South Korea’s Blue House, or the presidential office, rejected a public petition to stop the filming and cancel the airing of the upcoming Korean drama “Snowdrop.”
“Snowdrop” will star actor Jung Hae-in and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, and is set in Seoul in 1987, an important year in South Korea in which pro-democracy movements and rallies were held to condemn the killing and torture of a student activist and demand the holding of a direct presidential election.
The online petition against “Snowdrop” was filed on March 26 on the Blue House website, stating that “history proved that there was no North Korean involvement in the democracy movement.
