Check the South Korean forum “theqoo” to observe the direction of the message. Most people not only didn’t take it seriously, but even satirized that the screenshots of the program reposted and used by mainland netizens were downloaded illegally. Many people commented on “TAIWAN No.1” and posted the Taiwan flag. “Anyway, it’s not a limited Korean order? Steal other people’s things to watch it, and now I say not to watch it?”, “Someone asked you to watch it?”, “Don’t watch it,” “It’s not a variety show in their country. They declared that they boycott other countries. The show is so weird”, “They are downloaded illegally anyway.”
