Snowdrop is a drama that distorts Korea's democratization movement into a case of espionage. At that time, tens of thousands of innocent people were killed by the state power. Please don't watch this drama that distorts democracy in Korea.
#snowdrop #설강화

This drama, which distorted and glorified the situation at the time when human rights were violated, is nothing more than a Nazist film. Watching this drama is like watching a glorified Nazi movie.
#Snowdrop #설강화

If you are curious about the real situation that happened in Korea in 1987, you should watch the movie '1987'. The 'Snowdrop' is a fake historical hoax drama. Moreover, they are maliciously distorting history.
#Snowdrop #설강화

It's a shame, but pro-Japanese pro-Chinese forces actually exist in Korea. And they move capital to distribute propaganda distorted images. They try to intervene in real politics by distorting the history of Korea. Because Korea is currently undergoing a presidential election.

The first president of South Korea was the traitor Rhee Syngman, and the next president was the dictator Park Chung-hee. After that, Chun Doo-hwan led a military coup, and his friend Roh Tae-woo took over the power.

Kim Dae-jung was the first to regain power from the rebels who had been in power for nearly a hundred years, and by that time tens of thousands of us had died. In the Republic of Korea, democracy was built through the bloodshed of the Democratic Party.

After that, President Roh Moo-hyun laid the foundation for an advanced country, but the attack on the media power gave the government back to anti-national forces. For the next 10 years, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye were in power.

Park Geunhye, daughter of incompetent dictator Park Chunghee, covered her election fraud with the Sewol Ferry incident and mobilized the National Intelligence Service to manipulate public opinion. She was impeached at the end of her tenure after several corruptions were revealed.

At that time, candlelight protests covered the country, and President Moon Jae-in took power with the power of the people. In summary, the Democratic Party of Korea has been in power for only 15 years. That is why 100 years of corruption are piled up all over the country.

Korea's democratization is a tragic history. And it is a history of suffering. The reason for making a drama that distorts history by making this into a caricature is simple. They want to regain power by distorting the democratization movement.

If there's one thing you like about this drama, it's just the acting skills of the actors. However, all the contents contained in it are related to history and have an underlying intention.

Now JTBC can't even stream this drama in Korea. Korean online bulletin boards related to this drama were also blocked. This is to prevent a situation in which the airing is suspended due to public opinion. Why? The reason is as already explained.

This drama is no different from Nazi propaganda. The actors in this show may not be at fault, but the people who made this show have a clear political purpose. Do you want to laugh and talk about the political propaganda, the tragedies of people in other countries?

Now, I believe you know a little bit about why you shouldn't watch the that drama. Thanks for reading this long post. It's embarrassing, but it's still our history.
But I am proud of that It is Korea that holds power with candles against those with guns. We still in 100 year war.

Also, there are plenty of good dramas and K-pop in Korea. Why do you have to insist on that political propaganda? It's strange that you dared to choose a few bad dramas. LOL.

It's sunday, so I wrote a little bit of Korean modern and contemporary history. When I have time later, I want to write about the 10000-year history of Korea in this way.
You just looked at the pictures and brief sentences, But don't you think you learned something about Korea?

And, it seems that there are people who misunderstand that I exaggerated the facts. There are a lot of more serious historical photographic materials, but I've been purifying as much as possible and only used photos of main events. Because no one likes cruel things. Do you want?

For reference, the Korean people who gathered for petition to the Korean government to stop the airing of the drama, exceeded 200,000 in just one day.
It is the rule If the number exceeds 200,000, the South Korean government is required to respond.
www1.president.go.kr/petitions/Temp…

The name of the female protagonist in the synopsis was the same as the name of the actual leader of the democratization movement. She is ill now and can't talk, but she's alive now.
This drama wants to say that she met the north spy and did her democratization movement. #snowdrop

There were many cases of espionage manipulated by the NIS. The victims are still living. But the drama says that the victims were really spies. Why? Because they want to create a public perception that the current Korean regime was created by spies.
Why? It's election season now.

