‘Chosun-gu Massa’, a controversy over history distortion

A scene being criticized among netizens

The drama’Chosun Gumasa’ has been criticized for serious distortion of history since its first broadcast.

In the SBS drama’Chosun Gumasa’, which aired for the first time on the 22nd, Chungnyeong (played by Jang Dong-yoon), who will later become King Sejong, is depicted on his way to the Vatican to pick up a Catholic priest.

The biggest problems pointed out by netizens are the appearance of Chungnyeong Daegun listening to the bride’s interpreter to speak with him, the scene where the interpreter instructs Chungnyeong to call a gisaeng, and the scenes where the gisaengs wear Hanbok and eat traditional Chinese snacks such as mooncakes and pidan at a feast.

Netizens said, “The interior of the Gisaeng house, songs, and even the shape of the lanterns are Chinese style”, “Why do you eat mooncakes leaving Yugwa, Yakwa, and Gangjeong that still exist. Why don’t you want to appeal to Korean food that still exists, and buy Chinese coins?” There are people who say, “It’s close to China, so it might be,” because it’s in Uiju province, but that’s because we see it nicely. “Is it all over China?” he pointed out.

On the homepage of’Chosun Gumasa’, there are continued postings of protests from netizens, such as “Stop the formation of historical distortion dramas”, “Do the Northeast process properly”, and “A public drama is a historical distortion”.
