One of the comments on the Internet has spread to the’name aid debate’ of a popular Chinese actress, and the background is drawing attention.
The point is that while introducing Chinese actor Jang Su-ying (江疏影35, photo), it was marked as’Kang So-young’, which is the only Korean pronunciation, not Chinese pronunciation. Jang Soo-ing has also recently increased Korean fans as the lead drama’Only Thirty’ was serviced on Netflix.
If you enter’Kang So-young’ in the search window of the actual portal site, it appears as Kang So-young (Jangsuing 江疏影).
The reason Jang Shu-ing became a problem online in China was when some of the comments of domestic netizens who watched this drama became known in China.
In comments related to the drama, some netizens wrote, “Why is Jangsu-ing (Kang So-young) Korean?”, “The name is Korean, but it seems that it is a descendant of our people who were captured by the Cheong during the Joseon Dynasty.

This comment was translated into Chinese and spread to China online. After seeing it, Chinese netizens showed sensitive reactions such as “Koreans are trying to steal Chinese actors because they can’t steal Chinese culture”, “I aim for Hanbok and New Year’s Day, and now even actresses. .
Popular drama blogger Bachutsu Guasusu (八組吃瓜蜀黍) with 6.7 million followers said, “Hanja is yours, acupuncture is yours, 3 of the 4 inventions are yours.”
On the morning of the 23rd, Weibo’s hashtag “#Korean netizen “Jangsu-ing is a Korean name” (韓國網友稱江疏影是韓國名字)#” exceeded 900 million clicks in one day.
When the situation turned out like this, Jang Shu-ying posted a phrase from the Song Dynasty poem “Little Plum Blossoms in a Mountain Garden,” saying that he was Chinese.
Meanwhile, the conflict between South Korean and Chinese netizens began to heighten from BTS’ remarks in the Korean War. Since then, controversy about the aid of kimchi came out, and controversy over Hanbok and Korean-Chinese people in Yun Dong-ju were raised one after another.