There are millions of people who lived in that era, but there is a drama that told a lie.
Do all of those people look like spies to you below picture?
This drama distort those people as spies or people who fell in love with spies and sold their country.
#Snowdrop #설강화

In the drama, the secretary of the ruling party is portrayed as a 'general' with a tiger-like spirit.
At that time, the president of Korea was a dictator from a 'general', and he imprisoned and killed innocent people with the NIS. He is a famous bastard as the massacre.
#Snowdrop

The K-CIA forcibly kidnapped 194 Koreans living in Germany and France from Korea, claiming that they had received North espionage training. Those kidnapped were composers, painters and poets, innocent people.

But in the drama, they cannot enter "the dormitory".
Gentle Guys. lol

They did custom torture for each person.
For musicians, turn up the volume on the radio and rip the eardrums.
A poet was subjected to electric torture for 6 months, and as a result to Parkinson's disease. All of his teeth were damaged, so he couldn't chew the rice, but drank it.

They turned innocent people into spy criminals through torture. But in this drama, a real spy is chased by the National Intelligence Service. Still don't know what this drama is trying to say? They were not gentlemen at all, they were very savage slayers. How about in this drama?

This drama is glorifying a regime that should never have been glorified. If you still want to see the end of this drama, search for below word on Google. After that, it's up to you.

"광주 민주화 운동 희생자"

I won't be able to upload those pictures.
#Snowdrop #설강화

I think they are good actors and I like them.
But if you really like them, you'll want them to stop airing.
Because, they are Korean, and they will probably have to live in Korea, and within 20 years, you will forget them, but Korea will still remember them as traitors.
#Snowdrop

I add this thread.
In this drama, curfew is portrayed in a fun way.
But in reality, some people died because they couldn't go to the hospital because of curfew, including mothers and childrens.
The curfew was a device to strengthen the dictatorship. Is it still fun?
#snowdrop

The spy in this drama will meet a Korean politician and plot something.
In reality, one man was accused of espionage and almost got the death. Barely survived, he flees to the US, eventually proving his innocence and becoming Korea president.
Don't you know what this metaphor is?

It's a very famous case in Korea.
"The Kim Dae-jung Civil Rebellion Conspiracy Case"
This drama uses all kinds of malicious metaphors.
Why? As I said, they want to regain political power in Korea.
They want to say that the current ruling party is involved in espionage.
It is OA?

And the metaphors are not aimed at foreigners. So you don't know.
They brought sensitive issues of modern history and air it in time for the Korean election season. And they already know that this kind of chaos is going on. So blocked the bulletin board on the Korean website.

Of course, I also have a political side for a particular party. But everything I have written is historical fact. This drama is a political propaganda made with a specific purpose.
For reference, Korean artists were blacklisted by their party. Hope you know and watch.
#snowdrop

A civic group will send filing an application for an injunction to ban broadcasting to the court.

Personally, I think the National Security Act can be applied. It was a law favored by dictatorships, and never applied by democratic forces.

ent.sbs.co.kr/news/article.d…

After the dictator's daughter came to power, one political party disappeared in Korea. That was only 6 years ago. A member of the National Assembly of that party was sentenced to nine years in prison under the above law. Can you believe me now?
newstown.co.kr/news/articleVi…

The chicken franchise, modeled by Jung Hae-in, has announced that it will end sponsorship of this drama. If anyone is boycotting, you can stop the boycott.
#Snowdrop
n.news.naver.com/article/015/00…

This is a list of companies sponsoring this drama. Companies that have declared suspension of sponsorship are indicated.
#Snowdrop #Sponsorship #Boycott

Based on the reaction, it seems that they do not yet understand the meaning of the word spy in Korea, so I add this thread. It will be a bit long.
The annexation of Korea and Japan is going too far, so I should start talking about Liberation Day.
#snowdrop #Korea #Spy #빨갱이

1945, Korea was finally liberated from colonialism. At that time, there was no Korean Gov. The provisional Gov. in Shanghai, which had original legitimacy, came to Korea late, and in the meantime National Foundation Preparation Committee prepared for the founding.
#snowdrop

At that time, there was no division between North and South, and the division between democracy and communism was meaningless in Korea.
Contrary to the French, Koreans did not kill the pro-Japanese. They survived and became pro-US. Among them were torture engineer.
#Snowdrop

The traitor Syngman Rhee actively utilized these pro-Japanese bureaucrats.
His political rivals were assassinated or humiliated and driven northward within years. Among them, there was a general who had been serving as an independent army for several decades.
#Snowdrop #History

The great ones had fought many Japanese soldiers in the past, but they could not kill their compatriots, so they disappeared.
As a result, Syngman Rhee divided Korea into north and south for his own power, and he became the first president.
And the history of the massacre began.

