While G-Dragon, the leader of the group Big Bang, mentioned "Lunar New Year" at a Dubai event and drew opposition from China, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, has supported G-Dragon.

Professor Seo posted a lengthy post on his Instagram on the morning of the 2nd about the personnel issue of G-Dragon's "Episode of the Lunar New Year."

Earlier on February 17 (local time), G-Dragon appeared as a headliner at the "KRAZY SUPER CONCERT" held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and wowed more than 20,000 fans. At this time, G-Dragon said hello by mentioning "Luna New Year" three times. Regarding this, he insisted on writing "Chinese New Year" in English in China and strongly opposed G-Dragon, and eventually was dealt with by foreign media. Luna New Year means the Lunar New Year, and it means that Lunar New Year is not a specific country but a common holiday in East Asia.

In response, Professor Seo said, "The groundless and unreasonable claims of Chinese netizens are getting worse day by day. Because 'the Lunar New Year' is not just a culture in China, but a culture in Asia," he pointed out.

Professor Seo then praised G-Dragon's attitude. "In particular, Chinese netizens have been more opposed to the expressions of global companies and stars, and G-Dragon, who made the correct expression without being aware of Chinese fans, was a true global star," he said.

Professor Seo also clarified, "In the recent official social media of the New York Times, 'The Lunar New Year' is the most important holiday in many Asian countries, and it is known as Spring Festival in China, Lunar New Year in Korea, and raft in Vietnam." From now on, Chinese Internet users will have to learn 'global manners' that first respect the culture of other countries, he said.

At the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Professor Seo also publicly criticized China's labeling of "Happy Chinese New Year." "(Lunar New Year) is an Asian culture," he said while launching the 'Luna New Year' campaign. "Chinese New Year" is China's cultural imperialism mindset.

Global K-pop star G-Dragon's recent New Year's greeting at a performance in Dubai is controversial as Chinese Internet users are strongly opposed.

I found out through a report from a netizen, and the South China Morning Post (SCMP) in Hong Kong reported in detail on the 28th of last month.

According to SCMP, Chinese fans criticized G-Dragon's New Year's greeting to the audience at the "Crazy Super Concert" held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on the 17th of last month.

On the other hand, Chinese idol Chaishkun, who participated as a special guest, greeted the New Year with "Chinese New Year," which intensified the controversy.

"This has disappointed many Chinese fans," the SCMP said, introducing various opinions from Chinese Internet users in detail.

Chinese Internet users' unfounded and unreasonable claims are getting worse day by day. This is because 'theory of the lunar calendar' is not unique to China, but the culture of Asia.

In particular, Chinese Internet users have been more opposed to the expressions of global companies and stars, and G-Dragon, who made the correct expression without being noticed by Chinese fans, was a true global star.

Recently, the official social media of the New York Times clarified, "The Lunar New Year is the most important holiday in many Asian countries, known as Spring Festival in China, Lunar New Year in Korea, and raft in Vietnam."

From now on, Chinese Internet users will have to learn "global manners" that first respect the culture of other countries.
