Chau Kiet Luan was accused of "flipping his face" after Rosé's piano performance, Chinese fans were outraged

After Jun Ji Hyun was involved in a scandal of defamation against China, K-pop was strongly boycotted in this market. Chau Kiet Luan caused controversy when he admired Rosé ( BLACKPINK ), making netizens dissatisfied.

Recently, the online community was stirred when Rosé, a member of the group BLACKPINK, posted a clip of herself playing the piano song in the movie Untold Secrets. Shortly afterwards, Chau Kiet Luan – the "king of Asian pop" – re-shared this clip with an exclamation in English: "I didn't expect you to play this song. It's amazing, thank you." The male singer also commented in Chinese: "Thank you for performing my work".

This action immediately attracted the attention of netizens, because Rosé never responded. Many people think that Chau Kiet Luan's reaction is somewhat too flattering, especially considering his position in the Chinese music industry. Some opinions say that as a prestigious senior, he does not need to be surprised by a performance, especially when Unspeakable Secrets were once very popular in Korea, reaching more than 800,000 views in theaters.

This is also not the first time Chau Kiet Luan has expressed his views on the Hallyu wave. Previously, in 2012, when PSY's "Gangnam Style" caused a global fever, he expressed concern about the Chinese music industry being overly affected by the Korean wave. The male singer called on domestic artists to unite to protect Chinese musical identity, and at the same time implied that celebrities should not "jump horses", that is, too dependent on Korean culture. He once shared: "I find Gangnam Style funny, but Chinese music is deeper."

However, the latest move with Rosé makes many people feel that Chau Kiet Luan is having a change in approach. Many comments suggest that this may be a manifestation of insecurity before age and the ability to compose is no longer as good as it was at its peak. In addition, the male singer was also commented that he did not give the attention he deserves to domestic artists.

In recent times, Chau Kiet Luan has not only paid attention to Korean stars but also expanded relationships with international stars. In July, when G-Dragon held a concert in Taiwan, Chau Kiet Luan sent a basket of congratulatory flowers, causing rumors of a music collaboration project between the two artists to spread. He also repeatedly shared photos of gatherings with G-Dragon, revealing that the two often chat through music and alcohol.

Previously, the male singer also showed off an invitation card from Taylor Swift's concert, but later fans found out that this was just a regular ticket class that he had to buy like other audiences. These moves show that Chau Kiet Luan is looking to connect with international artists, in addition to maintaining her position in China.

Chau Kiet Luan, born in 1979, is considered an Asian pop icon with many impressive achievements. He was in the top 3 most downloaded artists in the world in 2010 and sold more than 30 million albums as of 2017. This incident not only attracted attention from K-pop fans but also provoked many debates about the attitude of veteran artists to the international wave. Many people think that Chau Kiet Luan still retains his influence, but how to show admiration for young stars needs to be considered to maintain a long-term reputation in the Chinese music industry.
