TWICE's Tzuyu, originally from Taiwan, asked to adhere to 'One China' principles for Chinese activities ahead of contract renewal?

It is making headlines that TWICE's Tzuyu received an offer from China to engage in activities on the condition of supporting 'One China' ahead of her contract renewal with JYP.

 

You know that issue that's causing a total frenzy among TWICE fans these days 😭 It is the rumor about Tzuyu’s entry into the Chinese market. It’s not just a rumor; everyone is buzzing because there are reports that her support for "One China" was a condition attached to the deal. It is becoming an even bigger hot topic because the timing strangely overlaps with the fact that their contract with JYP Entertainment expires at the end of this year. I’ve summarized what’s going on ✨

 

 

1. What exactly did the reports from Taiwanese media say?

This is according to a report by the Taiwanese media outlet Mirror Media on the 31st of last month; it concerns the company famous for facilitating the Chinese activities of Greater China stars such as Jay Chou. It was reported that Zhao Xiaowei recently contacted Tzuyu's (27, real name Zhou Tzuyu) family. They did. It is said that the topic of discussion was the possibility of Tzuyu not renewing her contract with JYP and instead pursuing activities in China.

 

 

2. What it means that the 'One China' statement is a condition is...

This is the real crux of the controversy: it is said that the Chinese side offered generous terms to Tzuyu's family through Zhao. The content states that if Tzuyu publicly expresses the stance of 'One China' or 'Taiwanese people are Chinese,' support will be provided for appearances on top-tier broadcasting stations and even for holding large-scale concerts. That is the point. Since the scale of activities changes drastically with just a single political statement, fans can't help but be worried. 🥲

 

 

3. Position that nothing has been confirmed yet

 

Zhao Xiaowei's side drew a line. An official contract has not been signed, and discussions are currently on hold as Tzuyu and JYP are negotiating whether to renew the contract. They stated that the conclusion has not been decided. They also reportedly answered "no" regarding whether there was a political purpose. For reference, this is not the first time; it is said that a similar discussion took place with Tzuyu's mother last September as well.

 

 

4. The reason Taiwan is particularly nervous

 

The reaction from Taiwanese national security officials is unusual, and local media outlets such as FTV have even put forward the analysis that "China is trying to create a model for united front activities targeting Taiwanese youth through Tzuyu." The basis is Tzuyu's increased influence are you.

• 2023 Survey: Over 90% of Taiwanese fans are under 30 years old
• Two concerts in Kaohsiung last November drew 110,000 people
• 120,000 people mobilized for the Taipei concert this March

 

They believe that a single remark by Tzuyu can actually have an impact on public opinion among Taiwan's young generation.

 

 

5. Do you remember the 2015 'flag incident'?

Actually, this isn't the first political controversy I've experienced. In 2015, a scene of 16-year-old Tzuyu waving the Taiwanese flag (Blue Sky and White Sun Flag) on ​​a Korean variety show sparked controversy in China regarding "support for Taiwan independence." It had spread to...

 

Eventually, wearing black clothes the day before the Taiwan presidential election the following year He uploaded an apology video titled "China is One," but at the time, public opinion in Taiwan was strongly that he had no choice but to apologize due to demands from his agency, leading him to be seen as a figure representing anti-China sentiment instead. There is a precedent where that came to light. So, there have been many reactions saying that this proposal seems to overlap with that time. 💡
