and interrogating it. It is based on the novel "The Long Night (Nightly Dwarf)", by the author of China Tsujincheon.
In particular, the problem is that the "long night that is hard to move" has been criticized locally for promoting Chinese President Xi Jinping. The novel shows how corrupt China's society was through the story of the protagonist who devoted his life to revealing the truth. I wonder how these novels could have been published in China on the outside, but the problem is here. The process of changing China was based on President Xi Jinping's policy to fight corruption. As soon as the book was published, the China government actively promoted it through various media, and local netizens questioned whether it was a novel produced by the government for propaganda.
The author of the original author, Tzujincheon, also made a controversial remark: "Those who shout Hong Kong independence have no proper jobs and are lazy. "People who suddenly say that they will become a revolutionary one day," he said, ridiculing the activists who tried to democratize Hong Kong.
As such, JTBC's two works were caught up in the controversy over the beautification of the Communist Party in succession, and the production company JTBC Studio, which produced the two Dramas, attracted attention. JTBC Studios had previously invested 400 billion won in October last year, with three companies that have invested in China's IT company Tencent. Tencent received a 7.2% stake in a total investment of 100 billion won.
There is one more piece that has collected topics after China's investment: SBS 'Chosun Gummasa', which tasted the humiliation that was abolished early due to the controversy over history distribution in March. The production company was YG Studio Flex, which also received investment from Tencent, which held a 12% stake when Drama was produced. Of course, both Snowdrop and Chosun Gummasa explained that they were not "invested in China capital," but the suspicion is not easily erased. In fact, 'Chosun Gumasa' was controversial because it painted Chungnyeong (Jang Dong-yoon), which later became Sejong, as a complex figure, or appeared in succession of Chinese food bottles and fidan, Chinese dumplings and liquor bottles. Among them, Drama, the subject of President Xi Jinping, is natural that the public can not easily erase the suspicion.