Have you ever heard of the beautiful island of 'Jeju'?
There, up to 30,000 people were killed in seven years. At that time, the population of Jeju Island was less than 300,000.
In fact, there were members of the South Korean Labor Party, but most of them were innocent civilians.

And there were soldiers in Yeosun who were ordered to go to Jeju Island and kill people.
The honorable soldiers resisted that they could not kill their compatriots. However, there were so few so they entered Jirisan Mountain.
That was the beginning of the phrase "빨치산-빨갱이"

From about that time in Korea, the word '빨갱이' has been used synonymously with spy.
After the '빨갱이' hid in Mt. Jirisan, the government put pressure on the citizens of Yeosun, where they lived. "There is a spy among you." In the process, up to 5,000 people were killed.

At that time, in Jeju & Yeosun, people who followed North ideology were clearly mixed.
But as I said before, there was no such distinction in Korea back then.
What did you think of the photo? Did they really look like spies? Do you think tens of thousands of people are all spies?

But since then, Syngman Rhee seems to have thought of '빨갱이' as a magical language.
In 1950, the year the Korean War began, he officially killed 4,934, unofficially, up to 200,000 civilians. He killed a left-leaning group called the Journalists League as "빨갱이".
#Snowdrop

And we went through the 'Korean War'. Do you know how many people died in the Korean War? I won't mention it.
Now, the South and the North have become completely enemies, and all those suspected of being ideologically tainted by the North were called '빨갱이'.
#Snowdrop

I don't know exactly why Syngman Rhee did such things. He divided the nation into North and South in order to gain power. I don't want to understand his thoughts. He is simply a traitor to our nation.
Do you have a sense of how scary the word “spy” is in Korea?
#snowdrop

My beautiful Korea has a history of such tragedy.
So much has happened in the 100 years, actually there were many more. But let's stop now.
When I writing it, my heart ached the whole time.
If it's not enough, I'll write more about what happened over the next 30 years.
#Snowdrop

I'll try to keep going.
Rhee Syngman initially slaughtered civilians, and at the start of the Korean War broke the bridge in Seoul and fled alone.
And after the war, we was busy with restoration. After than, we realized something that our president is still him.
#snowdrop

1960, the citizens wanted to change the regime.
However, the dictatorship, which was called the Liberal Party, conducted irregular elections.
The students took to the streets. The powerless regime secretly captured the people.
However, the victim was eventually found.
#Snowdrop

When the student was found dead, the entire nation was outraged and poured into the streets. Until then, the citizens had been helpless, but this time it was different. They took the policeman's guns and confronted them.
The president came down on his own in a nationwide outrage.

Koreans call that event the 419 Revolution.
The revolution was a success. However, In 1961, Park Chung-hee did the 516 military coup. After than he was president until his death in 1979.
We have realized then that power created by force is destroyed by greater force.
#Snowdrop

During of military government, the meaning of "빨갱이" is further strengthened. For example, in a trial called "Inhyukdang Case", eight people were tried as 'spies' and executed 18 hours later. It was later found that they were all innocent.

Now, you know the word spy means?

Interestingly, Park Chung-hee was also pro-Japanese.
He served in the Manchurian Army before liberation. The Manchurian army was one of the units that killed the independence army the most. When he came to power, he is suspected of killing a politician from the independence army.

Also interestingly, he was close to socialism.
Maybe, that's why he didn't slaughter people openly. Perhaps it was because he saw the 419 Revolution. However, in the process of industrialization under the military regime, many people died in subhuman working conditions.
#Snowdrop

Although Park did not openly killed people, he used the K-CIA to control public opinion. Of course, he captured and tortured people if necessary.
Therefore, the K-CIA was headed by the person he trusted the most.

