"You stole it face-to-face" After the crisis of school violence in Jeon Jong-seo "Queen Wu", which is also a controversy over the historical evidence that Chinese characters laughed at

Aug 07, 2024

The TVing drama "Queen Wu" was on the rocks even before it started.

'Queen Wu' is a chase-action historical drama in which the sudden death of the king causes the prince to struggle to establish a new king within 24 hours after being targeted by princes seeking the throne and five tribes seeking power.

However, before the official release, promotional contents were released one by one, sparking controversy.

Although there are details such as the realization of a neck covering, which was rarely seen in previous Goguryeo background historical dramas, most of the characters' costumes are Chinese. In fact, Eul Paso's outfit is completely Chinese. At that time, Goguryeo's clothes were in charge, and Goguryeo and other Baekje and Silla used the Chougwan. However, Eulpaso is wearing a topknot on Wooim in Chinese style.

Unlike King Tae of Goguryeo wearing a five-colored robe, King Tae and the Queen in 'Queen Wu' are wearing yellow clothes similar to the Chinese emperor.

In addition, controversy over the testimony has arisen as it has been pointed out that the accessories and costumes of the characters will be seen in Chinese dramas in the Warring States era or the Jinan era.

In fact, in Chinese communities such as Douvan, sneering continues, such as 'I don't know why they steal and lose their nationality like this', 'Where did such armor come from in a poor place like Korea?', 'To the point where I can't see it with my eyes open', and 'It was made by Chinese people'.

Earlier, China was controversial for repeatedly making unreasonable claims about Korean celebrities and works. Ive Jang Won-young's The Phoenix Lady, New Jeans' Hanji, and BTS's Hanbok all drew outrage by criticizing them for copying Chinese culture. However, as the basis for refuting China's ridicule is weak this time, there is a growing concern that the previous controversies may be used for China's rationalization.

Will the leading actor Jeon Jong-seo, who took a breather while denying that he was caught up in the controversy over school violence, be recognized for his quality beyond the controversy over historical evidence. The work will be released on the 29th and will feature Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Moo-yeol, Ji Chang-wook, Jeong Yu-mi, and Lee Soo-hyuk.
