World star Rain has attracted much objection from Chinese netizens after it was known that he was appointed the publicity ambassador for China SanDong province.

It was reported in Chinese media on 24th December that Rain was appointed the publicity ambassador for China SanDong province, also the hometown of Confucius and a province with long history and culture.
According to the report, Rain was chosen for his healthy image and also his fame in both Asia and also in Hollywood. In the report, it was said that Rain “has readily accepted the proposal from SanDong province. SanDong look forward to become one of the representative tourism spot in Asia.

But many Chinese netizens have commented, “This is not any place but Confucius’ hometown and they got a Korean to be the ambassador?”, “Even though I’m a fan of Rain, I don’t want him to be the ambassador of SanDong”, “There are many Chinese celebrities from SanDong, why choose a foreigner?” etc.
And as for the objections from the Chinese netizens, SanDong province has kept cautious with their words about their stand to it.

I kinda agree, why not choose a chinese to be the ambassador.

But they should about government, that made the choice, and not Rain.

What a bizarre story

I agree with you, but if you look at the comments of netizens' featured, they're not talking poorly of Rain, just saying that it's a poor choice.

I kinda understand why they feel that way. But i mean, choosing someone like Rain isn't too shabby. But i get why they'd bothered with it.

I kind of have to say I agree as much as I dislike crazy ~nationalism~, it just like appointing Britney Spears to being the Goodwill ambassador of Rome or something...it's ridiculous.

well, its kind of funny to have a korean representing a chinese area.
tbh, i can see it as an act of good will
but then i'm sure they could have picked someone chinese to represent the area

kind of weird that they didn't choose a chinese person to for the job, but ehh whatever. you go rain! netizens you stop hating.

From: [identity profile] midsummerdeath.livejournal.com
weird weird choice, authorities. it's not wrong per se... it's just bizarre.

idk to me it's smth like asking Nichkhun to be the ambassador for Busan and not Woodong.

From: [identity profile] quietreveries.livejournal.com
Yeah I agree with the netizens, why the heck should a Korean be a goodwill ambassador for a Chinese province...

IDK I kinda...agree in the sense that appointing Rain to be an ambassador to a region he doesn't have any connection to (I'm assuming), doesn't really make sense. o_O

From: [identity profile] mylittlebambi.livejournal.com
i'm siding with netizens on this 1. it's Confucius' hometown, he's an important figure for the chinese so i'm not surprised they reject rain. my grandfather probably would throw fits if he hears about this

Date: 2009-12-28 08:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] breathe-ai.livejournal.com
...and I don't see how the netizens are hating on Rain. It seems to me they're complaining about the people who appointed him...

LOL. It's understandable the Chinese are pissed though.

but i bet if Rain would've been like 'ah no thanks' they would've went batshit insane.

Errr...I gotta side with the netizens on this, minus all the crazy Rain-hate. Not his fault kind of his fault if he accepted this that he was offered this. But still. Foreigner who knows nothing about Shandong, or China, or is Chinese or lived in China doesn't really have the knowledge or cred to represent it. Having someone like Da Shang as an ambassador would make more sense.

Still, tone down the crazy netizens. Doesn't anyone speak politely anymore?

LOL IDK the netizens' responses translated here don't really sound like Rain-hate, and don't really seem rude.

I think we're all just expecting Rain hate because they're netizens lol

lol I agree with them, I'm sure Rain knows as much about China/the SanDong province as much as any other Korean; so why appoint him?

Actually, what's the point of appointing celebrities to these kinds of positions anyway? lol publicity act much.

It is a weird choice... If he was born there at least it would means something but he doesn't have any link with that province or anything after all..
