  • JTBC issues statement on Snowdrop - Airing of episodes will continue

    Some people are just so bullheaded that they’re not understanding that JTBC and the SD team have been accused of so many things.


    Just think once from there side. You have created a series and you have been accused of something you never intended to just based on the premise. Then people will start harassing and bullying everyone involved just to put a lot of pressure on you so that you are forced to cancel, then how will they show their side of the story and how will the truth ever come out?


    Like what i keep on reiterating there are always two sides to every story but what are these people trying to do? They are also snatching JTBC’s right to prove their innocence. The only proof they have is to still air the series.


    Many series and movies have been made are also controversial but they are still being shown and NOT cancelled or silenced. Like even JTBC is being professional and reaching out to the organizations involved.


    Like what i said this is also being shown internationally so we can also give our comments and opinions especially when we are also seeing loopholes and they will also be the first ones to comment on our wholesome posts like just because we like watching it and defending it they will liken us to brainless zombies? Your logic is really hilarious.


    There are some people who want to watch it purely for entertainment value, nothing more than that and some who still want to continue watching it and confirm themselves if the accusations are really true or not, stop calling them inhumane, disrespectful, insensitive and all that 🙄

    So you agree, its only for your entertainment, for your enjoyment, so you don't care about actual victims right? Or even care about Koreans history right? Because its your entertainment, nobody else matters right? Ok.

    It’s really hard to explain things to people who have already made up their minds and keeps on feeding us with this propaganda bs like if it’s propaganda for you then go ahead but also stop trying to influence us to have empathy when some of us don’t actually feed into this propaganda bs.

    And fyi Propaganda films are still being shown today and there are even a lot of Hollywood films with subtle and blatant political messages but the masses and even historians are still watching it to understand and learn something from its nature from the past. Failure to do so leaves us ignorant and less able to deal with current issues of extremist propaganda. This is precisely why it’s also vital for things not to be always cancelled and censored especially as we are now living in a DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. Moreover, we now have the tools and advancements to combat propaganda, they might not play the biggest role but they still play an important one.


    Again don’t liken us to being stupid and easily brainwashed, please we know how to distinguish things and not believe that just because of 1 series then everything there is the truth.


    Do you really think young people today who watch 1 fictional series will immediately think everything there is true and wouldn’t even talk to their peers about it nor research about it? Seriously like what century do you think these young ones live in? especially with all the technological advancements we currently have they can even speed up their research by googling things.


    Like how could anyone feed into their bs that an entire country can change their regime based on 1 freaking FICTIONAL SHOW in 2021.


    This series is not even intended to revise any history nor is Korean history going to suddenly change because of a FICTIONAL drama. We actually know how to distinguish between fiction and reality.


    This is not even about Snowdrop anymore it’s about some of them calling for CENSORSHIP and cancellation on things that they find offensive and will continue to even bully and harass people who are involved be it movies, series, celebrities- they are just proving to everyone that they are now going against the exact principles of democracy which their ancestors fought hard for. Seriously now they are even trying to petition to cancel and silence a Company just because of Snowdrop?! Wow they sure like to criticize and condemn the Chinese and North Koreans censorship. Like Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!


    Censorship is the enemy of democracy because it will make people more ignorant and unable to deal with certain issues. Again it might be uncomfortable for some and these people may read propaganda into this series but people like us still see it as pretty harmless entertainment and a free society still needs to understand that.

    Like what I said not everyone is going to believe that there is propaganda in this freaking series and it just gets really frustrating that we are just here to watch and enjoy the drama then here comes these ideological gangsters that will lecture us about their history like did we ask for them to talk about their history in the first place? And then will get really offended and call us names when we disagree with them.


    They are acting like they are suddenly historical experts when for sure most of them are just joining the hate bandwagon since when you ask them about the questionable parts that they keep on talking about, they keep giving examples and explanations that have nothing to do with what i’ve seen so far from the drama lol How can I turn a blind eye when i can see that a lot of them are still being swayed by instinct and emotion rather than logic and reason.


    So how can we not defend and speak up about Snowdrop and the casts? It’s also a good thing that the cast have someone who is Internationally famous and known so it will be harder for them to shut down and censor this project knowing that the International community would rally behind them and would also help analyze and get the other side to every story. It also helps that we understand that this is FICTION in the first place.


    Kudos to Jisoo, since she is also the one getting the brunt of the work, for also not giving way to these naysayers and even called her an airhead that even if this is considered a controversial series she never backed out because she is pretty savage! She also probably understood that this is a fictional drama and is not intended to change their history as claimed by others. Remember, a lot of famed and well-known materials continue to be loved, read and seen by millions despite the heated controversies surrounding them.


    Also, some people will tell us that that we should sympathize with them and would tell us to butt out of their issues since it’s their history when in fact they are also the ones who keep on commenting on our wholesome posts in the first place. Plus the series is being shown also INTERNATIONALLY not just locally so it’s also our right to critique them especially when we keep on seeing a lot of loopholes and those who preach that there is 'only one right way' need to be constantly challenged. It is also our right to comment and call them out on their TOXIC CANCEL CULTURE especially when it keeps on happening.

    Its brimming into politics right now for Koreans but to you its only entertainment right? For the victims, they speak up that the drama is downplaying the NSP’s violence, the fact that one NSP agent was stated as “kind and just trying to catch bad guys”, the victims are offended by that and these are the actual people who went through hell with the NSP in the 80’s, so are you saying your entertainment is much more important than their suffering? As much as people should respect your need for entertainment, you should give them the same respect for feeling offense of the material due to political sensitivity. Be human.
