‘Joseongu Masa’ is taking steps to abolish it.
As a result of an interview with Hankyung.com on the 26th, PD Shin Shin-soo, the director of the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama’Chosungu Masa’, turned to the cast from the evening before and mentioned the possibility of abolition. Although the abolition has not been officially confirmed yet, it is known that it will be decided and released in the morning of the 26th.
If the abolition is confirmed, it will be the first Korean drama to be stopped due to historical distortion after only two broadcasts. In particular, it is evaluated that it was the first case in which viewers, who had previously expressed their displeasure with the Korea Communications Standards Commission and the Blue House National Petition, wrote a’boycott list’ and cut off production support by directly pressing advertisers and sponsors. .
‘Joseongu Masa’ is a drama about Taejong and Chungnyeongdaegun, who will later become Sejong, fight against evil spirits in the Joseon Dynasty. PD Shin-soo and the cast both said at the production presentation that “there was no history distortion,” but from the first broadcast, Taejong was portrayed as a murderer who slaughtered the people, and controversy about history distortion arose, such as Chungnyeong serving as a priest in Guma.
In addition, even small items with clear historical materials were exposed in a Chinese style, igniting the growing anti-Chinese sentiment due to the recent Northeast process.
In the end, as soon as the first broadcast was over, a request to stop broadcasting was posted in the Blue House National Petition, and even a petition to withdraw the terrestrial permission of SBS, which was conditionally reapproved last year, appeared. There was even a boycott of the advertiser and production support centered on one place, and all advertisers except the production company started’stop loss’. Eventually, it was the situation that the first commercial-free drama would be broadcast.
The production of’Chosun Gumasa’ and SBS repeatedly apologized, and they announced that they will reorganize and reorganize for a week. However, criticism was poured out as it became known that WeTV, a video streaming site affiliated with Tencent in China, introduced’Chosun Gumasa’ as’a drama based on the historical facts of North Korea’s founding. The production crew said that the part would be revised, but the revised part only changed from “North Korea” to “Chosun,” and it was confirmed that the phrase “historic facts” remains the same.
Moreover, as it became known that the founding of Joseon was made through a deal with evil spirits during the later broadcast of’Chosun Gumasa’, and that Chungnyeong became a Guma ritual, the antipathy toward’Chosun Gumasa’ grew even more.
In the end, it seems that’Chosun Gumasa’, which was in the process of filming at the end, was caught by abolition.
