Blue House finally gave their official statement regarding the petition to stop filming the drama 'Snowdrop'.
Previously, the people of South Korea made a petition on the official website of the South Korean presidency, the Blue House.
The petition was made by Korean netizens because of the alleged historical distortion in the drama 'Snowdrop' storyline.
According to the rules on the Blue House website, a petition will be responded to by the government after getting more than 200 thousand votes.
After the petition surpassed 200 thousand votes, the Blue House now gave their official statement, "The petitioner who made the petition 'Stop Shooting Snowdrop' wrote, 'They are insulting the democratic movement and trying to glorify the NIS'. More than 220,000 people have participated in the petition. "
"'This controversy started because the synopsis and character introduction were not finished," said the television party, which will broadcast the drama. 'This is not a drama that belittles democratic movements and glorifies spies and the NIS'. The drama is currently in production. "
The Blue House continued, “In particular, direct government intervention in a work can violate freedom of expression, thus requiring a cautious approach. The government respects autonomous decisions taken by the private sector, including content creators and producers who create content that is contrary to national sentiment. "
“The Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) will continue to thoroughly review justice, public sentiment, and adherence to the responsibilities of public broadcasting. In the future, the government will continue to communicate with cultural artists and the public so that various discussions about cultural works can take place in a healthier manner, "they said.
