    Everglow Yiren's "Chinese greeting" controversy is causing further anger among Koreans.

    On the 8th, Chinese state media 'Observer Network' published an article titled, "Chinese girl group idol Wang Yi-ren was scolded by Koreans for not kneeling for New Year greetings and told to "Go back to China."

    They wrote, "Korean media reported on the scandal and said "Chinese traditions allow for bowing only to the heavens, earth and parents" but Koreans are in "denial" and won't accept it."

    The media outlet then revealed that prior to "Yiren incident" other Chinese idols working in Korea also encountered a similar situation but because "kneeling is highest symbol of respect in China" the idols had to use other methods. The reporter then shared list of active idols to include GOT7 Jackson, EXO Tao, and 2 Seventeen members who used "other" methods to avoid a "deep bow" when they attended various Korean programs and retorted, "forcing someone to kneel is considered "shameful."

    Chinese netizens who saw the article praised Yiren and stated, "Korea itself was a Chinese colony. The cultural traditions of colonies can be different however all slaves still had to get down on their knees."

    Another netizen stated, "Korea has long been a vassal state of China so it's natural for Koreans to be "on their knees" so I don't understand why they're causing such a fuss now under guise of "etiquette."

    I know whoever reported

    this as the Chinses netizens reaction is lying just to make even a bigger deal:

    Another netizen stated, "Korea has long been a vassal state of China so it's natural for Koreans to be "on their knees" so I don't understand why they're causing such a fuss now under guise of "etiquette."




    I mean those who instigate wars probably realized that forcing idols (with different cultures that don't allow kneeling) to kneel makes them the bad guys no matter how they justify it with etiquette. So in order to feel like the victim, they make these "Chinese netizens reactions"

    Why would they force people to bow

    Not even bow but kneel. Honestly seeing this is scary. I am glad I live in my own country that has my culture. I really feel bad for whoever lives in a foreign country and is forced to do things that are against their beliefs just for courtesy (yeah including foreigners in my country if they had to go through that).

    I thought they hated Japan too :wow:


    Man, how angry someone can be for not being greeted HNY 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

    It's honestly becoming ridiculous

    Quote from SooYoung

    it's not the country who have to get used to your own traditions and custom

    I don't see the Chinese idols telling the Korean idols not to kneel either so they're not telling the country to get used to their traditions but they're doing it to themselves only.


    I am baffled how we have Korean comments forcing Chinese idols to either kneel or get told this:

    "get on your knees or scr*w off back to China!"

    "They're just a bunch of bullies dirtying the earth."

    "Kill off all Chinese."

    "We need to confiscate any property owned by the Chinese and deport them back to the CCP."



    and yet some people still defend that behavior? I really hope these comments don't reflect on most Korean citizens especially those who are teammates or work with the Chinese idols.


    I have seen Korean tv shows and other platforms usually excuse Americans greeting with "Hi" and their overall "free-spirited" behavior in Korea because they say it's how Americans are. Never been this controversial. I get it, China and Korea are in a bad relationship.

    but that doesn't make it ok that ifans translate Korean comments cursing Chinese idols and SIDE WITH THEM.
