While the SBS Mon-Tue drama’Chosun Gumasa’ was abolished after two episodes due to controversy over history distortion, controversy arose in the JTBC drama’Snow Ganghwa’, which is scheduled to air in the second half of this year.
Seol Ganghwa, produced by JTBC Studio and scheduled to broadcast in June, is a drama set in 1987. As a male student in the activist circle found out, it was known that he was a South Korean spy and is being criticized. JTBC’s position is that the setting that’Nampan spies lead the democratization movement’ is different from the facts and has nothing to do with the production intention.
Seol Ganghwa attracted attention with actor Jeong Hae-in and Black Pink Jisoo. It deals with the love of Suho (Jeong Hae-in), a prestigious college student who jumped bloody into a female dormitory in Seoul in 1987, and Youngcho (Ji-soo), a female college student who hides him. Another issue was that it was the work of artist Yoo Hyun-mi and director Cho Hyun-tak, who made the topical work’SKY Castle’ in 2019.
However, criticizing public opinion was intense, saying,’The male protagonist, Suho, is the setting of a Nampa armed spy.’ It is argued that it is a drama that denies the history of the democratization movement in which activist college students were unjustly gathered as spies and tortured.
JTBC announced its position on the afternoon of the 26th to the controversy. JTBC said, “Solganghwa, scheduled to be broadcast in the second half of this year, is by no means a drama that defames the democratization movement and glorifies the Ministry of Security and Security and the espionage. All. It is a melodrama of young men and women who are sacrificed in that tornado.”
“As some of the unfinished synopsis was leaked online, various criticisms continued based on specific sentences without context, but this is only speculation.” “I reflected it on the character” and “Beautify the face of the eye” are not only different from the contents of Seolganghwa, but also completely irrelevant to the intention of production.”
JTBC said, “It is clear that the current controversy is irrelevant to the contents of the New Year’s reinforcement and production intentions,” he said. “In addition, please refrain from reckless criticism of the undisclosed drama.”
