There is a controversy among Korean and Chinese netizens over the fact that a member of a Chinese girl group active in Korea gave a Chinese-style greeting instead of a big temple at a fan signing event.
Recently, Chinese member of the girl group Everglow, Wang Yi-ren, did not bow alone, clapping hands at a fan signing event while other members bowed to the fans.
Regarding this, some Korean netizens pointed out that they adhere to the Chinese style while working in Korea, and Chinese media reported this.
The media wrote, 'The Korean media reported on the incident and mentioned that the Chinese tradition is to bow down only to heaven and parents, but many Korean netizens still do not accept it.' They are raising issues by distorting history, such as 'in the past, Korea was a colony of China'.
