Actress Choo Ja-hyun is under controversy for labeling her kimchi as 'Pao Cai.'
On the 21st, Sungshin Women's University professor Seo Kyung-duk criticized the actress with a post on her SNS writing, "Choo Ja-hyun is active as an actress in Korea but uploaded a short clip on China's IG 'Xiao Hongshu' eating ramen. In the video, she labeled our kimchi as 'Pao Cai' while explaining the scene of her wrapping kimchi in ramen noodles. I hope this mistake doesn't happen anymore. Celebrities with external influence should know and understand basic national sentiment."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism revised its Chinese translation of kimchi into 'Pao Cai' causing controversy.
