Devastated! Chou Tzuyu donates 50 million KRW to South Korea for epidemic prevention, Chinese netizens complain "she did not donate a single penny to China"

Editor's Note: Chou Tzuyu was accused of supporting Taiwanese independence for waving a Taiwanese flag in 2016 and was forced to apologise to continue working in the entertainment industry. For the donation incident, she later clarified that she had also donated money to China when she made the donation to Korea.

(29 Feb)South Korean news reported that many Korean celebrities recently donated money to control the Wuhan coronavirus. Chou Tzuyu, a Taiwanese singer from the South Korean girl band TWICE, donated 50 million KRW to charity to purchase medical supplies. She said, "I wish everyone good health." TWICE's management company, JYP Entertainment, also donated 50 million KRW, "we hope to benefit frontline medical workers."

After Tzuyu's donation was announced, many South Korean netizens left happy comments: "Tzuyu's face and heart are beautiful", "Tzuyu is an angel", and "Tzuyu has a beautiful soul". Some commented, "Taiwan No.1".

However, her act of kindness also started trending on Weibo. Some Chinese netizens were dissatisfied that she "donated to South Korea but not China", and "she did not donate a single penny to China".
