Chungha, who showed love for hanbok by saying 'Korean traditional culture' on a personal broadcast, is receiving comments from Chinese netizens. 

To celebrate her birthday on February 9, Chungha conducted a live broadcast through Naver V Live. During the broadcast, Chungha was asked a number of questions from fans. 

Chungha mentioned hanbok in the process. She said, "I wore hanbok for all of this season's greeting photo shoot. Everyone, it's hanbok."

The broadcast is known to be watched with interest by overseas fans as well. 

It seems that Chungha made this statement conscious of the controversy surrounding the appearance of a Chinese woman in hanbok at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. 

The V-live video was also uploaded to Chungha's Instagram account. Then, Chinese netizens were outraged. Chinese netizens commented on Chungha's SNS, "Why are you stealing Chinese history and culture?", "Never steal Chinese traditional culture again", and "Hanbok is China's national costume. Please learn the history well and tell me again."

Korean netizens who confirmed this commented, "The purpose of Chinese netizens is to reduce our mention of hanbok over and over again and make us notice it. We should mention it more without getting caught up in this strategy." It's funny to see terrorists", "Why are you angry when Koreans wear hanbok?" and "Ignore the Chinese reaction." 

Korean celebrities who recently mentioned hanbok continue receive hate comments from Chinese netizens. Hyoyeon and Park Shin Hye were also attacked for posting photos related to hanbok. 

Song Hye Kyo’s much-anticipated return to the big screen with The Black Nuns is making waves, as the film shoots straight to the number one spot in overall pre-sale rankings, even beating out Hyun Bin’s Harbin.

The Black Nuns is a chilling thriller about a group of individuals who perform forbidden rituals to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. And it’s already generating tons of buzz!

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network, as of 11 AM on January 15, The Black Nuns is leading the pack with a 16.4% pre-sale rate, having sold 38,391 tickets in advance. This is a strong indicator of the film’s high pre-release anticipation, even with nine days still left before its official opening.

With its unique storyline and gripping visual appeal, The Black Nuns is expected to inject fresh energy into the upcoming theater season. Song Hye Kyo has been actively promoting the film, making appearances on tvN's You Quiz on the Block, the web variety show Jeong Jae Hyung's Fairy Table, and sharing vlog videos on the Davichi Kang Min Kyung channel. All of these efforts are driving the film’s rising pre-sale numbers.

The film is also drawing attention for its star-studded cast, which includes not only Song Hye Kyo but also Jeon Yeo Bin, Lee Jin Wook, and Moon Woo Jin, all of whom deliver impressive performances.
