160801 China's General Office of Broadcasting & Television new prohibitions & how it'll affect korean idol groups pic.twitter.com/kNQFdNVM0l

Basically, due to SK's installation of the THAAD system, China wants to take Chinese money out of Korean hands by halting Idol promotion activities in China and heavily limiting the ability to perform there.
Very curious how this will affect groups with multiple Chinese members/activities.
Sources: @nctdojae on twitter, and reddit users confirm translation and Daum confirmation that this is pretty much happening

Date: 2016-08-01 04:26 pm (UTC)I wonder how this effects Jessica since like all of her business is in China basically. And does it only apply to people who have Korean nationalities (I think Jessica has a korean passport now, someone correct me.)
I feel like c-idols will be safe though. They are still Chinese at the end of the day.

Date: 2016-08-01 08:03 pm (UTC)2. If it turns out to be true, what becomes of that NCT China unit? Because I am literally banking on that unit as being Johnsol's ticket out the basement. Oh and Kun. What they gon do with Kun?

Date: 2016-08-01 08:22 pm (UTC)Okay but right now all I can think of is all those xenophobic comments made towards the Chinese by Korean netizens (as a Chinese myself they did hurt me a bit to see my ethnicity put down even if there was a basis to it) and I'm actually surprised this didn't happen sooner. There's so much xenophobia both ways and with more Chinese going into the Korean industry (and vice versa) I'm surprised there haven't been bans before just on the basis that "they're Korean". Wow - what a world we live in...)