1979, Dirictor of the K-CIA killed Park Jeong-hee.
#Snowdrop

He said, Park Chung-hee would never let go of power, so it was to restore democracy to which countless people gave their lives.
There are many movies related to this incident.

"The managers of Namsan" "The people at that time"
It's good to just watch a movie.
#Snowdrop #탕탕절

1979, less than a year after dictator's death, another military coup took place.
Soldiers led by Chun Doo-hwan took power.
We call this event the 1212 Military Rebellion.
Looking at the picture, doesn't it seem that people are very accustomed to this situation? LOL
#Snowdrop

Those who thought the military dictatorship was finally over, of course outraged.
As people started protesting everywhere, 'the general' chose an area.
They thought it had to be far from Seoul, and it was difficult even if there were too many, but few people city can't be sample.

It was Gwangju. That's why we call this event the "Gwangju Democratization Movement".
I mentioned the photos of the victims of the incident at the beginning of this thread.

People were killed and many women were raped.
The whole city was hell.

https://twitter.com/chang82_korea/status/1472825300170178560?s=20

#snowdrop

They almost brainwashed themselves.
"This happened because of the instigation of the spy."
It was not just thinking, they used the controlled media to spread clearly fake news. Gwangju was isolated.

This is the reason why the local sentiment started in Korea. Even today, It is.

Think rationally.
They are the survivors of the Korean War, in which one million people were killed or injured. They really hated North Korean spies.
I translated the placards of the citizens of Gwangju at the time.

"North Korean monsters, Don't be mistaken."
#Snowdrop #Spy

The films about the Gwangju Democratization Movement are as follows.
"Taxi Driver" , "Gorgeous Vacation"

Koreans are not avoiding a tragic history. And most of the recent k-dramas have nothing to do with political propaganda.
Cause Korean won't let it go like this #Snowdrop.

In the history of Korea in 1987, the 'June Uprising' is always mentioned. And that is the background of the drama.
A placard "Liberation Hosu" is attached to the background scene.
In reality, Ewha Womans University has been writing the phrase “Liberation Ewha”.
Is it coincidence?

Jan. 1987, Student Park Jongcheol was arrested and tortured to death. The students were outraged and started a protest. During the protest, Lee Hanyeol was hit in the gas grenade and died. This led to nationwide protests.
As a result, the dictatorship in Korea ended.
#Snowdrop

The 'June Uprising' of 1987, although using the name of June, actually happened throughout the year, and is a major event that changed the history of Korea.
In the 1987, it cannot be left out, and omitting it is another distortion. It is an issue that cannot be added or removed.

Of course, there were also actual espionage activities in Korea. But there weren't really many.
Have you ever counted the victims in my thread? It can be asserted that the actual espionage case is less than 0.01%.

Do you think like this?
“Still, a few decades ago, isn’t it?”

I will continue my explanation assuming that you understand how seriously the 'spy' can be taken in Korea.
Of course, Korea today is a developed country.
(10th GDP / 8th Trade / 6th National Defense)
But politics isn't like that. "spy" was used as a magical word until recently.

If you don't believe it, search for "빨갱이" on YouTube.
These are videos that you have to search for in Korean.
Even now, dozens or hundreds of videos are uploaded every day.
And they almost always target active politicians.
So Koreans quickly notice this issue.
#Snowdrop #Spy

If you have read the contents of this thread from the start, you know how serious it is linking espionage to the democratization movement and glorifing the intelligence service in Korean society. (already explaned) And you know that the June Uprising can't be left out.
#snowdrop

Now, I need to explain 'who' is doing this with the intent. And it is a topic that can't be discussed without 'pro-Japanese'. And in order to explain that, it is necessary to explain the atrocities of the 'Japan'.

Let's start with the story of 35 years from 1910.
#Snowdrop

When I begin to explain the Japanese colonial era, much more 'Brutal' content comes out than the previous. I will try to refine as much as possible.

And I am Korean. So it can be emotional at times on this topic. I will write as objectively as possible.

