Chinese netizens raise issue over Big Hit Entertainment's financial report marking South Tibet as Indian territory

AKP STAFF

Chinese netizens are raising issues once again.

China's Global Times reported on February 25 that Big Hit Entertainment raised some eyebrows for Chinese internet users as the company used a map that marked South Tibet as Indian Territory instead of Chinese territory.

Big Hit Entertainment released the company's financial report, in which the company showed its revenue in different countries in 2020. A world map was displayed on the background of this financial report, to which Chinese netizens are claiming that the company used an incorrect map.

China claims sovereignty over the state of Arunachal Pradesh, calling it South Tibet. One Chinese netizen demanded a revision of Big Hit Entertainment's financial report, which showed the world map. 

Other Chinese netizens pointed out that the map used by Big Hit Entertainment was a map taken from Korean online platform Naver; hence, Naver should be criticized.


This isn't the first time Chinese netizens raised issues with Big Hit Entertainment. They took offense to a previous remark made by BTS leader RM during the acceptance speech at the Van Fleet Award Ceremony.

Wouldn't it be nice if Tibet could just be their own sovereign state and didn't have to be the subjects of other neighbouring powers? 😪

And LSM why Big Hit is not as dead set on Making Chinese growth a priority, Over the last year Chinese media has slandered BTS so much & constantly claimed Korean culture, If any big company bends over to much to cater to the Chinese gp, It runs the risk of hurting their Korean impact, Seriously when LSM mentioned building around China, Netizens were furious , The Chinese fans who still like BTS are still supporting them, Their Chinese fan Bars online have been active, While I was speaking about Big Hit, I really meant BTS & TXT because Big Hit the company is just a company not a person, Its just that they manage some of my favorite groups
