As the K-dramas-or South Korean Scripted TV were stable Finding success with global audiencesStreaming services began to cut their own K-Drama libraries. While The original K-Drama programming on Netflix Continuing to grow, the first K-drama licensed by Disney+ was the historical drama "Snowudop". Although he could boast an impressive team, including the K-Pop supermitwire, Blackpink's ISIUM and high production values, Snowudrop was shaken by controversy before it was premiered. This reaction did not diminish as the episodes began to emit, putting Disney collapse in K-dramas on a definite uncertain start.

The Snowprop was set in 1987, with South Korea experiencing widespread protests against the 1980 military regime. University student Eun Jong -o (ISIU) lives in Seoul, while her father works for the government's intelligence agency. Speaking to Limo Ho-Jung (Jung Hae-in) about pro-democratic activist, Jongo -o hides him in her home after stumbling in wounded, unaware of being a secret North Korean infiltrator. Since the co-ho and his team are working to extract a professor with them back to North Korea, he is starting to get in Jeong -o. This romance for young people is complicated by the fact that Jeong -o has taught the truth about the co-Ho-Cho and escalation exclusion between North Korean infiltrators and South Korean authorities.

For someone without the knowledge of South Korea's history, it looks like an interesting direction for K-Drama. But the true history behind the show's setup makes controversy very understandable.

The June Democracy Movement in South Korea took place in 1987, starting in June of that year as the culmination of years of pro-democracy protests. These social movements began after the brutal suppression of the 1980 Guangju uprising, which was only a reaction against the newly established military dictatorship of Jun DOO-Hwan. Although South Korea's official government estimates the place of place victims up to under 200Some estimates put as much as 2,000. This was galvanizing South Koreans to continue protesting against the Fun regime, with university students being significantly involved in the organization and make -up of the social movement.

1987 started with Murder at Jong-Jul ParkA university student, who died during a January police question, tried to hide the circumstances behind his death. A second university student, Lee Shan-Jole, was killed When he was hit in the head of tear gas, a grenade fired by police in June 1987. This has sparked a dramatic increase in the number of protest movements and participants nationally, while the Jun government has claimed that North Korean political subversives and agents are responsible for growing unrest. Although Jun agreed to withdraw in February 1988 and hand over the power to his successor, Roch Tae-Vu, Protests continued to intensify.

By the end of June, Roch agreed to release thousands of closed political prisoners and dissidents identified by the government as well as Hold democratic elections Next December.

One of Repeated justifications by Shun Mode In its violent response to the protests it was that they were organized by North Korea's pro -communists and spies. Although there is no evidence that supports this, the Snowprope not only gives confidence in Jun's claim, it somehow manages to celebrate North Korea and the actions of South Korea authorities. Although the play is held several months after the death of Jong-Jul and Lee Jan-Jole, these tragedies are minimized as the violent police failure persists. This undermines the victim of two very real activists, killed while still students who Also withstand reaction.

As the details of the story behind "Snowudrop" became public, Thousands of Koreans have been petted For the production of the show to stop and give up. Brands withdrew their sponsorship The "Snowwood" as the reaction continued, although the series continued its premiere in December 2021, along with the subsequent Disney+ streaming edition. JTBC's response to controversy Whether that "snoud" was a fully invented story, with pro-democratic activist elements only wallpaper, with no affecting the movement. After the court ruling that "snow" does not distort true history, JTBC threatened with legal action Based on the defamation of those who posted false information about the online show.

Fortunately, Disney continued to provide more K-dramas to its streaming services, even after the controversy of the "snowy part". Meanwhile, if you are looking for a less controversial show starring K-POP quars, there are always Lisa's role in "White Lotus".
