Park Sung Hoon, the talented actor we all loved in The Glory and Queen of Tears, is making waves again, but not just for his acting skills. He’s caught in the middle of some drama off-screen, thanks to his new role in Squid Game Season 2. Let’s unpack what’s going on.
The Role That Sparked a Debate
So, Park Sung Hoon plays Hyun Ju, a transgender woman who joins the deadly games to fund her gender-affirming surgery. Sounds intense, right? While his casting has stirred up some excitement, it’s also brought criticism.
Some fans and critics feel the role should’ve gone to a transgender actress. But the director, Hwang Dong Hyuk, explained how tough it is to find openly transgender actors in Korea because of societal challenges.
But Wait… There’s More
As if all this wasn’t enough, Park Sung Hoon claimed to have accidentally posted a parody Japanese adult video cover of Squid Game on his social media. Yep, that really happened. The internet went wild for a minute, but he apologized and promised to be careful from now.
