Korean Netizens criticize WayV's Winwin & EVERGLOW's Yiren for supporting the 'One China' principle

In an update posted on August 3, NCT/WayV member Winwin wrote, "There is only one China.". With his post, Winwin included an image of the "One China" principle, which claims Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao are all part of China.

The same image and text were posted by EVERGLOW member Yiren a few hours later. Winwin's and Yiren's identical posts come after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan on August 2, a time of high-tension in politics.

Celebrities and netizens have expressed anger on Weibo about the U.S. speaker's visit, claiming it will aggravate China-Taiwan relations.

Winwin and Yiren are under heavy criticism by Korean netizens for their involvement in current political affairs, commenting, "All Chinese idols need to leave Korea." "Please kick WayV out of NCT." "Why do these Chinese idols debut in Korea! Just go to your own country!" "Posting that in this climate is basically asking for war." "Please leave NCT out of this, WayV is not a part of NCT..."

"Any Chinese idol who posts about 'One China' is good as dead in Korea." "Can we seriously ban Chinese idols from K-Pop already." "Can someone make a list of all the Chinese K-Pop idols who posted this on Weibo? So we can boycott every group they're a part of."

"I really want to ask them. Will you be happy if war breaks out?" "If any more NCT members upload this... NCT is over in Korea." "Don't they have any decency? They support a socialism but they want to make money in a democratic country."
