'We don't want Chinese song on Korean show': Anti-Chinese sentiments sweep through K-pop

Last month, one of the performances featured on MBC M's music show, “Show Champion,” irritated many Korean viewers: two members of WayV, a Chinese sub-unit of K-pop boy group NCT, crooned their latest ballad “Back to You” in Chinese. After WayV's performance hit the air, many took to the internet and complained about the Chinese-language song being played on a Korean program, which they could not understand without Korean subtitles. But the issue wasn't mainly about the language. Experts say it had more to do with the anti-China sentiment that has been sweeping through the Korean entertainment scene.
