”Unofficial but with a rating of 9.6” Netflix's ”Thank You” ignores illegal viewing and invites IU, Park BoGum, and others to Zhangjiajie, China, causing online reactions of ”This is outrageous”

China, which illegally watched the TV series "Thank You for Your Hard Work," has invited the cast and production staff, causing a commotion. On the 2nd, the official Weibo account of Zhangjiajie City said, "
The Korea Tourism and Sports Bureau will send invitations to director Kim Won-seok, writer Lim Sang-choon, production staff and the main actors of "Thank You for Your Hard Work," and "We will be taking a 'Thank You for Your Hard Work Trip' to Zhangjiajie."
"We sincerely invite you to come and make a promise of autumn leaves together," the statement read.
The invitation was sent to the production crew. The invitation read, "On behalf of the people of Zhangjiajie, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to the cast and production crew of the TV Series," and "Let's go to Zhangjiajie to see the autumn leaves."
This moving line evokes an emotional sense of solidarity across borders for the beauty of Zhangjiajie, inspiring audiences around the world to yearn for this magical place.
However, Korean internet users responded with, "That's outrageous." Netflix has officially launched its service in China.
This is because the film has not been officially released and there is no way to watch "Otsukaresama" officially. Nevertheless, on the Chinese rating website "douban", "Otsukaresama" has a rating of 9.6.
It recorded 1.5 points, ranking third in the ratings of Korean TV series of all time, and more than 100,000 people have rated it with stars.
Professor Seo Kyung-deok said, "It was the same when 'Squid Game Season 2' was released, but illegal viewing has now become commonplace in China."
"It only makes it more shocking that you feel no shame about this kind of behavior," he said.
Meanwhile, "Thank You" starring IU and Park BoGum is set in Jeju.
The film depicts the adventurous lives of Ae-seung, a "bright and rebellious girl," and Gwang-sik, a "boy who is foolishly honest and as strong as iron," through the four seasons.
