So, rather than going by angry, aggressive, just looking for a fight netizen comments, I read an article in a proper newspaper about this. The following comment caught my attention:
“Seo Kyoung-duk, a professor of general education at Sungshin Women’s University and an outspoken advocate of Korean Culture and history, on Tuesday expressed “deep concern” toward the issue.
Historical dramas released through global streaming platforms are watched by viewers around the world, meaning productions must not only ensure accurate historical research but also carefully consider ongoing historical distortion efforts by neighbouring countries, he said.”
Well, my response to that is unprintable, here, I’m pretty certain, so I’ll go with something else instead. Where are we heading to in the future with regard to this kind of (increasingly) online reaction to content of films, dramas, theatre, radio,etc., and its impact on future productions?
All I see is more and more restrictions/censorship,a reduction in projects that aren’t ‘safe’.
