Since 20 15, there has been a new whirlwind in China market. New Korean cultural products such as online comics, which are expected to become the main force of the new generation of Korean Wave, are in their infancy, but they are frozen because of a cold wave that restricts Korean.
A Korean online cartoon, which once enjoyed a popularity of over 7 billion hits in China, sold its copyright to China enterprises at the highest price last August, but now the related production work has been cancelled. The Chinese company that originally planned to adapt the cartoon into a movie said that "there is really no way now" and intends to terminate the contract.
Recently, the film Masked Face, which was originally planned to co-star Ha Jung Woo and Zhang Ziyi, was also cancelled due to the invalid visa for Ha Jung Woo. At the 7th Beijing International Film Festival held in April, no Korean film was invited to participate. Last year, five Korean films were released and hallyu star was invited.
