Super Junior M idol Henry Lau, a Chinese Canadian, has been loved by the public for appearing in various entertainment programs such as 'I live alone'. Although he has a lot of fans with his social and humanistic characters, some netizens have expressed discomfort with the selection of public relations ambassadors, pointing out that Henry Lau has recently made a friendly move.
Earlier in 2018, during the Youngtong dispute in the South China Sea, Henry Lau was criticized once for posting a Poster supporting 'One China' through his SNS. 'One China' is a principle that China continent, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are one, and therefore the legitimate China government is only one, which means that it does not recognize the sovereignty of minorities in China, including Hong Kong.

Some netizens have criticized him for his inconvenience in continuing his pro-China activities by expanding his activities to China in recent years.
"We are raising awareness in Korea and earning money in China," and "It is a little bit of establishing a person who supports 'One China' as a Korean ambassador."
