エムカウントダウン・イン・フランス」で起きた人種差別論争...現場の証言を聞いてみると

 フランス・パリで開催されたK-POPコンサート「M-Countdown in France」が人種差別論争に巻き込まれた。会場の警備員がアジア人を特別視し、取り締まったという疑惑だ。


15日(現地時間)、フランス・パリのパルク・デ・プランス・アリーナでCJ ENMの音楽番組「M-Countdown」が開催された。NCT Dream、SHINeeのテミン、MONSTA Xのシュヌとヒョンウォン、ATEEZ、Psyらが出演し、約2万2000人を動員した。


CJ ENMは以前、「パリ・ラ・デファンス・アリーナへのプロ用カメラの持ち込みは禁止」と発表していた。そのため、会場ではカメラなどの持ち物がチェックされた。


しかし、ヨーロッパ人もカメラを持ち歩き、カメラでステージを撮影していたにもかかわらず、現場担当者はアジア人を厳しく取り締まったという現場の証言がある。証言によると、現場代理人は躊躇なくアジア人のカメラを没収したり、バッグの中を調べたりしたという。


この論争に対し、CJ ENMは "禁止品の監視の過程で過剰な力があったかどうか、事実関係を確認している "と述べた。


一方、K-POPコンサートが人種差別で非難されたのはこれが初めてではない。2021年末に行われたBTSのLA公演では、韓国人ファンがカメラで歌手の写真を撮ったとして、地元のファンから暴行を受けた。

Japan Meteorological Agency lists Dokdo as Japanese territory on weather map for Typhoon No. 7 Lan

▲일본 기상청에 표기된 독도. 사진제공=서경덕 교수 The Japan Meteorological Agency has sparked controversy for labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory on a weather map of Typhoon No. 7. On the 16th, Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, sent a protest email to the Japan Meteorological Agency through social networking services (SNS), demanding that the agency correct its mistake of labeling Dokdo as Japanese land. "The Japan Meteorological Agency has always labeled Dokdo as '竹島' (Takeshima), and we have been protesting against this for three years. The biggest problem is that many Japanese netizens visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website during typhoon and tsunami warnings, which can create a false perception of Dokdo," he said. "In this protest email, we said, 'This is a clear territorial provocation. Dokdo is an undisputed territory of the Republic of Korea under historical, geographical, and international law." Professor Seo said that not o...

The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Friday that it had received a request from the MLB office to check the identities of Lee Jeong-hoo and Ko Woo-seok the day before, and that the players were informed today that they belong to Kiwoom and LG, respectively.

Lee previously announced his intention to play in the major leagues after this season. His team, Kiwoom, accepted. The local media is also showing high interest in their signing. On the 10th, ESPN, an American sports channel, ranked L...

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

   Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
