중공이 세계적 문화공연을 집요하게 방해하는 이유는?

Every year, there is a global performance group that performs world tours with new works and increases popularity. Last season alone, eight art groups of the same size visited more than 20 countries and 200 cities around the world to perform 800 times. They performed at the best concert halls in each country. New York Lincoln Center, Washington Kennedy Center, Paris Palais des Concrets, Toronto Four Seasons Center, Hollywood Dolby Theater, etc. It is the world's best Chinese classical dance group, Shining Art Group, which is headquartered in New York. It has been aiming for global popularity for 17 years since it was established in 2006. Last season, the world's top figures, including Chuck Schumer, the U.S. Democratic Party's top representative, Won Rae, and Sang Ha-won, sent congratulatory letters. Soon, the 2024 world tour will begin, and requests for performances from various countries are already pouring in. In Japan, performances are scheduled for about two months from the end of December, and in Taiwan, performances are scheduled for a month, so performances are already being prepared in each country. As such, Shining Art Group's performances are gaining great popularity around the world, but it is particularly difficult to perform in Korea because it is rejected from the concert hall. Early this year, the Seoul National Theater, Busan Sohyang Theater, and Gumi Cultural Arts Hall in Gyeongbuk were rejected by the theater, which is operated by 13 other local governments except for these three concert halls. The reason for the rejection is that the theaters believe the false accusations against the performance of Shining Art Group, which is promoted by the Chinese government. Shining Art Group has been dreaming of the revival of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years through music and dance, a universal language of mankind, for 17 years since its founding in 2006. The goal of this performance is to show the beauty of Chinese traditional culture before communism, not a performance with the color of the Chinese Communist Party. This is the real reason why the Chinese government is trying to stop Shining Art Group from performing all over the world. However, in most countries, the Chinese government ignores such interference and rather welcomes the performance, but Korea is cooperating with the Chinese government. Therefore, it can be said that the Chinese government is watching. Next year, the concert will be held in 2024, and the concert hall will already be contracted and prepared, but the performance is being hindered. When the Korean Blue Daffa Choir, the main organizer of this year's performance, applied for the grand prize, Mr. A, who promised to postpone the performance, suddenly changed his attitude for no reason. Mr. B unilaterally announced the cancellation of the grand prize after the grand prize was approved. Mr. A, who applied for the grand prize without a competitor, delayed the review for a week and announced that he was eliminated from the competition, but later found that there was no schedule for the concert on the concert hall website. Because of this, there were many cases where the contract was canceled unilaterally for no specific reason, even though the grand prize was signed at the main Korean concert hall. At the time of the concert, there were several cases where the concert hall suddenly canceled the grand prize and had to wait until it was judged by the court to perform. There were also many cases where the concert was refused due to the interference of the pro-China embassy. In 2016, the Seoul KBS Hall received an official letter from the Chinese embassy after the grand prize contract and canceled the grand prize contract, and the Korean concert host filed a legal lawsuit against the KBS in court. In response, the Seoul Southern District Court decided not to interfere with the concert, but the Chinese embassy sent a second official letter to the KBS. After that, the KBS submitted the official letter sent by the Chinese embassy to the court, and when the court raised the reason for the decision, the court repeated the existing decision, and in the end, the KBS concert was canceled. In 2011, there was a case in which a vice-general of the Chinese Embassy in Busan went to a district office in Daegu and asked the director of the district office to stop the concert. As such, the Chinese government strongly expressed its intention to stop the concert through the Chinese embassy and is preventively interfering. The Chinese government has raised economic issues and is asking the Korean local governments and concert halls to follow their policies, but Korea is repeatedly surrendering without even protesting. In addition, after Yoon Seok-yeol came to power, in 2023, for the first time in 17 years, he performed at an independent theater, but all 13 theaters in the country's local government were closed, which was not the case in the past. In other words, it is clear that the decision to close the Grand Hall is not the pure meaning of the theater, but a wrong decision by the Chinese embassy to dismiss or pressure high-ranking officials of the local government.
