A crucial line ride in social life, Henry Lau was in crisis trying to get two lines.
Henry Lau, a Canadian born between Chinese Hong Kong and Taiwanese, has been a Super JuniorM member in Korea for more than a decade and has approached fans with a strange but pure appearance that can be shown in fluent Korean and foreign Yi Gi.
Henry Lau, who has appeared in the entertainment called 'real man' and raised his awareness, and SM entertainment, who was a former agency, was able to succeed in standing alone. Ishian and Gian 84, together with the 'three idiots' member, once led to the popularity of 'I live alone'. As a genius musician in 'Begin Again', he has definitely established himself as a universal entertainer who is good at his main job.
The problem arises in the area of activity, not his ability as an entertainer. Henry Lau, who has been taking dramas and entertainments in China while increasing his awareness and popularity as an entertainment in Korea, was no different from that of other China or China idols.
In 2018, he posted a post in his Weibo account supporting "One China" in the South China Sea territorial dispute. In October last year, he participated in the National Day celebration concert and wore a mask with "I love China" and "Oh Sung Honggi".
Henry Lau's "patriarch" made many people uncomfortable when China's attempts to subjugate Korean culture such as kimchi and hanbok reached the extreme of anti-Chinese sentiment. Henry Lau has gradually disappeared from Korea since last year because he has expressed his pro-Chinese tendency several times.
In fact, Henry Lau, a foreigner who has expressed affection for Korea, has only had a beautiful and cloudy eye, and there was a problem in addition to the pro-Chinese movement. He appeared in China's "Shishi Sekisui" plagiarism entertainment, "Hwangwangkung Life" and "Phantom Singer" similar entertainment, and recently appeared in China Street Dance entertainment "Low-drinking Shimu", which claimed Arirang as China's street dance.
Since last year, when China's Northeastern process has been overwhelmed by anti-China sentiment, Henry Lau's gaze has gradually changed to discomfort. On the 17th, the Seoul Mapo Police Station commissioned Henry Lau as a school violence prevention ambassador, and the two tightrope rides of Henry Lau eventually came to the surface.
As things worsened, Henry Lau posted a few apologies in poor Korean on Wednesday, causing another problem.
"Most of the time, I'm not uncomfortable with my actions or words, but I have people who are uncomfortable with my blood," and it was pointed out that the tone is blurred. As Henry Lau put on a racist frame by mentioning 'bloodlines', overseas fans accused the Koreans of cyberbullying Henry Lau.
Henry Lau, a member of the popular group Super JuniorM, had to be careful and aware of everything in the star Yi Gi, who watched from both Korea and China. Henry Lau ignored the mood and was unconcerned about political matters. Of course, the other side would be profit.
Henry Lau's agency said: "I am sorry that it caused confusion with incorrect notation and unrefined expression. I was so frustrated that I wanted to solve the misunderstanding first. "But the public's mind, which has already turned, is still cold.
