Over 30 prominent Korean studies academics and experts have signed an official protest to Disney Plus Asia-president, Pacific's expressing historical concerns about the JTBC drama 'Snowdrop.'

The petition, which was co-written by professors of Korean studies from Ewha Womans University, Pusan National University, The George Washington University, and others, as well as Ph.D candidates from Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Toronto, and others, addresses two major historical concerns raised in the drama "Snowdrop."

The petition began with the following statement:

"We are writing to request that your company seek experts... to carefully examine the historical references made in the show, and consider for yourselves the way those historical references are used. We make this request because we do not believe that Disney Plus as a global platform is aware of the historical and socio-political context in which this show exists, and we believe that platforms should make a point of making a point of making a point of making a point of making a point of making a point of making a point of making

The petitioners' initial complaint was the use of Cheon Young Cho, a real-life historical figure, in modeling the female main role, an issue that had already made news even before the drama's broadcast. The petition went on to analyze possible references to Cheon Young Cho's husband, another democratic movement participant, Jeong Mun Hwa.

The character Eun Chang Su (played by Heo Jun Ho), father of the female lead Eun Young Ro (played by BLACKPINK's Jisoo), was the subject of the second concern. "Military officer Park Jun-byeong, who commanded the 20th Infantry Division into Gwangju in May, 1980, and led them to conduct one of the bloodiest murders of civilians in modern Korean history," according to the petitioners.

For consumers in the Asia-Pacific area, JTBC's 'Snowdrop' is currently available via Disney Plus.
