Wuthering Waves Korea Event Faces Backlash Over Sign Controversy Involving Chinese Fans

A recent Wuthering Waves (Wuwa) event held in Korea has become a hot topic, especially among fans in China and Korea. The drama started on the first day of the event, and it didn’t take long before it spread across the internet, news articles, and even TV in China.

At the heart of the controversy is a sign that appeared at the event, which read: “Only Koreans are allowed to enter today.” This sparked strong reactions from Chinese fans who viewed the sign as discriminatory. Many felt hurt and excluded, especially since Wuthering Waves has a large Chinese fanbase.

The reason behind the sign, according to what happened at the event, was due to Chinese scalpers. On the first day, they reportedly bought up almost all the merchandise. Many Korean fans who had waited in line were left with nothing. In an attempt to control the situation and make things fair, the event organizers decided to limit entry to Korean citizens for that day. However, this decision backfired and caused an even bigger issue.

The sign quickly went viral on Chinese social media, drawing heavy criticism. Fans accused the event of racism and discrimination, leading to widespread backlash. In response, Kuro Games, the developer behind Wuthering Waves, issued two public apologies. First, they apologized for the sign, and second, for how the event was handled overall.

Plot Twist!

It was later confirmed that the sign was not placed by Kuro Games themselves, but by the event organizers. Still, Kuro took responsibility and promised to improve how these situations are managed in the future to prevent further problems.
