Petition For “Snowdrop” To Stop Production Gains Over 96K+ Signatures Overnight
A formal petition has been created regarding the controversy surrounding the JTBC K-Drama Snowdrop.
| The Blue HouseThe petition requests for the production/airing of the drama to be stopped due to its distortion of history.
| The Blue House| JTBCAfter the level of selfishness seen through the drama ‘Joseon Exorcist’, it looks like another one is about to come out.
Despite proving many times that there was no North Korean involvement in the democratization movement, this drama has made a spy the main character. Aside from that, other figures under the name of the government, tortured and killed while trying to beautify the Ministry of National Safety and Planning (currently NIS).
It seems like they are ignoring it by saying that it is just the setting for the drama, but the setting itself is insulting the current victims and outright showing political pressure in the drama.
Freedom does not mean that you live your own way. There’s no fool that would accept having people allowed to kill people in their own way. We have to stop all filming for this drama and erase all filming thus far as it insults the foundation of our country. We ask for all your support.
Snowdrop, which had an estimated release date for the second half of 2021, was criticized after parts of the plot was leaked online.
After receiving a lot of heat, JTBC released an official statement through Twitter, addressing the concerns. They reiterated that the “allegations around ‘Snowdrop’ are not aligned with the production’s plans.”
The general Korean public have become very sensitive to historical K-Dramas “distorting” history, with SBS K-Drama Joseon Exorcist being the most recent drama to face backlash, ultimately cancelling the drama altogether.
