Hot pot bibimbap and fan dance.中 "Korea is stealing our culture"
Seo Kyung-duk, professor at Sungshin Women's University
Some Chinese Internet users are making unreasonable claims on social media (SNS) that Korea's fan dance is their own culture.

Today (5th), Sungshin Women's University Professor Seo Kyung-duk said on social media, "When I checked the report, there were actually articles and photos spread on Chinese social media saying, 'Korea stole the fan dance."

"It was recently revealed that China's Jilin Province listed stone pot bibimbap on the list of provincial intangible cultural heritages," he said. "China has been steadily moving to incorporate Korean indigenous culture into its own culture, citing that Korean-Chinese nationality and homeland are China."Professor

Seo explained, "Last year, the official SNS of the Hong Kong Palace Museum posted a picture of him dancing a fan in a hanbok and explained it as 'Chinese Dance', and introduced it as a 'Chinese dance team' at the home stadium of the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) earlier this year.

Professor Seo added that Baidu, China's largest portal site, still distorts fan dances as "Chinese folk traditional dances."

The "Fan Dance," which was first performed by senior dancer Kim Baek-bong in 1954, was performed as a group at the 1968 Mexico Olympics and became a representative dance work of Korea. It was designated as a masterpiece in 1992 and designated as the third intangible cultural property in Pyongannam-do in 2014.
