For example, Joseon Kumasa that’s set in Joseon, used Chinese clothes, food, music and was criticized for distorting real people and history. This drama dealt with King Sejong who is one of the most respected figures in Korea, so people were angrier. In another drama, True Beauty, a scene in which Korean girls eat Chinese hot pot at a convenience store was controversial. The reason for the controversy is that the PPL of a Chinese company is to eat Chinese food at convenience stores in Korea, not Korean food.

Having wildfires in the Amazon Rainforests is one of the most serious problems that we can see directly.  The Amazon is known as the lungs of the earth. Through the Amazon, more than one-fifth of earth’s oxygen is generated and carbon dioxide, the cause of global warming, is removed. The Amazon is home to one-third of earth’s species. So, it’s not a simple problem when a fire breaks out in the Amazon.  According to the National Institute for Space Research, “more than one and half soccer fields of the Amazon Rainforest were being destroyed every minute of every day.”  If the lungs of humans are destroyed, it must be a significant risk to health. Likewise, the destruction of the Amazon will have an evil influence on global warming in some way or other soon.  “ We can’t stop i
