Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, "A Korean living in Bandung, Indonesia recently reported, and he introduced it as 'Chinese traditional dance' while using a picture of a fan dance in an event promotional material hosted by an institution."
Professor Seo added, `In order to correct this, the Chairman of the Korean Association in Bandung has eliminated all promotional materials posted on social media in protest against the organization concerned.'
Last year's Lunar New Year was controversial when Chinese fans danced a fan dance in front of numerous foreign tourists at a large parade event in Chinatown, New York.
In addition, at the same time, the NBA's Denver Nuggets home stadium introduced a performance of Chinese people dancing a fan wearing hanbok, which was also controversial.
Above all, the biggest problem is that China's largest portal site, Baidu Encyclopedia, distorts the fan dance as 'Chinese folk traditional dance'.
Professor Seo emphasized, "It is important to change what is marked as 'Chinese' throughout the world to 'Soundary', but it must be corrected if people around the world misunderstand the fan dance as a Chinese dance."
In particular, he will carry out a more diverse campaign to promote our fan dance to the world in the future" he said.
