《功夫女足》“梨花队”，引韩国网友热议！

争议的核心来自片中一支名为“梨花队”的海外对手球队。

A new film directed by Stephen Chow, Kung Fu Soccer, has triggered widespread controversy among South Korean netizens over its portrayal of an opposing team named the "Pear Blossom Team", with many accusing the film of denigrating Korean football team.

影片中，该队球员在片中多次使用卑鄙手段：主动伸腿绊倒对手后假装受伤，用夸张演技诱导裁判出示黄牌或红牌。此外，队员戴彩色美瞳，在比赛中补妆打扮。

据羊城晚报报道，“梨花”这个队名，也被韩国网友认为是在影射韩国知名学府梨花女子大学。许多韩国网友认为该片是在“贬低韩国足球”。

The team is depicted as employing underhanded tactics — tripping opponents and feigning injuries to manipulate referees — while players are shown wearing coloured contact lenses and touching up makeup during matches.

The name "Pear Blossom" has also been interpreted by some Korean viewers as a reference to Ewha Womans University, one of South Korea's most prestigious women's universities.

韩国诚信女子大学教授徐坰德在社交媒体上发文，指责影片“不仅预告片，电影内也有很多贬低韩国女足的场面”，并指出片中梨花队“使用各种卑鄙手段的‘犯规足球’、佩戴彩色隐形眼镜、专注于化妆的球员形象，以及插入蹩脚的韩语引人发笑”。

Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University publicly criticised the film on social media, alleging that it contains "many scenes belittling Korean women's football" and objecting to the portrayal of the team's "foul play", the players' appearances, and the use of "broken Korean" for comedic effect.

In response, many Chinese netizens have dismissed the backlash, arguing that the "Pear Blossom Team" is a purely fictional, cartoonish antagonist and that Korean viewers should not take it personally.

Legal experts have weighed in on the controversy, clarifying that the film's depiction does not constitute infringement. Lawyer Li Zhenwu of Shanghai Lizhen Law Firm cited China's Civil Code, which states that literary and artistic works are not liable if they do not target specific real individuals, even if certain plot points coincidentally resemble reality.

Li stressed that creative freedom is legally protected as long as it does not involve defamation of identifiable real persons, and the Kung Fu Soccer setting clearly falls within this legal framework.
