Independent:

K-pop group Everglow’s Wang Yiren is facing backlash for using traditional Chinese etiquette instead of the South Korean gesture of kneeling after a performance.

During an event in Seoul last week, while the girl group members knelt down and touched the floor with their foreheads in traditional Korean style, Wang used a Chinese hand gesture to express thank you.

In South Korea, kneeling remains in use to show gratitude and offer thanks.
