Actor Park Sung-hoon has finally left the tvN drama "The Tyrant's Chef."

The main reason for this decision is the social media controversy that erupted late last year.

The controversial poster was sexually explicit, and the public reacted with shock, saying it was "too shocking to be a simple mistake."

The agency explained, "We accidentally uploaded the wrong photo while checking our DMs," but the prevailing opinion was that "it's hard to see it as a mistake." Some fans even raised suspicions, saying, "Maybe she intended to upload it to a private account but accidentally made it public."

 

3. What was the explanation and public reaction?

Park Sung-hoon shed tears and personally apologized during an interview for "Squid Game 2." He said, "I've been feeling remorse and regret for several days. I will be careful with my words and actions going forward," but public opinion was divided.

"The Tyrant's Chef" garnered attention even before its premiere, boasting a time-slip romance. The combination of Park Sung-hoon and Yoona garnered much attention, but controversy necessitated a change in the male lead.

 

Given the genre's emphasis on image management, the controversy surrounding the lead actor's adult content was devastating, and the production team ultimately made a decision. Ironically, the news of his departure actually increased the show's popularity.

 

5. Park Sung-hoon's family's explanation and past struggles

Park Sung-hoon personally addressed the once-controversial "golden spoon" rumors on "You Quiz on the Block." He revealed, "My family's financial situation fell apart after the IMF crisis. My father retired from a bank and became a real estate agent, but we struggled financially."

 

He shared anecdotes about how he couldn't even afford a hamburger in high school because he couldn't receive any support other than transportation expenses, how his parents apologized and said, "We can't even give you 5,000 won" during his military leave, and even his experience of living in a semi-basement "Parasite House" for seven years, carrying out his acting career by pumping water during the rainy season.

 

In other words, contrary to the myths about his wealth and silver spoon in his mouth, Park Sung-hoon was actually an actor who persevered through difficult circumstances. While the recent controversy and departure may have put a damper on his performance, his honest confession resonates with fans in a different way.
