IVE girl group controversy escalates: the collision of cultural appropriation and historical scars
Recently, the South Korean girl group IVE has aroused widespread attention and discussion around the world due to a series of controversial behaviors. From the questioning of "appropriation of Chinese culture" to the alleged rash reference to "Datong mass grave" in the MV of the new song, IVE seems to be constantly testing the public's bottom line. In the face of such turmoil, public figures, experts and the media have spoken out, providing in-depth analysis and commentary on IVE's behavior.
The members of the IVE girl group used a lot of Chinese elements in the MV of the new song, but they called it "Korean style" when they promoted it, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Chinese netizens. Professor Li, a well-known cultural scholar, said in an interview: "This kind of behavior is obviously a misreading and appropriation of Chinese culture. In the context of globalization, cultures should respect each other and not be appropriated at will. Professor Li's remarks not only expressed the sentiments of Chinese netizens, but also triggered people's deep thinking about cultural respect.
And the alleged rash reference to "Datong Mass Grave" in the MV of IVE's new song touched the scars of history. Historian Dr. Wang pointed out: "The 'Datong mass grave' is one of the crimes committed by the Japanese army invading China, and it is a pain for the Chinese nation. Using such historical scars as an entertainment element is not only disrespectful to history, but also harmful to the victims. Dr. Wang's words made people feel even more angry and puzzled by IVE's behavior.
As the controversy escalated, a number of media outlets also commented. Xinhua News Agency commented: "The behavior of the IVE girl group is not only disrespectful to Chinese culture and history, but also a challenge to global cultural diversity. In today's globalized world, we should cherish and respect different cultures more and jointly promote the development of cultural diversity. This comment by Xinhua News Agency represents the position and attitude of the mainstream media, and has also aroused more people's attention and thinking.
In addition, a number of public figures have joined the discussion. Mr. Zhang, a well-known singer, said: "As artists, we should have a higher cultural literacy and historical awareness. In our creation and performance, we should respect history and culture and avoid touching sensitive topics. Mr. Zhang's remarks not only expressed criticism of IVE's behavior, but also reminded all artists to cherish their image and influence.
In this controversy, we have also seen the awakening and growth of Chinese netizens. They no longer blindly chase stars, but begin to pay more attention to the dignity of the country and the inheritance of culture. With their actions and voices, they expressed their anger and dissatisfaction with such behavior, and also demonstrated the determination of the Chinese nation to unite as one and defend its dignity.
However, the controversy doesn't end there. Will the IVE girl group apologize and reflect on this matter? Will they be able to recognize their mistakes and take responsibility for them? These issues remain unanswered. But in any case, this controversy has shown us the importance of cultural respect and historical memory. We should learn from this and work together to uphold cultural diversity and historical dignity.
