page 163 reported that the wave of boycotting Korean stars in China is getting more and more intense after the movie "Tempest" starring Jun Ji Hyun was accused of incorporating details and dialogue that are said to affect China.
The controversy caused public outrage, and spread to many other artists, in which Song Hye Kyo was also heavily affected.
According to an industry source, Song Hye Kyo has been negotiating for more than a year to participate in a major film project in Hong Kong (China). However, after the scandal broke out, the producer immediately announced that they would remove all Korean artists from the plan and replace Song Hye Kyo with Nghe Ni. The reason is said to be the concern that the film will not be considered for screening if Korean stars participate.
Many people are skeptical about the authenticity of the above information because the "Korean restrictions" have never been removed, and few investors dare to take risks.
However, the negotiations lasted more than 1 year, showing that the two sides were determined to cooperate.
Some opinions also believe that if Song Hye Kyo participated in the film with international ambitions, the project could still surpass the "restricted order" fence.
Song Hye Kyo, who especially values the Chinese market, has collaborated with many big directors and actors. The film resources here are much richer than in Korea.
According to page 163, in addition to the Hong Kong (China) film project, many other deals of Song Hye Kyo were also canceled, causing her to lose huge income and the opportunity to maintain her popularity in the Chinese market.
Meanwhile, the Korean female star has remained silent.
Currently, Chinese audiences are calling for raising the "Korean restrictions" to a complete "banning of Korea".
