Jang na-ra recently caused Chinese netizens’ wrath at the SBS ‘Kang Simjang’(강심장) TV program because of a statement she made about China. She gave an apology by video after a 1,500-word official apology. However the Chinese press and netizens’ anger would not calm down easily.
The media which heard about her a thousand official apologies published an article, ‘You know what she apologizes for?’ The article reported “What would Jang apologize for Chinese, indeed? She must be apologizing to head off problems with her work in China which is able to raise funds when the company is going through difficult times like these days.”
The press also said “Whatever the truth of her heart, the Chinese feel insulted and are enraged as this comment.”
In addition Chinese netizens seem to be unchanged in their thinking that, ‘Jang visits China to make money’, even though she gave an official apology.
Meanwhile, the Chinese press made an issue of her saying that “If I spend all my money, I go to China” at ‘Kang Simjang’(강심장) lately.
The matter is that the point of Chinese press is not only towards Jang. They point out that the majority of Korean entertainers visit China to make money. Therefore, sharp attention has been drawn to the fact that other Korean entertainers may run into problems entering the China market.
Meanwhile, Jang’s affiliates explained “We sincerely apologize to the Chinese people and fans who have been offended by this problem. At that time she didn’t say such things directly but it was subtitled on the screen.”
Jang told of her deep affections for China through the official apology by video and letter, “I have received much love in China. I think China is a new work place and like my second home. I thank everyone who has given me a chance to work and love me. In addition, I want to apologize to those disappointed with me.” However, nothing could change Chinese netizens’ minds even after her apologies.
