After #BTS, Chinese Netizens Attack South Korean Pop Idols #MAMAMOO and Designer #LeesleHwang
After BTS, Chinese netizens attacked a South Korean girl group, MAMAMOO, claiming that the group had "embezzled Chinese culture" for having "Chinese characters" on their clothes in a show hosted by the South Korean television channel KBS on Dec 18, 2020.
South Korean designer Leesle Hwang was also attacked by Chinese netizens and was demanded to "explain her doing". Hwang responded that the said costumes is a modern rendition of Hanbok, Korean tranditional costume. The words on the clothes read “Hunmin Jeongeum”, a document issued by King Sejong the Great in 1446 that introduced the script of the Korean language, Hangul.
Hwang asked back why one has to explain when Koreans are wearing Korean costumes and Korean scripts. “Was Sejong the Great year Chinese?” Hwang asked.
