“Snowdrop” Will NOT Be Canceled Following Seoul Court Decision

After an extensive and complex issue revolving around the Korean drama “Snowdrop” starring Jisoo and Jung Hae In, JTBC has confirmed that “Snowdrop” will NOT be canceled, especially after the Seoul court has carried out their decisions.

On December 29, the Seoul District Court ruled in favor of the JTBC drama “Snowdrop” in a case and injunction by a civic group. Therefore, it means that “Snowdrop” will not be canceled and continue airing.

“Court rejects application for injunction to ban screening of ‘Snowdrop’. They also explained that the screening of ‘Snowdrop’ did not directly infringe on the rights of the applicant.”

Petitions and Civic Group Injunction Request Against JTBC “Snowdrop”

Starting from its very first premiere, “Snowdrop” has received various backlash regarding the issue of historical distortion. More than 300,000 citizens have signed a petition to the Blue House, demanding to take “Snowdrop” off the air and be canceled.

Following the petition, a civic group called “Declaration of Global Citizens in Korea” filed an injunction request against “Snowdrop” company, JTBC, to the Seoul court on December 22. They demanded the company to take down and cancel “Snowdrop”.

Seoul District Court: “It’s Difficult to Argue that The Drama Infringes on the Rights”

Although the Blue House has yet responded to the petition, the Seoul District court decided reject the injunction request. The court believed even if it’s true that “Snowdrop” has distorted history, it has a low probability of the public accepting the drama’s inaccuracies blindly.

“Even if ‘Snowdrop’ is based on historical distortions, the probability that the public will accept the inaccuracies blindly is low.”

In addition to the above statement, Seoul District Court also stated that it was difficult to argue that “Snowdrop” had infringed the civic group’s right if the drama did not directly involve them.

“Unless the content of the drama directly involves the civic group, it’s difficult to argue it infringes on the group’s rights.”
