[아이뉴스24 서민지 기자] Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi’s smartphone wallpaper store has an image of Hanbok in Chinese culture, which is causing controversy.
According to the industry on the 15th, controversy is spreading around the online community for images recently uploaded to Xiaomi’s wallpaper store.
In this image, the figure of a man and a woman in Hanbok was captured. The problem is that the image is uploaded under the title of’China Culture’.
The wallpaper store is a platform that allows smartphone users to create and upload wallpaper images, and download and use them for a fee or for free. In order for content to be uploaded to the store, it must be approved by Xiaomi, which is creating an atmosphere of condemnation on Xiaomi.
Recently, China is continuing the so-called’Northeast Process’, claiming that kimchi and hanbok are their own traditions. As a result, domestic public opinion on China is deteriorating.
Xiaomi has been targeting the smartphone, wearable, and home appliance markets with’cost performance’. Even in Korea, it has a number of enthusiasts. However, if this controversy spreads, there is a possibility that it will spread to a boycott.
In fact, online voices such as “I haven’t bought it, but I don’t think there will be anything to buy in the future” and “I have to boycott Chinese products.
