1. The truth behind Park Seo Joon's 6 billion won lawsuit
Park Seo-joon has filed a lawsuit for damages against a soy sauce specialty store that used a scene from his previous drama, "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?", in an advertisement without permission.
Initially, his image was used in search ads and banners on portal sites, but since 2019, his agency has repeatedly requested that it be removed. Despite this, the store did not respond, and the case escalated into a lawsuit. The media reported it as a "6 billion won lawsuit," but the actual claim was 60 million won. The court ordered him to pay 5 million won.
The agency, Awesome ENT, emphasized that "we will take legal action against any malicious slander or secondary victimization."
2. Was the "Garo" comment a targeting of Kim Soo Hyun? The full story
Park Seo Joon's Instagram post "What were you doing in Paris? Garo" led to suspicions of his connection to the YouTube channel 'GaroCero Research Institute' and led to him being embroiled in a scandal involving the assassination of Kim Soo Hyun.
The CEO of GaroCero Research Institute claimed that "Kim Soo Hyun had been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron, who was underage, for six years," and some saw Park Seo Joon's statement as "implicit support." However, fans countered, saying, "He has always written 'vertical' and 'horizontal' according to the orientation of the photo," and many said that this was an exaggerated interpretation.
Furthermore, Park Seo-joon's comment during a past appearance on "You Quiz on the Block," in which he said, "I was shocked to find that crimes targeting minors are much more common than I imagined," once again drew attention, fueling further speculation.
3. Headband refusal controversy…Misunderstanding with fans and explanation
Park Seo-joon caused controversy when he refused to wear a headband given to him by a fan during a stage greeting for the 2023 film "Concrete Utopia."
Park Bo-young tried to give a headband she received from a fan to Park Seo-joon, but he made a gesture that he wouldn't wear it, and the video went viral. Park Bo-young explained on her fan cafe, "I sweat a lot that day, so I used hair spray to keep my hair in place. If I put something on my scalp, it would hurt."
He also said, "I didn't think the headband was meant for me. I thought it might have been a gift from Park Bo-young's fans, so I was reluctant to accept it." Furthermore, regarding the incident where a female audience member suddenly hugged him during another stage greeting, he said, "I smelled alcohol and it took me a while to realize what was going on, but I managed to settle the situation peacefully."
