Is it her Virgin Heart?
Recently, The Korean actress EL (real name Kim Ji-hyun), who played the grandmother of the three gods in the Korean drama "Ghosts", has been involved in controversy over condemning the waste of water at the upcoming Water Bomb concert.
On the 12th of this month, EL said through a personal tweet: "I hope to sprinkle 300 tons of water used in the Water Bomb concert on the Zhaoyang River", but a short sentence has triggered a big discussion among netizens.
El's Water Bomb is a concert where artists and audiences form teams, fight each other's water fights, and enjoy music. Water Bomb has been held in South Korea every year since 2015, but it has been temporarily suspended for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Every concert like Water Bomb uses hundreds of tons of water.
Not long ago, uncle bird mentioned that his upcoming "psy wet show SUMMER SWAG 2022" requires about 300 tons of water per show when starring in MBC's "Radio Star", using edible water.
Uncle Bird's concert schedule is from the 9th of next month to August 27, every weekend, a total of 7 weeks, the estimated water consumption is 4200 tons.
The reason why EL suddenly mentioned sprinkling the water used in the Water Bomb concert on the Zhaoyang River is because of the recent drought in South Korea.
According to the South Korean Meteorological Agency, as of the 11th of this month, South Korea's cumulative precipitation this year was 196.2 mm, reaching only 57% of the year-round. Based on the 8th of this month, the water level of the Joyang River Reservoir in South Korea is 166.80 meters, the water storage rate has dropped below 40%, and the drought in the upstream area is severe, and the riverbed has dried up.
In the face of such a situation, some South Korean netizens began to call for no more water celebrations such as "Water Bomb" and "psy wet show", obviously EL also thought so, so she sent the tweet at the beginning of the article, and matched it with a picture of the dry crack of the Riverbed of the Zhaoyang River.
After EL spoke out, it was supported by this part of the netizens: "Support EL, must use water to open concerts", "Water Bomb is not necessary, ordinary concerts can not satisfy everyone", "Save a little water, now is not the time to have abundant water resources"...
However, some netizens believe that the water used in the concert is purchased by the organizers themselves, so it cannot be counted as a waste of resources.
This part of the netizens tried to refute EL with various arguments: "The swimming pool water of the Olympic level is about 2755 tons, why don't you say it", "300 tons of water is not helpful for the Zhaoyang River, what is used to open the water celebration", "The storage water of the Zhaoyang River is about 2.9 billion tons, and the 300 tons of water only accounts for 0.000010344827586206897% of the truffle content, which is less than the truffle content in truffle shrimp strips"...
In the face of the accusations of this part of the netizens, EL also responded: "Well, if you want to be angry, get angry, if you want to scold people, you can scold people, everyone thinks differently." ”
However, most of the netizens are on the side of EL. For the above netizens mentioned that "300 tons of water is only a small number for the Zhaoyang River", they strongly attacked:
"Because of ignorance, so life is very easy", "His life is very easy, this is not 300 tons, 10 performances are 3000 tons", "at this time at home, wash hands, dishes, bathing must be more painstaking, try to reduce waste", "how can I write such ignorant words so seriously", "Then I can also use plastic products, the little plastic I use is also 0.000 for the earth... 00001, why should I care", "This man has a long head to show his heights"...
It is reported that due to the severe drought in South Korea this year, agriculture and fisheries have suffered serious losses, and many farmers and fish farmers have been forced to give up their livelihoods.
But with the arrival of the hot summer, the water festivals that will be held next are one after another, and it seems that the controversy is bound to continue...
