Amidst the cancellation of the script reading for tvN’s new drama ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’, actor Park Sung-hoon, who sparked controversy by posting Japanese AV (adult video) photos on SNS, has made a statement. A representative from BH Entertainment told Ilgan Sports on the 2nd, “The script reading for ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’, which was scheduled for today, has been rescheduled in accordance with the national mourning period.” ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’ is a drama depicting the story of a chef who, upon reaching the top, time travels to the past and meets a king who is considered the worst tyrant but also the greatest gourmet. The drama has attracted attention with the involvement of Lim Yoon-a and Park Sung-hoon.
Previously, on the 30th of last month, Park Sung-hoon posted and deleted a group photo of Japanese AV actors with a Netflix ‘Squid Game 2’ concept on his personal SNS, sparking controversy.
Following the controversy, there are increasing voices from viewers demanding Park Sung-hoon’s removal from ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’. Reporter Sujin Lee sujin06@edaily.co.kr
