Following Zhang Nara's remarks about "coming to China for performances when short of money", South Korean singer Lee Jung-hyun recently talked a lot on a South Korean TV show about her experience of encountering mountain bandits in China, claiming that she conquered the bandits with her songs. Once these words were posted online, they immediately triggered protests from Chinese netizens, many of whom expressed that they could not continue to encourage this "bad trend" among South Korean stars.
Lee Jung-hyun boasting?
"I conquered the Chinese mountain bandits with my songs"
Lee Jung-hyun made public these words about her encounter with "Chinese mountain bandits" while recording a very popular South Korean TV show "HAPPY TOGETHER". She joked on the scene: "That time we took a long-distance bus to perform in a small city, and suddenly encountered mountain bandits when passing through a mountain." She said, "At that time, all the people on the bus were scared to death. The local agent kept explaining to the bandits that I was a famous singer. But the bandits didn't believe it. The situation became very urgent. In order to subdue the bandits, I had no choice but to personally take action and sing a song that was extremely popular in China at the time 'WA' (which became famous due to its cover by Sammi Cheng) to make them believe my identity, and their attitude immediately became friendly, and finally they let all the people on the bus go."
Netizens say Lee Jung-hyun is boasting!
"Did she go back to China 5000 years ago?"
For Lee Jung-hyun's remarks, many netizens who have seen them first questioned the authenticity of what she said, "You are too talented, your expression ability is simply amazing! Bandits? You must have taken Doraemon's time machine back to China 5000 years ago. Even if you really encountered bandits, how could they let her go just because she sang a song? They should have robbed even more."
The reporter sent the video to Zhang Tian, a Chinese student studying in South Korea yesterday, and he said he had watched this episode, "Lee Jung-hyun and Zhang Nara are among the better-developed South Korean stars in China, so the host likes to ask about their development in China. Lee Jung-hyun probably used the South Korean word for bandits, she might not know how to express highway robbery, so she used the word bandit." As a Chinese person, Zhang Tian said he was very angry when he heard these remarks, "What era are we in now, how can the word bandit still be used."
Zhang Tian said that many South Korean stars who are not very popular in South Korea choose to develop in China, but they do not respect China very much, "Now we should call on Chinese people not to chase South Korean stars anymore. Zhang Nara and Lee Jung-hyun almost have no popularity in South Korea, if they lose the Chinese market, they probably won't be able to survive."
But some netizens also expressed that we shouldn't pay too much attention to these unintentional words, "Lee Jung-hyan also unintentionally said it, it's just an entertainment program, no need to take it seriously!"
Industry insiders say she's not that good
"She is just a third-line star in South Korea"
