The makers of the Korean series “King the Land” issued a statement apologizing for the scenes that included any offense to Arabs at work.
The statement came as follows: “The characters, regions, place names, etc. that appear in the drama are fictitious places… and there was no intention to satirize or distort a particular culture…
The production team respects different cultures and will pay more attention to the production so that there will be no inconvenience in watching.”
This came after dealing with scenes at work, which included the appearance of an Arab businessman who has multiple female relationships, is married to 4 women, flirts with women in an inappropriate way, and is depicted as a man.
Arabic but the region is not specified.
Some considered it a distortion of the image of the Arabs, a clear insult to them, and the consolidation of negative stereotypes in the minds of the public.
The Arab public demanded that the series’ producer delete these scenes and apologize to the Arabs, after the name of the series was issued by the “Twitter” website.
The series “King of the Earth” revolves around an attractive, intelligent and elegant girl named “Cheon Sa-Rang”, who became famous as the queen of smiles and hospitality at the King Hotel, which is owned by the charming heir Joo-Won, and brings together many situations in a romantic-comedy framework. It stars Im Yuna, Lee Junho, Ko Won Hee, Kim Ja Yeon, and Seha An.
