'Snowdrop' Historical Distortion Controversy and Allegations
While Jisoo and Jung Hae In's "Snowdrop" stole a huge audience's attention and interest since its premiere in December, it has also been the target for criticism due to its portrayal of a historical era.
The controversy revolves around the drama's alleged historical distortion. A petition to reconsider the drama's broadcast, which earned over 300,000 signatures, pointed out that protesters were tortured and killed after being falsely accused as spies.
Petitioners claim that the plot of "Snowdrop" undermines the value of the pro-democracy movement.
A group of Korean scholars and professors from several universities also wrote a letter to Disney Asia-Pacific President Luke Kang, asking the company to seek experts on South Korean history to review the historical references made in the show.
Broadcast network JTBC released a statement in response to the allegations, saying, "The drama "Snowdrop" is a creative work that shows the personal struggles and stories of individuals who suffered under the abuse of those who possess power."
Despite the commotion, "Snowdrop" still achieved success. It became one of the most-watched television series in Asia-Pacific that is available on Disney+ within the first five weeks of its run.

Moreover, "Snowdrop" is a heart-touching melodrama about a young couple who have loved each other despite life and fate's cruelty.
"I hope the global audience finds "Snowdrop" gripping and engrossing as Eun Young Ro (BLACKPINK Jisoo) and Im Su Ho (Jung Hae In) face their fate," Jo Hyun Tak, the director of Disney+, stated.
