The Netflix series ‘Squid Game 2’, which is attracting great attention from viewers around the world, is again suffering from illegal viewing in China.
On the Chinese content review site ‘Douban (豆瓣)’, a review screen for ‘Squid Game 2’ was created even before its release, and there are currently over 60,000 reviews left.
Seo Gyeong-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women’s University, pointed out, “It was like that when ‘Squid Game 1’ was released, and now ‘thief viewing’ has become a daily routine in China,” adding, “It’s even more surprising that they don’t feel any shame.”
He continued, “It is also a big problem that so far, China has freely used the image rights of Korean Wave stars who appeared in K content and made and sold counterfeit products to make a profit,” adding, “It is time for the Chinese authorities to take active action from now on.” emphasized.
He recalled that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, China carried out a strict crackdown on its citizens to protect intellectual property rights and prevent illegal distribution of the mascot ‘Bingdundun’ and said, “It’s not that the Chinese authorities don’t know. He pointed out, “It is true that we have turned a blind eye to ‘illegal viewing’ of K content until now, even though we were aware of it.”
Lastly, Professor Seo said, “Chinese authorities must first learn to respect other countries’ content and crack down on the illegal activities of their citizens.”
