"Don't steal K-content" Seo Kyung-deok, criticizes China for mocking tattoo

Professor Seo Gyeong-deok criticized China's criticism of the face in the movie 'Graveyard'.

On the 13th, Seo Gyeong-deok said, "As Korean dramas and movies have received a lot of attention from people around the world in recent years, Chinese netizens' sense of inferiority seems to be growing day by day."

He continued, "Of course, healthy criticism is good. However, I would like to give one piece of advice to Chinese netizens: From now on, I hope they will stop secretly spying on K content."

Seo Gyeong-deok pointed out, “Until now, illegally downloading and ‘stealing viewing’ of content that is popular with people around the world, such as ‘The Glory,’ ‘Squid Game,’ and ‘Wooyoung Woo,’ has become a habit.”

In addition, he said, “They freely used the portrait rights of actors, made and sold counterfeit goods and used them as their profit structure, and above all, they even secretly stole and shamelessly assigned ratings.” He added, “I can’t say anything about K content.” “Rather, learn to respect other countries’ cultures first,” he said.

Earlier, a Chinese netizen mocked the facial makeup in the movie 'Bamyo' and said, "In China, writing or carving on the face is a very insulting and humiliating act." In response, Korean netizens expressed their anger by saying things like, “Bamyo is a Korean film. It has nothing to do with China,” and “Stop making unnecessary nitpicks.”

'Buried Grave' is an occult mystery film that tells the story of strange events that happen to geomancers, undertakers, and shamans who relocate suspicious tombs in exchange for a large amount of money. It recorded sales in 133 countries around the world, confirmed its release in major countries, and is expected to exceed 9 million viewers in Korea.
