As you know, I am one of readers of your essay.
I am wondering the usage of two conjuctions, 'since' and 'until', in this writing. So, I corrected that part, but I have no confidence in my correction.
things were not that big since she didn't promote in Mainland and most mainlanders didn't know her at all. Until this Korean group started promotion in mainland China.
→ things were not that big until the Korean group which Tzuyu belonged to, started promotion in mainland China and many mainlanders knew her.
→ (or) not until she promoted in Mainland and many mainlanders knew her, were things not that big.
In addition, I have two questions.
1. What is "green media"? As far as I know, "green media" concern primarily "environment issues", don't they?
2. Does the Taiwanese vocalist support one-China policy?
The Chou Tzuyu Incident.
Recently, a video went viral on the internet, filming Chou Tzuyu, a 16-year-old Taiwanese celebrity of a new K-pop group, apologizing for her anti-one-China behaviour. The thing began from her taking part in a Korean reality show where she revealed her support for Taiwan independence.
Even though Taiwan green media kept describing her as "the light of Taiwan" for her pro-Taiwan stand and exaggerating that Mainlanders were heartbroken by her behaviour, things were not that big since she didn't play in Mainland and most Mainlanders didn't know her at all until this Korean group started playing in mainland China.
Seeing that Tzuyu had a pro-independence stand, a troll Taiwanese vocalist triggered a boycott against this Korean group on Weibo. Unfortunately, JYP corporation, which Tzuyu belonged to, was not politically sensitive enough to correct Tzuyu's "nationality" on its profile from Taiwan to Chinese Taipei beforehand. Meanwhile, the green media provocatively reported that "even Chinese netizens trying to force her out, Tzuyu is still flying to Beijing". Now patriotic netizens were furious and the fuse was lit.
Mainland TVs cancelled all play of JYP. And JYP refused to return the 10000 RMB deposit to Anhui TV and instead proposed a discount for other celebrities, replying that they couldn't choose between China and Taiwan. A foreign company wanted to make money in mainland but refused to accept the one-China policy.
Without a word of apology, JYP finally made its first announcement in English and Mandarin, stating that Tzuyu was only 16, too young to have formed her own political views and they halted the promotions due to malicious rumours. The second announcement seemed to be an apology, but mainly published on Weibo. Two days after the announcement, Tzuyu's apology video was released on Youtube, drawing the world's attention and sympathy. Green media emphasized her grievance of being blamed for waving the island's flag; JYP stated that the company never forced her to apologize; an influential FB account "koreaboo" insulted Chinese as "pigs" and criticized them for pressurising her. The world saw it as Chinese bullying a 16-year-old Taiwanese girl for waving the flag in a reality show.
She is a sacrificial lamb in a political game provoked by grean media, taking the blame for the careless and two-faced JYP. However, what really irritated mainlanders was the disingenuous JYP and the provocative green media.
Not much to add to the other corrections

1* more usual - began with - or maybe -started from.
2* or - she wasn't promoted - as it is probably the company who does the promotion.
3* on the mainland - or - in mainland China.
As previously commented both well written and well corrected.

You made some small mistakes, but overall, very good writing!
