Deemed Racist, International Audience Criticizes New Characters in 'Penthouse 3'

On June 11, 2021, the third season of 'Penthouse' has aired their second episode. Through the latest episode, 'Penthouse' introduces a new character named Alex, the brother of Logan from the United States.

The character is shown with dreadlocks and uses African-American Vernacular English, which is considered to give rise to inappropriate cultural perceptions by viewers of the drama outside South Korea.

Many criticisms have been made by the audience through various social media using the hashtags #boycottpenthouse and #SBSwhy on Twitter and flooding the comments column in Alex's still cut posts on Instagram.

Until now, SBS as the television station that broadcast the drama has not yet opened up about the various criticisms leveled at the new character 'Penthouse', Alex. (www.kpopchart.net)
