Production Cancels Script Reading and Promo Photos for Upcoming K-drama A Tyrant’s Chef After Male Lead Park Sung Hoon Gets into Scandal with Porn Parody Instagram Post
K-actor Park Sung Hoon has been one of the new fan favorites among the new cast in season 2 of Squid Game which is no surprise as he’s always a scene stealer. But he’s now embroiled in a scandal related to SQ after he posted a picture of a Japanese porn parody screenshot in his Instagram. He deleted it immediately but the damage is done, he’s been excoriated for the inappropriate post along with posting it at a time when Korea is in a 7-day national mourning period for the devastating Jeju Air plane crash. Now it’s impacting his work as his next drama A Tyrant’s Chef with Yoona has cancelled the next day script reading and promo picture and industry insiders are not sure if he may be swapped out as male lead or the drama will go on after this scandal dies down.
What a ridiculous over reaction. Poor guy.
Not really. It’s a porn parody in which women are being raped to death. Hardly an overreaction at all.
I haven’t seen it, so I didn’t know. And this details was mentioned anywhere I have read about it. Only that it was a an adult parody.
It’s a RAPE porn for godsake. Eww this disgusting piece of shit.
My only contribution here is to say that he was and still is massacrated on X/Twitter. It’s not just Koreans pissed off at him, it’s everybody.
I can understand the anger as he post over this period of mourning. Honestly he really did a stupid thing. The current political situation is so bad now… the people involved need some scapegoats to take away the heat. Park Sung Hoon served himself on a craving platter. He is not big enough to distract much attention but something is better than nothing.
Shooting one in his own foot… this words really suits him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the actors have already seen that porn version. But it being a porn version of a production he’s in makes it seem more squicky. Like a porn version of my workplace would seem a lot more gross than a porn version of some other office setting.
lol it’s porn, so unless that’s now a new taboo, the right emotions would be utter mortification and awkwardness from PSH 😂 It’s so minor in the grand scheme of things. Great for him that he’s under BH Ent so this will not be affecting his career. They’ve managed to shield HHJ’s brother controversy which was rather impressive. And more recently, while other actors have had issues finding work, BH had no struggles getting untalented, charmless and far more immoral LJW lead roles like it’s nothing. PSH will be fine.
On a related note, Yoona has been having interesting luck with controversial actors. She was supposed to do a movie with Kim SunHo before he got into his scandal too, didn’t she?
LJW?
It was not JUST a porn parody BUT r*pe porn parody…just search the matter. he sucks big time.