1910, Korea was annexed.

Japan invaded Korea twice in the 16th century. They learned something from the failure. So the method chosen in the 20th century was not directly war.

Japan oppressed incompetent King. And 7 treaties were passed in 6 years. Yes. The Korea ruling class sold the country.
#Snowdrop

Korea has been invaded 1000+ times in the entire history. There has never been a case like this. Naturally, the people resisted. However, without the support of the dynasty and without proper weapons, they were naturally defeated.

The Resistance went to Manchuria.
#Snowdrop

'Mr. Sunshine'
This drama portrayed this era.

Also, It is a historical distortion drama. Although there was controversy, there was no problem with the description of Korean's spirit of resistance, and people looked after it. I recommend just watching it as a drama.
#Snowdrop

The people died while resisting, and the ruling class sold the country.

Anyone who has read this thread will know that like this appeared frequently in modern Korean history.

'Those who sell the country' = 'Pro-Japanese'
In the history, 195 are recorded at that time.
#Snowdrop

Of course, there were also great mans among the ruling class.
Lee Hoe-young and his family sold all their fortunes and went to Manchuria to establish a military academy.
In terms of present value, it is about 2 trillion won.
It's hasty sold price. (1 dollar = 1200 won)
#Snowdrop

It's the beginning of the Shinheung Military Academy.

There are movies depicting people who graduated from there. "Assassination"
Also, It is a historical distortion drama. But there was no problem with the description of Korean's spirit.

Why is only #Snowdrop to be problem?

This is because we have experience of the Korean spirit annihilated for 35 years by Japan.
It has banned Hangeul education, made to speak only Japanese, erased or distorted our ancient history, and burned 200,000 history books.
They tried to make us completely Japanese.
#Snowdrop

Today, the dictator's daughter, who was imprisoned for all kinds of corruption, received a special pardon. She will be released soon.

I have lost the power to continue this thread.
South Korea's politics are still underdeveloped.
It's a really sad day...
hani.co.kr/arti/society/s…

Yesterday, the presidential candidate of Korea's first opposition party said:

The 80's democratization movement was not a democratization movement that is truly based on the spirit of liberal democracy....

Now. You Know. Please help me...
#Snowdrop
news.v.daum.net/v/202112231438…

I will continue the history thread that was briefly cut off due to the latest news.

There were many other evils that Japan did at the time.
As a representative example, there are cases in which Unit 731 conducted biological experiments on Koreans as 'Maruta'.

3000 people died.

And up to 200,000 women were taken to the battlefield as sex slaves. They were called "comfort women". 18 victims are still alive today. A lawsuit against Japan is still ongoing.

There are also movies related to it. "I Can Speak"

We still haven't resolved the issue.
#Snowdrop

And there were people who were forced to be conscripted throughout the Japanese colonies. When normalized diplomatic relations in 1965, the official count exceeded 1 million.

There are also movies related to this.
"Battleship Island"
The island was registered as a UNESCO Site.

Those who resisted such atrocities were mainly fighting abroad.

The resistance groups from the military academy mentioned earlier started to work. Japan sent in the Manchurian army to eliminate. They slaughtered just civilians.

The number of victims exceeded 10,000.
#Snowdrop

There are also movie that depict situations around that era. "The Battle: Roar to Victory"

The film depicts a scene where civilians are slaughtered and the independence army who resists it.

The battle depicted in this film was the first victory of the Korean independence army.

The history of the Korean armed resistance group called the 'Independence Army' is long enough to be dealt with separately.

The point of this is that there were Korean pro-Japanese in that Japanese Manchurian army.

And in this thread I mentioned that the dictator was in there.

Japanese's comments are starting. lol
Those people have blocked and will continue to block.

Do you see why we react so seriously to historical issues? Even today, Japan is distorting our history.

Japan's historical revisionism is now world famous.

english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…

And the historical revisionism was passed on to the daughter of the 'pro-Japanese' dictator. She tried to change the content of our history textbook. That was only 5 years ago.

How many of these 'pro-Japanese' were in Korea?
1945, there were more than 5,000.
