It was found on the 16th that the representative search engine’Baidu’, called the Chinese version of Google, marked the poet Yun Dong-ju as Korean-Chinese. Suh Kyung-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women’s University, is requesting a correction from Baidu, such as sending a complaint e-mail.

According to Baidu on this day, when searching for’Yun Dong-joo’ (尹东柱) in Baidu, the person information of’Baidu Encyclopedia’ (百度百科) appears at the top. In this category, Baidu Encyclopedia marks the nationality of Yun Dong-ju as’China’ and the nation as’Chosun tribe’ (朝鮮族).

At the same time, the encyclopedia said, “Yun Dong-ju, a patriotic Korean-Chinese poet, was born into a teacher’s family in Longjing City, Jilin Province.” So he passed away at the age of 29 in Fukuoka prison on February 16, 1945.”

Professor Seo said that on December 30 last year, on December 30th, while protesting against Baidu on the date of his birth, Dong-ju Yun’s death date was also requested to be corrected again.

Professor Seo said, “It is more important not only to be angry with China’s distortion of history, but to tell us exactly what went wrong and ask us to correct it.”

In addition, Professor Seo said that the Chinese version of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia introduces historical great figures such as King Sejong and Kim Gu and Hallyu stars such as Kim Yu-na and Lee Young-ae as “Chosun tribes”. He pointed out that it is also a problem that it is written as’Chinese Korean-Chinese patriotic poet’.
