Lost job for covering BLACKPINK member's choreography

In Hong Kong (China), to celebrate their last working day, 3 news anchors of Cable TV News invited 2 more colleagues to make a dance cover video of the song Flower by Jisoo (BLACKPINK).

A female MC excitedly posted a video on her personal Instagram page with the caption: "We are not professional cover dancers, we are 5 flowers who just practiced today...".

The video quickly attracted the attention of the online community, including Raymond Wong, Chairman of the Public Broadcasting Service Review Committee of Hong Kong (China). He expressed his dissatisfaction and left a negative comment: "A real disgrace to journalism!"

Immediately, the director of Cable TV News sent an internal email condemning the actions of the MC group and correcting the behavior of the staff. Specifically, the leader of Cable TV News wrote: "The professional image of Cable TV News is built by the hard work of everyone in the department and is maintained by the perseverance of all. I hope everyone understands that the office is a single entity, not an individual or a group of people. Your actions represent Cable TV News. Everyone works together, be careful with your words and actions.

The newsroom is the core of the news department and has symbolic meaning. Everyone should make full use of its functions to bring viewers the fastest, most up-to-date, most professional news, and not treat it as a stage for entertainment and games.

Lost job for covering BLACKPINK member's choreography - 2 — MC Terrie Leung is unlikely to find a related job in the near future.

The video was later removed, citing “upper management was not satisfied.” The careers of the female MCs were also severely affected. The two MCs, Yanna Yu and Terrie Leung, had originally planned to start work at another TV channel, but the management of that channel is currently reviewing their contracts. Many in the industry believe that it will be difficult for them to find a related job in the near future.

The song Flower marked Jisoo's solo career. The song quickly became a global sensation with its addictive melody. In particular, the choreography in the MV became a trend on TikTok, receiving a lot of response.
