On December 30, Park Sung-hoon uploaded a parody image of “Squid Game” on his personal social media account, featuring an AV (Adult Video) cover concept. Realizing his mistake, Park Sung-hoon quickly deleted the image, but it had already spread widely, and the screenshot was saved and spread online.
In response, his agency, BH Entertainment, explained: “Park Sung-hoon received a large number of direct messages on his social media, and while checking them, he accidentally uploaded the image.” However, some netizens did not believe the explanation, claiming that he saved and uploaded the AV photo on purpose.
The vague clarification only further fueled the controversy, prompting the agency to issue a more detailed statement. They explained that Park Sung-hoon had received the image via DM, realized the potential problem, and intended to send it to his company’s representatives. Unfortunately, during this process, he mistakenly uploaded it to his social media account.
As a result, a momentary lapse in judgment left a stain on the actor’s otherwise commendable career. Park Sung-hoon made his debut in 2008 with the film “A Frozen Flower,” after which he experienced years of obscurity. In a recent appearance on the talk show “You Quiz on the Block,” he spoke about his struggles at the beginning of his acting career. Having lived in a basement flat for seven years during her school days due to financial difficulties, her journey has been far from easy.
Despite enduring such hardships, his career began to change direction after meeting his breakthrough project, the Netflix original series “The Glory,” on December 30, 2022. His performance as the school bully Jeon Jae-joon marked a turning point in his career, which was followed by the role of Yoon Eun-sung in the tvN drama series “Queen of Tears”, which earned him great love.
Building a stable career, Park Sung-hoon made his 50th appearance in this year’s “Squid Game 2,” where his performance as a cross-dresser attracted attention and praise for his acting transformation.
Unfortunately, this unexpected mistake left a significant stain on his career. Netizens have expressed mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment, while others believe that everyone makes mistakes and that the actor, who is talented, should not be judged too harshly.
