2PM's Junho became the target of criticism from South Korean netizens after posting a photo of himself with SNSD's Yoona on Instagram. Check out the following reasons and netizen responses.
2PM's Junho became the target of criticism after posting a photo of himself with Girls' Generation's Yoona on Instagram. To assuage netizens' anger, he changed the hashtag "The Red Sleeve" in his post.
On December 31, 2021, Junho uploaded his photo with Yoona after the two collaborated at the 2021 MBC Gayo Daejejeon. Because Yoona was wearing a red dress, he cutely added the hashtag "The Red Sleeve" to his post.
As is known, "The Red Sleeve" is an MBC drama starring Junho and Lee Se Young. This drama tells the love story of King Jeongjo and court lady Seong Deok Im.
Because Junho had not previously posted a photo with Lee Se Young, fans became very angry. He is considered to have no respect for Lee Se Young's feelings and the drama's viewers.
"Why are you holding someone else's sleeve besides Deok Im?" said a netizen. "Your post is very disturbing," added another netizen.
"Please pay attention to drama viewers and your co-star, Lee Se Young," said another. "Why did you add that hashtag when the drama wasn't over yet? Did you really thank the viewers?" concluded the other netizens.
After changing the hashtag, Junho made a new post about his win and "The Red Sleeve" at the 2021 MBC Drama Awards. He also shared a photo with Lee Se Young while expressing his gratitude to viewers.
Meanwhile, "The Red Sleeve" has aired its last episode on Saturday (1/1) last night. As expected, this drama presents many sad and tearful scenes in its final episode.
In this episode, Seong Deok Im (Lee Se Young) finally becomes the concubine of King Jeongjo (Junho). Unfortunately their son died when he was young, as did Seong Deok Im who died at a young age while pregnant.
To reduce the sadness of the audience, the production team presents scenes that can be considered as afterlife. This is because the young King Jeongjo suddenly woke up in Seong Deok Im's lap after dreaming of these sad events. (wk/eval)
