Guys Knets are really going after Perfect Crown. Someone submitted a petition to the National Assembly asking for the drama to be taken down from all OTT and VOD platforms, despite the apologies from the cast and crew. The petition’s deadline is June 21, and if it garners 50,000 agreements within 30 days, it will be referred to the relevant Standing Committee of the National Assembly. As of now about 15000 people have already signed. The petitioner said that the drama has clear historical inaccuracies in its directing, which seem to push a specific Northeast Project agenda. They highlighted major issues like distorting national dignity and titles, freely borrowing from foreign cultures, and errors in symbolic national attire. The petitioner requested, “The Korea Communications Standards Commission and relevant authorities should immediately order the cessation of broadcasts for the drama that has committed serious historical distortions and cultural appropriation,” “To prevent the spread of distorted culture worldwide, please forcibly delete and cancel the program from all domestic and international VOD and OTT platforms where it has already been released,” and “For broadcasters that damage national identity and cultural sovereignty under the guise of ‘fiction,’ please establish a permanent expulsion system, such as excluding them from future government funding and restricting broadcasting licenses.” Even MBC is in serious trouble.
