Last October, a plan to ban South Korea drama in the Philippines made headlines in the mainstream news and social media. Fans and overall Hallyu enthusiasts showed their frustration with the comments of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who proposed to halt the showing of “Korean novelas” to support local Filipino artists who were hit by the pandemic. This was resolved with Jinggoy clarifying that he did not plan to pursue the ban.

However, the senator’s comments received hundreds of backlash and sentiments from the Filipino community, bringing up that a ban is not a solution to the problem of local artists not getting much support. Instead, they said lawmakers should focus on improving the quality of local shows.
