"Are Koreans also streaming for free?" Korean prof "Let's set an example first" when pointed out by Chinese netizens

Seo Kyung-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, who has pointed out the problem of illegal streaming among Chinese people, said, "We should set an example to eradicate those who stream illegally. This was because Chinese netizens criticized, saying, "Koreans should do their best to crack down on it."

Professor Seo posted on Facebook on March 20th, "Recently, the Netflix TV series 'The Glory ~Shining Revenge~ Part 2' has risen to No.1 in 42 countries, including South Korea, New Zealand, and Thailand, raising the status of Korean content once again. I strongly pointed out that illegal streaming by Chinese internet users is prevalent in such a position, and many domestic and foreign media articles have caused a great deal of controversy." Chinese netizens started sending silly sentences on his SNS account, saying, "The people of your country should do their best to crack down," and "Aren't Koreans streaming for free?"

Professor Seo pointed to "noonoo TV" an 'illegal' video streaming site that provides not only OTT TV Series and movies, but also major programs and movies of terrestrial, general channel, and cable broadcasting for free. The site has a server in South America and changes its domain address to avoid crackdowns.

Professor Seo said, "It is unacceptable for us to watch K content illegally. If we don't protect our culture, who will?" he said. He also emphasized, "'Korea' has become a 'cultural powerhouse.' However, we should not forget that a true cultural powerhouse must be accompanied by a citizen's awareness to properly use content." He added, "From now on, we must set an example for the eradication of illegal viewing."
