View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Seo Kyung-duk, a Korean public relations expert and professor at Sungshin Women's University, stated that he will "fight to the end with Baidu," China's largest portal site, which listed poet Yun Dong-ju's nationality as Chinese and ethnicity as Joseonjok, until it is correctly changed.
On the morning of the 30th, Professor Seo posted on his Facebook, saying, "This year can be seen as a year when China's cultural Northeast Project has intensified significantly."
He continued, "It is a big problem that they claim Korea's traditional culture such as kimchi, samgyetang, hanbok, and gat as their own, but it is also a serious problem that Baidu is distorting the 'nationality' and 'ethnicity' of our independence activists," adding, "Today (the 30th) is poet Yun Dong-ju's birthday, so I searched Baidu Encyclopedia again and found that they still list his nationality as 'China (中?)' and ethnicity as 'Joseonjok (朝鮮族)'."
Professor Seo said, "I sent another protest email to Baidu this morning," and added, "Because of these continuous activities, at the end of February this year, the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper, Global Times, strongly criticized my activities. It is truly a case of 'the pot calling the kettle black.'"

Finally, Professor Seo emphasized, "Regarding independence activists Lee Bong-chang and Yun Bong-gil, Baidu also introduces their nationality as 'Joseon (朝鮮)' and ethnicity as 'Joseonjok (朝鮮族)'," and said, "We should not only be angry at their behavior but also accurately inform what is wrong and stand up more confidently to correct the distortion."
