Unfortunately for Park, the response has been less than favorable. Many netizens expressed relief at his departure, with much of the reaction tied to the recent controversy surrounding the actor’s social media incident.
Park had done it “mistakenly” uploaded a parody of Squid game 2 related to adult content, which caused quite a stir. Although the post was quickly deleted, the damage to his reputation remained, especially as the incident coincided with a period of national mourning.
While some acknowledged the actor’s public apology and highlighted the inadvertent nature of the upload, many pointed out that his continued presence in a romantic drama could disrupt viewers’ immersion in the plot. Others also sympathized with the production team, which now faces the challenge of finding a replacement for Park’s role.
- “Thank God…”
- “It’s a relief, but at the same time what a nuisance for the production company. It will take some time to find a new male lead again.
- “But honestly, every time I see Park Sung Hoon now, I just think ap*rn lol.”
- “What a relief…”
- “Resigning was the right choice. Even if we accept the explanation that it was an honest mistake, it’s not like this is a thriller or anything like that. If the male protagonist of a romantic comedy does something like that, viewers can’t stay immersed in the story.”
