China surely was not a small insignificant nation during Cold War. It is a common knowledge in SEA that the communist militia in the region was armed with the Chinese support.

Quote from VVisual

Korea doing it is neither better nor worse than China blocking (some) Korean stuff now.

It is not just entertainment where banning and prejudice occurs. It is across all of Korean society. Some of the most famous food (featured in K-movies/dramas) are Chinese and the Chinese people who developed it in Korea suffered a lot of prejudice.

South Korean has NOT banned Chinese content. It's just the lack of demand. The prejudice is a whole another topic.

Quote from raison

But that is more than enough reason to place cultural restrictions on Chinese culture.

Stop the groundless accuse of the Korean restricting Chinese culture.

Various organizations working on women's rights and child protection collaboratively reported Ch3 to Communication Committee over the controversial scene in "Wife on Duty". The drama depicted the lead female being raped and recorded by a man.

Q - Together (World of Himmapan OST.)

Quote from VVisual

Yes, people also ignore the fact that Korea banned Chinese language and culture too until the 1980s. It also destroyed the use of hanja (Chinese characters) which until 1949 was used by Koreans for practically since the birth of the nation.

Culture is always politicized by Koreans too.

South Korea has never banned the use of hanja, only North Korea has. The use of hanja (in South Korea) diminished due to the removal from standard education curriculum but has been revived in a degree.

Quote from winniethepb

It's important to understand history so one can get the bigger picture. These survival shows although are licensed from Korea, the Korean survival shows are derived from Japan. Prior to Kpop's rise, Japanese entertainment was the driving force in Asia. Korea's government saw this as a threat to their own culture so they barred import of Japanese culture. Even til today, japanese words may not be streamed on Korean TV. Point is, it has nothing to do with discredit or greed but for their country to develop their own pop culture.

FYI, Politics rule all sovereignty not just China's.

If it's important, you should learn it.

- Not all these survival shows are licensed by the Korean entity.

- Produce format did not derived from any Japanese show but inspired by AKB48's election and, obviously K-pop idol training system and Sixteen (by JYPE). Japan itself never had a tv survival show similar to Produce.

- Korean govt banned Japanese culture not because J showbiz was a threat but to wipe out the remnant or Japanese colonization.

Quote from miile

For those who don't know, Thai entertainment itself is rising in China, even state media outlets recognize this trend...

Thai stars on the rise in China, while South Korean celebrities get cold shoulder

https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1206633.shtml

Thai stars and entertainment have been making big headway in China lately. New Thai Boys' Love drama I Told Sunset About You has received high marks on Chinese media review platforms, surpassing the scores of several Chinese works and capturing the hearts of Chinese audiences. Meanwhile, Thai stars in popular dramas introduced to China have been gaining more fans in the country, even edging out some K-pop idols.

These moves, along with the rise in popularity of Thai dramas, are indicators of the increasing influence of Thai entertainment culture in China.

No way. No self hate but T-ent is way behind K-ent. I have not watched Thai drama for ages. The production quality albeit (slowly) improving, still is way beneath and the scenario is even worse. Thai producers themselves complaint about the lack of good scenarists in the country.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

Why is Won Young so low on that chart? I thought she was the center of the group and maybe the most popular. And why is Chaewon so high? I've never seen anyone talking about her as a favorite in Izone, i've seen some probably troll comments insulting her for her visuals.

Wonyoung is by far most popular in Korea but Sakura wins everywhere else. She can be seen as most popular due to the presentation in Korean media/online forum.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I know Sakura and Chaeyeon are close. But what are the other friendships in Izone? Minju and Chaewon?

Quote from StCatMouse

But that doesn't answer my question. You mentioned extermination. So you are saying you are okay with killing off the Rohingya?

Pragmatically speaking, they are 2 ways for Myanmar to clear Rohingya issue

1. Clear all Rohingyas from Myanmar

2. Give up on Rakhine state and hand it over to the Rohingya.

If any ruler choose 2, he/she and his/her family will be cursed for centuries to come and, uh, good luck to the Buddhist who will become minority in Rakhine.

Whatever Myanmar govt will do or not do with the Rohingya, someone will suffer.

Quote from StCatMouse

So you're saying each and every Rohingya should be killed

The majority of the Myanmar wants UK to take these peoples as they were brought in by the British. UK is willing to take 3mil Hongkongers, it can take 900k Rohingya too, right?

The Rohingya is not innocent sheep victim and they are burden to Myanmar's economy and peace. If no strict measure is done on the Rohingya, the majority Buddhist will be victimized. There is no win-win situation. One side must lose. Who should it be, majority Buddhist or minority Rohingya?

My country has had Muslim terrorism separatist and, following human right activists' guidance, a part of the country must have lost, the terrorist must have achieved its goal.

Quote from taesv6

She looked mixed, Latina or SEA mixed. I saw a rumor of Filipina YG's new girl idol candidate. Perhaps, it's her?

Quote from shutduhfullcup

Why does the first one sounds like Apink Naeun?

Naeun still is an active idol. It sounded like the person has retired from idol.

Can't really say this happened for worse. The primary issue of Myanmar now still is security. Suu Kyi understandably attempted to weaken the army but, that could encourage the uprising of countless ethnic based militia groups in the country. Myanmar has long been divided and could temporarily unified only under strong dictator/absolute monarch.

Quote from StCatMouse

Speaking of Myanmar, whatever happened to the Rohingya?

Being in status quo. Suu Kyi made no attempt to ease the issue, neither she acknowledged the Rohingya as Myanmar citizen thus, her Nobel Peace Prize was revoked.

Anyway, to treat the Rohingya nicely is a sure way to lose the election. No democratic Myanmar ruler will be kind to the Rohingya.

Quote from selfmate

power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely

And, many times, more persons in power, more pieces of pies to be demanded.

Quote from aliye12

I hope as well! Just thinking the fear and uncertainty the people are in right now is so sad

It's like instead of respecting the human rights we're going backwards to the ages where no human rights mattered but I must say that in times like this I am really thankful for the social medias because information spread so fast.

Is it? A Thai writer working with human right activists wrote her network in Myanmar telling her minority groups in Myanmar supported this coup d'etat.

https://www.sanook.com/news/8345914/

Suu Kyi had excluded minority politicians from her development planning and they could hardly brought up a topic into parliament conference. She was a white worshipper and her advisor team consisted mainly of the white hired at high wages when Myanmar was still a dust poor country. The election cheating accusation was true, the dead came to vote, no ID card check at some voting units, many were listed eligible for different voting districts. Minority groups had formed allies with the army for the latest election.

Quote from StCatMouse

To be honest, I don't know if anyone's to root for in this situation. If the reports are accurate, the Rohingya people suffered under her regime and the regime before her isn't too hot either. If anything's clear cut here, it's the common people that's getting the short end of the stick.

On the other hand, the Buddhist majority is being suffered from the Rohingya. The extermination the Rohingya will ease every others in the country.

Quote from xoxcandycanexoxo

They are getting abused so much just for religion it’s sad

A western classic way to oversimplify things. The grudge between the Rohingya and the Buddhist in the country is very deep-rooted and started by the British colonizer, bringing the Muslim Bengali into the country to help them suppressing the local.

The Rohingya and the Buddhist in the area have long fought back and forth. The Rohingya robbed and killed the Buddhist and the Buddhist set fire on Rohingya village and so on, a never-ending revenge. In recent years, the Rohingya has been supported by Muslim terrorism squads to attack Myanmar officers.
