Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University pointed out on the 31st that "'Squid Game 1' was released, and that in China, 'stolen city hall' is now a daily situation' and that it is even more appalling that we don't feel any shame.'
In particular, Professor Seo criticized that `It is also a big problem that the Chinese authorities have used the portrait rights of Korean Wave stars appearing in K-content in China so far, made fake products, and sold them as their profit structure.'
On the Chinese content review site Douvan (豆瓣), the review screen of 'Squid Game 2' was created even before its release, and more than 60,000 reviews are currently left. During the last Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese authorities conducted a strict crackdown on their citizens to prevent the protection and illegal distribution of intellectual property rights regarding the Olympic mascot 'BingDun'.
Professor Seo said "It's not that the Chinese authorities don't know like this. "It is true that we have overlooked the 'illegal viewing' of K content even though we know it so far," he said. "The Chinese authorities must first respect the contents of other countries and must crack down on the illegal activities of their citizens."
