Chapter 52: I Stand Still

Naver is Korea's Weibo and also the largest search engine.

Like China, the current event discussed by Koreans today is also the Hallyu ban.

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeatedly denied the existence of this ban, the facts are in front of them, and everyone understands what is going on.

As the citizens of the dignified first great country in the universe, Korean netizens faced such a ban. The first reaction was anger, and the news of a large number of Chinese artists withdrawing from the group and returning to China was like adding a handful of firewood to this anger, making it burn more fiercely.

Fans felt like they had been betrayed, and netizens felt more humiliated.

As one of the few developed countries in Asia, Korean netizens always appear to be superior on the internet, feeling that everything abroad cannot be compared with their own country. The sentence "everything originates from Korea" is enough to explain such a phenomenon.

Behind excessive pride actually hides excessive inferiority.

As a developed country, although Korea's economy ranks among the top in the world, its status is actually very average, and its own situation in East Asia is also very difficult.

To the north, there is a neighbor, Cao Xian, who is irreconcilable and very irritable, and further north is the even more irritable Russia.

To the south is Japan, which has always had fierce competition and whose relationship continues to deteriorate. The latter's economic strength has firmly ranked in the top three in the world for many years, and its cultural industry is also the best in Asia.

And to the west is the world's most populous country with the largest GDP—China, whose every move can affect the pattern of the entire East Asia.

What's even more fatal is that there are US troops stationed in the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that they survive by relying on their breath.

The best in military, the best in population, and the best in economy are all at their doorstep. Throughout history, probably only Mongolia can be compared. The latter's navy is invincible, and Korea eventually became the country of the universe.

Koreans living in this abnormal international environment actually have some abnormal psychology. Excessive pride and excessive inferiority are their most true portrayal.

And such people like to do most is to wave their fingers on the internet. They have a sense of superiority over any country except the United States, and they spray it with their fingers if they don't agree.

And the promulgation of the Hallyu ban today undoubtedly touched the fragile nerves of most Koreans. In addition to scolding on Naver, they also tried every means to "sanction" the Chinese.

It is a pity that more than 90% of Chinese people do not go to foreign websites, and Koreans cannot enter the mainland internet. They are like headless flies. Although they are full of anger, they can't find a place to vent for a while.

At this time, Miss Luo Quan appeared.

Like Sony Corporation's Chinese branch, the Korean branch also promoted the news that Miss Luo Quan was about to release a new album, but the time was slightly later.

At first, Korean netizens didn't have any excessive reactions, and they were even quite looking forward to it. After all, Miss Luo Quan's songs dominated the YouTube music section every day, her fans and popularity rose step by step, and she also boarded Tdler, circling a considerable wave of fans in Korea.

But when Miss Luo Quan's nationality was dug out, the Korean netizens who had accumulated countless anger finally found a place to vent:

"Just issued the Hallyu ban, and now you dare to come to Korea for promotion? Don't even want your face?"

"Aren't Chinese people all like this? Saying they boycott Korean goods and Japanese goods, but they run faster than anyone when the mall is on sale."

"Really don't know what kind of nerve was broken, tearing my group apart alive. I get angry now when I see the two words 'Chinese'!"

"I remember this Chinese woman sings Japanese songs, none of them are good things. How did Naver let her hit the hot search?"

"Can't let this kind of woman get popular in Korea. China wants to restrict us, so of course we also want to boycott the Chinese!"

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen a developing country dare to issue a restriction order to a developed country. It's really funny."

These comments are still rational. Although they are also firmly boycotting Miss Luo Quan, the language is relatively polite. And the comments behind are directly scolding. These are pure internet patriotic sprayers. Any ugly and dirty words can be sprayed. Miss Luo Quan's face turned green after watching a circle.

Sony senior management's ambition to "counterattack" Korea can be said to have completely failed. A Hallyu ban caused Miss Luo Quan's new album promotion to suffer setbacks in both China and South Korea. The only way is to shrink resources and fully prepare for the domestic market.

In any case, Japan is still the largest base for Sony Record Company, and Miss Luo Quan's national popularity and reputation are also increasing day by day. As long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem for the record to sell well.

However, for Miss Luo Quan, today must be a day worth remembering. She achieved the record of being scolded by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean netizens today.

It is not difficult for an artist to be blacklisted by the whole internet, but an artist like Miss Luo Quan who has been blacklisted by the whole internet in three countries within a month should be the only one since the new century!

"I should also be considered to have created history, right?" Miss Luo Quan put down her phone and smiled.

"Created what history?" Seeing Wen Xia was stunned, thinking that Miss Luo Quan couldn't accept such a blow and her spirit appeared disordered.

"Blacklisted by the whole internet. In these years, has any star been blacklisted by the whole internet in three countries like me?" Miss Luo Quan said with a tactical lean back: "What is an international star?"

Seeing Wen Xia said weakly: "What's there to show off about this kind of thing? The top priority is to find a way to restore your image!"

"There is no way for the time being." Miss Luo Quan shook her head, "Unless the Hallyu ban is canceled immediately."

Hearing this, Seeing Wen Xia chose to shut up.

Miss Luo Quan smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that there is no way at all. As long as my work comes out, at least the voice of boycott in China will be much smaller.

Don't they all think I have no ability and only know how to market every day? With works, these remarks will be self-defeating... As for Korea, just ignore it!"

Seeing Wen Xia was full of worry: "It's not that simple. You sing Japanese songs. It's too slow to get out of the circle in China."

Miss Luo Quan tidied up her expression and revealed a smile: "Don't worry, I am very confident in my songs. As long as the new album is released, all the difficulties and doubts will vanish in an instant."

Saying that, Miss Luo Quan stood up abruptly and walked to the balcony. After opening the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked into the distance, and the full eyes of lights and brilliant starlight wove into the dazzling and prosperous night view of Tokyo.

In the sultry air, the strong wind rushing between the high-rise buildings whistled toward Miss Luo Quan. They carried the sharp cold like a knife, cutting Miss Luo Quan's tender face.

Although her figure was thin, she was never afraid or dodged in the face of such an impact, just stubbornly raised her head, facing the sky with a plain face.

Just as written in a poem:

Let you have thousands of strong winds, I stand still! ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
