Meanwhile they use USA, Japan, European, Egypt backgrounds etc no problem in their stories
Aigoo don't even get me started with MURIM That's a big part of the action community webtoon / novel in South Korea and that's Chinese based why did they leave that alone but made a fuss with this story
Don't even get me started with Kimchi hahahaha I remembered them bashing these popular Chinese YouTuber for kimchi. They had to change so many things online to make sure Kimchi is exclusively Korean originated and nobody else's. They would include it in most of their dramas and stories to make sure it's stamped in everyone's mind that it's from Korea only I thought kimchi was some amazing food with all these fights so I tried it and was disappointed I gave it a chance and tried many different restaurants that are Korean owned with Korean chefs and boy oh boy I don't get what's the big deal.. No offence it's just not to my taste but everyone spoke of it like everyone will love it so.. I got off topic lmao
its not racist to acknowledge the deep anti-chinese sentiment many koreans have. they are extremely nationalist and even dismiss chinese culture as being an appropriation of korean culture. as we can see with what happened to this manhwa many still have this supremacist attitude, like how dare a story take place in china and not korea?
