Recently, the Chinese entertainment industry has witnessed a strong wave of boycotts against Korean artists, stemming from the controversy surrounding the drama “Tempest” starring Jun Ji Hyun.
Chinese media reported that Song Haekyo is at risk of losing her film project in Hong Kong due to a scandal related to Jeon Ji-hyun,
causing fans to worry and stir up a lot of controversy.
Recently, the Chinese entertainment market has seen a strong wave of criticism against the Korean artist,
starting with the controversy surrounding the film Tempest with Jeon Ji-hyun.
Some details and lines in the film were said to have had a negative impact on China, angering the public.
The rapid spread of the wave after another, in which Song Haekyo also suffered a significant impact.
According to sources in the industry, Song Haekyo had negotiated for more than a year to participate in a major film project in Hong Kong, China.
However, after the controversy, the producer decided to remove all artists from the project, replacing Song Haekyo with Nini.
The reason given is that film concerns will be difficult to monitor if stars participate.
Many people doubt this information because the limit has never been lifted, and investors often avoid the risk.
Nevertheless, the longer negotiation for more than a year shows that both sides are very determined to cooperate.
Some opinions suggest that if the international film project is still able to overcome the limit,
but that is not easy to do in the context of the sensitive Chinese market with political and cultural issues.
Song Haekyo especially values the Chinese market, cooperates with many directors and famous actors.
The source of the original film here is more abundant than in Korea, helping her maintain her fame and income.
Therefore, the cancellation of projects has made her lose the opportunity to gain a large income and maintain influence in the Chinese market.
In addition to the Hong Kong project, many of Song Haekyo's commercial contracts and other projects in China have also been postponed.
Currently, Song Haekyo's side remains silent in the face of the above information,
causing fans to care and worry about her next direction.
Meanwhile, Chinese audiences are calling for a current limit on the complete ban of goods.
If this happens, stars will face many obstacles in the collaboration of films, TV and commerce in China.
The reflection of the impact of Chinese public opinion on the entertainment industry and foreign artists.
With Song Haekyo, being removed from the Hong Kong project is a proof of the risks that artists have to face when operating in the sensitive market.
Not only losing opportunities and income, she is also facing the risk of a hot decrease in the Chinese market.
In short, the wave of goods in China is seriously developing, and Song Haekyo is one of the victims.
The Hong Kong producer's replacement by Mini shows the direct impact of the TenBest controversy and the ban on goods for film projects.
The actor's silent response is still the focus of attention, while Chinese public opinion continues to call for an increase in restrictions on artists.
In this context, artists who want to maintain cooperation in the Chinese market will have to consider carefully,
find ways to adapt to the harsh environment, and prepare strategies to protect the image and personal brand in the face of public opinion.
