Fans of YoonA were concerned about her having to act with Park Sung Hoon in an upcoming drama, but reactions were mixed in the thread.
Netizens gathered in a forum called, "What Is YoonA Going to Do? She's Acting With Jun Jae Joon in Her Next Project." The title, which mentioned Park Sung Hoon's acclaimed character in The Glory, expressed worry about YoonA's pairing with the actor in the upcoming drama The Tyrant's Chef.
"I'm completely turned off. Will people even be able to immerse themselves?" one netizen said.
"Isn't he going to withdraw?" another chimed in.
However, some netizens were neutral about the situation and called out the author for overreacting.
A netizen snarked, "This is such an overreaction, you elementary schooler."
"What's so wrong with posting an AV poster of Squid Game?" a second one joined. "I bet there's not even one Korean man over the age of 10 who hasn't watched Japanese adult videos."
The sentiments were based on Park Sung Hoon's latest controversy, which involved the actor having uploaded an NSFW (Not Safe For Work) Japanese AV (Adult Video) parody cover of a Squid Game on his Instagram Stories.
The cover immediately stormed social media and caught backlash among netizens despite being swiftly deleted from his account. Following the incident, Park Sung Hoon expressed his apologies through his agency BH Entertainment and imparted that the post was uploaded accidentally.
