Henry Lau is out of the eyes of domestic fans. It is because he has publicly expressed his support for China, who has moved to China since he became famous in Korea. On the 17th, Seoul DJ Maphorisa Police Station has been protesting since the ceremony for the promotion of school violence prevention ambassador.
“Henry Lau recently announced a full-scale activity at the Seoul DJ Maphorisa Police Station (chief Bae Yong-seok) with a ceremony to appoint a public relations ambassador for school violence prevention,” Monster entertainment said on the 17th.
Henry Lau said, “I usually like children and have created a variety of contents with young people. I am very honored to be able to participate in the prevention of school violence in earnest.” “Everyone will do everything possible to help me enjoy school life.”
Since the night, DJ Maphorisa Police Department's free bulletin board has been followed by voices criticizing Henry Lau and the police station. As of the morning of the 18th, more than 100 posts have been posted. “I don’t understand why Henry Lau, who has a friendly attitude toward school violence, was chosen as a public relations ambassador for school violence prevention,” one citizen said, adding, “I hope you will replace the public relations ambassador quickly.”
Henry Lau, who made his debut through Super Junior M in 2008, was active in Korea and China. Along with the title of 'Music Genius', it was well received for its constant efforts to improve its skills. In addition, it became popular with its appearance and cute and cute charm, and it became the number one target for entertainment program.
But the domestic public opinion on Henry Lau is cold at the moment. He seems to have not read the domestic atmosphere, which has been hit by extreme anti-China sentiment over the controversy over kimchi and Hanbok and the suspicion of biasing the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Henry Lau's 'friendly move' has been fueled by the public mind. Earlier, he congratulated China's national holiday through SNS and YouTube, posted a violin performance video called 'I Love You China', and Henry Lau's official Weibo account posted a post to support 'One China' at the time of the territorial dispute in South China.
In the China entertainment program 'Low-Gishing Shimu 4', which he appeared in, the Korean traditional pansori 'Arirang' and 'Hungboga' appeared as if it were a traditional song of China, but it was praised.
This controversy has only been raised once last month. Many online communities have posted claims that Henry Lau manages YouTube comments. The author raised suspicions that his YouTube channel comments deleted the comments on China and China in real time, but left the comments on the Korean people in the same way.
The intention to take the lead in public interest activities was good, but the results were bitter: with Henry Lau's suspicions of friendship rising, the firestorms splashed into the wrong place. The bulletin board at DJ Maphorisa Police Station is filled with anger from some netizens, but Henry Lau remains silent.
