Actor Lee Young-eun joined the audience for The King's Warden and was swept up in a bad-manner controversy.
Lee Young-eun posted on her personal SNS on the 2nd, "Before the movie started... I had no idea it would become a sea of tears. Suffering from The King's Warden" along with photos. The released photos showed Lee Young-eun visiting a movie theater with an acquaintance to see the film The King's Warden.
As The King's Warden was on the verge of surpassing 10 million viewers, news of Lee Young-eun's viewing also drew attention. But more noticeable than praise for the film was her behavior.
This was because in the photos Lee Young-eun posed with her shoe on and her foot up on the end of the sofa. In the background, other viewers had taken off their shoes and placed them under other seats to put their legs on the sofa, creating a stark contrast.
Contrary to Lee Young-eun's intention to share a review of The King's Warden, the post triggered controversy over her bad manners in a public place. As criticism that "you must observe public decorum" grew fierce, Lee Young-eun quietly deleted the post. As of the afternoon of the 4th, the related post could no longer be found.
Lee Young-eun is not the only one to put her feet up on shared seats in public places with her shoes on. Previously, singer and actor Min Do-hee was panned by public opinion for putting her legs on an airport chair without taking off her shoes. Meanwhile, singer Muzi drew criticism when a photo taken at a karaoke room showing her with her feet up on a sofa became a hot topic.
Of course, because celebrities' faces are widely known, they are easy targets for criticism. But since fame can bring popularity, honor and wealth, it is also necessary for them to strictly observe public morals. The increasing number of celebrities who display their daily lives on SNS leaves a regretful trend of forgetting morality too easily.
