Professor Seo Kyung-duk said on social media, "Just like when season 1 was released, 'thief viewing' in China is now a daily routine, and it is even more surprising that we do not feel any shame."
Currently, "Squid Game Season 2" has a rating of 6.4 points (out of 10) on China's social media platform Douvan (豆瓣), with about 60,000 reviews.
As Netflix is not officially serviced in China, it is highly likely that Internet users watched it illegally.Professor
Seo pointed out, "China has used the portrait rights of Hallyu stars at will and produced and sold 'fake goods' to make their profit structure."
China's attitude is being criticized as a "double standard" given that there was a precedent for a strict crackdown on Bing Dundun (氷墩墩), the mascot of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, in the name of protecting intellectual property rights.Professor
Seo said, "We need to know how to respect the contents of other countries first so that our culture can be respected," and urged, "We need to crack down on illegal activities of our citizens."
