Actress Na Moon-hee expressed concern, mentioning her unintentional experience with the 'leftist' controversy, saying, "The world has really become rotten."

On the 5th, Na Moon-hee appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' to promote the film 'Picnic' and shared an anecdote about being labeled as a leftist and receiving protests after appearing on a radio program hosted by Kim Eo-jun. Na Moon-hee said, "Looking at that person, I felt good that day. So I told Mr. Kim Eo-jun that it was fine, and from then on, they started calling me a leftist." She added, "It was ridiculous. What kind of leftist am I?"

Na Moon-hee continued, "Some people were calling me intensively to check my political orientation. I thought it was really rotten, even if the world is rotten. There are people who push others to one side," she said. Broadcaster Kim Gu-ra chimed in, saying, "Actors compliment each other to lighten the atmosphere with the hosts."

Actress Kim Young-ok, who appeared alongside Na Moon-hee, also empathized, saying, "They would say that Kim Young-ok knows you (Na Moon-hee) and that's why..." Kim Young-ok continued, "We don't know about left or right. It's just so sad that the country is chaotic," adding, "We've lived through the Japanese occupation, felt the joy of liberation, and endured the Korean War; it's just too sad."

Na Moon-hee said, "Haven't we had democracy for only a short time? We must protect it well. I came out to talk about this today."
