[스포츠서울 박효실기자] Once in kimchi, once in hanbok, in China, which caused an absurd aid controversy, this time, TVN’s Vincenzo’s’Chinese Bibimbap’ PPL is showing a reaction to the controversy that took place in Korea, saying, “It is absurd.
On the 17th, the English version of the Global Times, an English version of the Chinese government media, shared the reactions of Korean netizens to the Chinese PPL of’Vinsenzo’ and said, “Helping the difficult TV drama production with advertisements is cooperation with new capital.” He criticized the response.
WrittenThe Global Times reported on the 17th that “The latest episode of the popular Korean drama’Vinsenzo’ attracted attention not because of the story or the main character Song Joong-ki, but because of the Korean-style instant rice of a Chinese brand.”
In episode 8, which aired on the 14th Vincenzo (played by Song Joong-ki) buys the favor of Hwang Min-seong (played by Kim Seong-cheol), the head of Shinkwang Bank, and sets it up outside a rainy window to burn a child. Cha-young Hong (Jeon Yeo-bin) presented the Chinese bibimbap in question, saying, “Let’s eat something delicious while seeing something interesting.”
It is an instant rice of the brand ZIHAIGUO, and it has the Korean name’Bibimbap’. After the related content went on air, netizens said, “Would China have to put the Chinese PPL in Korean dramas in the midst of saying that they would wear Kimchi and Hanbok?” Bibimbap can be misunderstood as Chinese.”
In response, the Global Times reported the reaction of Chinese netizens. The media said, “A response came out to Weibo in China, saying,’Korea should know fortunately that Zhhaiguo did not show Sichuan-flavored hotpot. This is their own country, and you can’t even woo it.'”
He also expressed an opinion that he was too sensitive to simple production support. The media said, “One netizen said,’Isn’t it good for them? It provided advertising revenue to the difficult TV drama market,’ and another netizen said,’I see this as cultural exchange. We also watch Korean dramas and eat food. But it doesn’t make such a big fuss unless you’re insulted.’
When it was insisted that the origin of Kimchi and Hanbok was China, it seemed that it was a great culturally advanced country at any time.
Meanwhile, it is known that Studio Dragon and Logos Film, the production companies of’Vinsenzo’, decided to cancel the remainder of the Zhaiguo PPL, which was scheduled for a total of 4 exposures and 2 dining scenes after viewers protested.
