On the 31st, according to Professor Seo's side, the Chinese content review site Douban had created a review page for "Squid Game 2" before its release, and currently has over 60,000 reviews.
Professor Seo Kyung-deok said, "It was the same when 'Squid Game 1' was released, but now 'secret viewing' has become commonplace in China," and "There is no sense of embarrassment.
Professor Seo pointed out, "It is even more shocking that they are not able to do this." In particular, he said, "In the past, they have been using the portrait rights of Korean stars who appeared in K-contents in China without permission to make and sell counterfeit goods.
"It is also a big problem that China has used this money to generate revenue for itself," he said. "Even now is the time for Chinese authorities to take an active role."
During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese authorities took strict measures against their own citizens to protect intellectual property rights and prevent illegal distribution of the Olympic mascot "Bing Tuan Tuan."
Professor Seo said, "It's not that the Chinese authorities are unaware of this. It's true that they have been aware of the 'illegal viewing' of K-content but have turned a blind eye to it until now.
"The Chinese authorities must first respect other countries' content and launch a focused crackdown on illegal activities by their own citizens," it added.
