ENA's Drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' Is Involved In Misandry Controversy As Its Rating Drops. Check out the full explanation in the news below.
The success of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is often tinged with criticism. Recently, the drama, starring Park Eun Bin, sparked misandry controversy among viewers.
Recently there have been many people criticizing "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" and linking it to the misandry controversy. Misandry itself is hatred or dislike of men or boys.
Misandri usually manifests in various forms such as sex discrimination, crimes against men to sexual objectification of men. Unfortunately, "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" has recently been deemed to have implied the misandry controversy.
Previously, the official Instagram of ENA as the broadcaster of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" posted the phrase "5.5 trillion". This word is usually used online to denote male hatred.
In addition, the meeting place of young Woo Kwang Ho (Jang Sung Bum) and Tae Su Mi (Jung Han Bit) while debating pregnancy and abortion is at "41, Hannam-dong". After the broadcast, netizens claimed that "Hannam" is a word to belittle men, while "74" is slang to denote sexual activity.
Some people also took issue with the case of the dismissal of Mir Life Insurance's wife's employee in episode 12. They expressed their displeasure by saying, "They form a frame where men are the perpetrators and women are the victims."
There are even those who argue that the controversy caused the "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" rating to drop in recent times. Unfortunately, the production team has not released an official position regarding this.
Meanwhile, "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" only leaves three final episodes and will end on August 18. Later this drama broadcast slot will be replaced with "Good Job" starring Jung Il Woo and Girls' Generation's Kwon Yuri. (wk/eval)
