“New Jeans Poka costs 1,000 won” China is being criticized for making counterfeits with K-content

Seo Gyeong-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, reported this situation on the 7th and said, "Recently, many K-pop fans at home and abroad have made common reports, and upon checking, many products were being sold as counterfeit products."


He continued by pointing out, “Until now, it has become routine in China to illegally download and ‘thief watch’ K-dramas popular around the world, such as ‘The Glory,’ ‘Squid Game,’ and ‘Wooyoung Woo.’” In particular, he added, “What’s even more shocking is that they have freely used the image rights of Korean Wave stars who appeared in dramas and made and sold counterfeit products to make a profit.”
In addition, he said, “Now, our consumers also have to be alert. Above all, it is a time when the government needs to take active action,” adding, “We should not only focus on creating good content, but also on building a good system that can be protected around the world.” “We will have to use more,” he emphasized.
In addition to Professor Seo, criticism has been pouring in from all over, pointing out China's recent behavior.
