Recently, the action role-playing game "Black Myth: Wukong" developed by a Chinese game company has caused a global craze and set off a phenomenal cultural carnival. However, this game based on the Chinese classic "Journey to the West" unexpectedly triggered a cross-border cultural controversy. In a Taiwanese media program, the host and guests severely criticized the remarks of some Korean netizens that "Black Myth: Wukong is Korean culture", which attracted widespread attention.

When Black Myth: Wukong became a global hit, some Korean netizens actually claimed that "this is our Korean culture" and even absurdly claimed that "Wu Chengen is Korean." This unfounded statement immediately caused a strong response. In a program on Taiwanese media, the guest clearly pointed out: "Wu Chengen is from Jiangsu, how can it be related to Korea?" The host also echoed: "Korea thinks everything belongs to it." This misappropriation of Chinese culture not only exposed the ignorance of some Korean netizens, but also triggered people's thinking about cultural respect and intellectual property protection.

South Korea has once again become the focus of this controversy. In recent years, South Korea has made remarkable achievements in cultural exports, but it has also been questioned for frequent disputes over cultural ownership with its neighbors. From traditional festivals to food culture, to the current game industry, South Korea seems to always try to incorporate cultural elements of neighboring countries into its own cultural landscape. This behavior not only damages the good atmosphere of international cultural exchanges, but also arouses people's doubts about South Korea's cultural confidence.
