According to Korean media Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's Sungshin Women's University professor Xu Gyeongde criticized that a popular Chinese clothing company copied the clothing presented in the series Squid Game on his Instagram on Oct 5. The report attached a contrast photo of Chinese actor Wu Jing wearing "China" sportswear and actor Lee Jung Jae in Squid Game.
Xu Gyeongde said in the post: "In shopping apps, unauthorized use of Lee Jung jae's photos to sell the green sportswear famous for TV dramas is wrong." Xu continued to promote his biased remarks towards China, claiming that "(China) has plagiarized too much Korean content... They said Kimchi, Samgyetang, Hanbok, etc. originate from China."
Wu Jing first wore this "China" clothing in the movie Song of Youth released in 2019, in which Wu Jing played a guest role as a physical education teacher. The costume in the film was this dark green retro sportswear with the word "China" printed on it.
In 1982, Li Ning, the "Prince of Gymnastics", wore plum sportswear when he won six championships at the Sixth Gymnastics World Cup.
In 1984, when the Chinese team participated in the Los Angeles Olympics, the plum sportswear was designated as the official clothing for the Chinese team.
"This style of clothes has been worn by Chinese for decades. "
"I wore this type of sportswear when I was in elementary school."
Some netizens put Wu Jing meme into Squid Game spoof, and the related topic "If Wu Jing participated in the game of squid" appeared in the hot search on Weibo.
At the premiere of the movie My Country, My Parents a few days ago, Wu Jing once again put on his "China" sportswear, seemingly in response to the recent discussion online.
