Actor Lee Young-eun became the center of a bad-manners controversy after she was photographed with her shoes on and her feet up on a movie theater seat. As the controversy spread, Lee Young-eun quietly deleted the post and moved to manage the situation.
On the 2nd, Lee Young-eun posted on her social media, "Before the movie started… at that moment I had no idea it would turn into a sea of tears. Suffering from 'The King's Warden'," along with several photos.
The released photos show Lee Young-eun visiting the theater to see the movie "The King's Warden." Wearing comfortable training clothes, Lee Young-eun sat on the sofa drinking a cola and left a photo as proof.
The problem was Lee Young-eun's posture. Lee Young-eun had her feet up on the sofa with her shoes on and was posing. Because theater seats are used by many people, she was criticized for not taking off her shoes and putting her legs on the sofa. Critics said she failed to observe public place etiquette.
In particular, the controversy grew when, unlike Lee Young-eun, other viewers were seen taking off their shoes before putting their legs up. In the end, Lee Young-eun deleted the post after the controversy spread.
Bad-manners controversies involving celebrities in public places have been a recurring issue recently. Earlier in January, singer Jeon Somi was embroiled in controversy over a selfie taken inside a taxi in Japan. She posted photos enjoying her trip to Japan, including a selfie taken while riding in a taxi in which she had her foot raised toward the front seat with her shoes on.
At the time, Jeon Somi was criticized for the bad-manners act of raising her foot toward the front seat with her shoes on inside a taxi used by multiple people.
More recently, actor Kim Ji-ho was criticized after posting a photo showing that she had underlined a library book with a ballpoint pen at a community library. On the 18th of last month, Kim Ji-ho posted an update on her channel showing herself reading in her parents' hospital room.
The problem was that Kim Ji-ho underlined in pen a book she wrote had "been put off and finally read." The book Kim Ji-ho underlined was a public library book borrowed from the library. Because Kim Ji-ho had previously posted photos of underlining books borrowed from the library, she was criticized as "habitual" for careless behavior. Some said she should compensate, claiming she damaged a public resource, the library book.
In the end, Kim Ji-ho apologized, saying, "First, I want to apologize to those who were uncomfortable because of my careless actions. When I read a book borrowed from a public library, my habit of underlining in my own books because I want to remember certain parts came out. It's ridiculous. When someone pointed it out, I immediately realized I had done wrong," and said she would compensate out of her own pocket.
