Recently, China has increased their investments in Korean dramas. So even China is facing the Korean wave and is unable to stop the wave from cashing upon Beijing. China is actually trying to smear dirt on Korean dramas but releasing statements stating that watching Korean dramas can lead to legal issues. Their evidence is that one man got plastic surgery in order to recapture the love if his wife who "had fallen in love" with the male star of the drama Descendants of the Sun.
I hope fans in China will be smart enough to realize that this is just a bullshit attempt at controlling what media is able to be viewed in China. It's nothing new as the government likes to control everything especially in a place like China.

Stand strong and wave your country's flag: Tzuyu
Tzuyu is a Taiwanese idol in the JYP entertainment K-pop group Twice. Recently she appeared on a Korean variety show holding a Taiwanese flag alongside a Korean flag and there was a Japanese flag (members of Twice are multi-national).
There was a big outcry from Chinese netizens about this, a Chinese singer basically accused her of being an independent Taiwanese activist. Which is a huge no-no because a lot of mainland Chinese get butt hurt about that stuff.
Her group went on to win the Best New Performer award at the 30th Golden Disc Awards. She stated that there is only china and that she is sorry for her Taiwanese and Chinese fans. JYP Entertainment basically made her apologize to China. But this caused a lot of Taiwanese people to get angry because they felt like China was bullying her for showing her nationalism by waving her country's flag. I can see why since in the video the girl looks scared and a bit weak to be honest. Some people said that it was like watching a hostage video.
I truly feel sorry for this young woman and I wish her all the best.
On a side note, I am a full supporter for Taiwanese Independence, the Yellow Umbrella movement, and Tibetian independence. So I felt like JYP took a wrong turn with this "scandal" though business wise this was quite smart because he knows he gets a lot of cash from China by promoting Chinese girls in his companies groups. But he is selling out almost as worse as Michael Bay is.
