[PD저널=김승혁 기자] TvN’s belatedly mistranslation of’racial discrimination’ remarks <윤식당2>Why did he neglect the clip until now even though he recognized the mistranslation 3 years ago. Recently ended <윤스테이>The decline in viewership <펜트하우스>Was it because of the influence of?
As viewers’ pride in K-contents, which is gaining popularity worldwide, increases, voices say that foreigners’ use of entertainment programs needs to be checked. It is pointed out that despite the intention of narrowing the Korean experience and cultural differences, they are still unable to deviate from the perspective of’Gukpong’.
Ended 3 years ago in an online community on the 2nd <윤식당2>There was a controversy when a post was posted that distorted the remarks of foreign performers and added subtitles.
The problem is that a foreign customer visiting’Yoonsikdang’ in a Spanish resort in Garachico saw male performers such as Lee Seo-jin and said,’Here are gay Korean men’ and subtitled’There are handsome Korean men’. done. CJ ENM deleted the video as the controversy spread as the author’s claim that “a clear racism prejudiced against Asian appearances” gained sympathy.
However, it is known that CJ ENM has already recognized the mistranslation problem 3 years ago and uploaded a revised video to OTT such as TVING. It remains a question of why the clip videos that can be easily accessed through YouTube and Naver TV were left unattended.
<윤식당2> The’mistranslational subtitle’ is a big part of the attention given to the recent Asian hate crimes in the United States, but it also threw a topic on’so-called’gukpong entertainment’.
<윤식당>And recently ended <윤스테이> Most of the entertainment programs that foreigners appear in, such as, are programs that focus on the reactions of foreigners who have encountered Korean culture. JTBC <비긴어게인> tvN <현지에서 먹힐까> MBC Every One <어서와 한국은 처음이지> Looking at the back, the praise and surprise reactions of foreigners who have encountered Korean music and Korean food are repeatedly exposed.
The problem is that mainly the United States and Europe appear as overseas filming locations, and there is a large proportion of foreigners from Western countries appearing. For this reason, criticism has been raised steadily that it reflects the sentiment of longing for Western recognition.
Ended on the last 2 days <윤스테이>When looking at the nationalities of foreigners staying at Do Hanok accommodation, the proportion of Western guests was high. Although foreigners from Nepal, India, Mongolia, and the Philippines appeared in one team per synagogue and attempted to balance them, there were still many Western guests, including the United States, Britain, Italy, Canada, and France.
The Citizens’ Alliance for Democratic Press found that in 2019, in a survey that analyzed entertainment programs featuring foreigners, migrants from Western countries mainly appeared in programs on the subject of travel, and migrants from Southeast Asia mainly appeared in programs that reveal difficulties in life in Korea. Came out.
Popular culture critic Chung Deok-hyun said, “It’s a time when the public reacts sensitively to (racist remarks, etc.) <윤식당2> There seems to be a view to see it as’gukpon’ over the mistranslational controversy,” he said. “There is a need for standards for deciding that the content is’gukpon’, and (in the case of broadcasts with foreigners) respecting the culture of others It is important to contain,” he said.
As various cultural contents such as Korean music and movies have already been recognized for their competitiveness in overseas markets, there is an opinion that a program that is too conscious of foreigners’ gaze can be dismissed by viewers.
Kim Gyo-seok, a popular culture critic, said, “Unlike before, the consciousness that we should know our culture on our own has sprung up, and it seems that the discussion about’why depend on others’ eyes?’<윤식당> If a similar format is repeated after the series, there may be a lot of viewers who do not feel the freshness or pleasure very well.”
