Park Jin Young's (JYP's) Twitter gets criticized for "Japanese notation"

Ramyun is ramen?

Singer/producer JYP gets caught up in a scandal for using a Japanese notation.

JYP currently uploaded a picture of himself and the Wonder Girls eating ramen from a pot through Twitter. The problem was in the description. He wrote "On our way back to NY. One last Ramen. I ate more Ramen during this tour than I did in my entire life!"

The netizens have a problem with how he worded '라멘(Ramen)'. Korea has copyrighted the name 라면(Ramyun), which is different from the Japanese word. Netizens said "the correct way of wording 라면(Ramyun) in our country is 'Ramyun' or 'Korean noodle'" Jung Woo Sung has also received strong criticism for writing '김치(kimchi)' as '기무치(kimuchi)' on a recent Japanese show.

There are also people defending JYP. They say that the ramyun that is enjoyed in Korea everyday is originated from Japan. They stated that this is no issue to get all worked up about a Japanese notation.

One person said "It doesn't look like he wrote it like that purposely to upset people. JYP uses his twitter to inform fans about news and work-related updates so it would be nice if the public didn't take such a small issue so personally next time."

[speakoslow.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah and WTF are they doing on an American blog????? JYP is writing to the American fans, like others have said it's the American way of saying it. If they got a problem why don't they get their silly asses out of American pages, it's called twitter.com NOT twitter.co.kr

[tingl.livejournal.com]

[poppytea.livejournal.com]

there will always be trolls :P i think the fault lies with people bothering to report this crap and making it seem relevant to ~anyone's~ interests

[diamondroad17.livejournal.com]

This is a big problem with the Korean media. They don't have anything to do so they scour the internet and variety shows for news.

[canyoucelebrate.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what to say about this.

[runpuri.livejournal.com]

something along the lines of "STFU/GET OUT MORE, NETIZENS"
