Actor Park Sung Hoon has come under fire recently after accidentally posting an explicit parody poster of Netflix’s 'Squid Game' on social media. The actor quickly deleted the post and issued an apology, but the incident has sparked a wave of sensational headlines and criticism.

On December 31, an OSEN article titled, "Enduring Life in a Semi-Basement and Obscurity… Will Park Sung Hoon's 'Hard-Earned Success' Collapse Over a Momentary Mistake?" was released revisiting the actor's mistake.

The article explained, "Actor Park Sung Hoon's acting career has been marred by a blemish. A momentary mistake has dealt a blow to the reputation he has built over the years."

Despite the early reaction of netizens criticizing the actor, many are now coming to his defense and condemning reporters for continuing to release sensationalized headlines.

They are criticizing:

"At this point, it really feels like reporters are the real antis these days."

"If it became an issue for one day, that’s enough—why keep talking about it for days on end? And of course, they’re not calling him Jeon Jae-joon in this situation, lol.

"He didn't break the law, what's all the fuss?"

"What’s the big deal?"

"If you search on Google, you’ll find tons of explicit content. All men watch it, so stop making a story out of nothing."

"Even people who post their own body parts online continue their careers just fine—why worry? In a year, everyone will forget, and they’ll move on like nothing happened.

"Nobody cares~~~~~"

"It’s not like this was a hidden camera or revenge porn—it’s just the cover of a legal adult parody. Trying to bury him over this seems disgustingly deliberate."

"Seriously… Is this something worth saying it’s ruining his acting career? The reaction should just be, 'Oh, he’s a guy like any other. Got caught watching porn—how embarrassing.' That’s it."

"People defend presidents who’ve posted porn on Twitter, but a celebrity accidentally posts one photo, and everyone’s out for blood? Public figures who aren’t even really public officials get treated harshly, while drunk drivers and presidents posting explicit content get a pass. Why are people like this?"

"It’s obviously a mistake—what’s the big deal? If that’s the standard, did the former president’s life fall apart when they did something similar on social media?"

"Everyone seems fine with it, but reporters look like they’re trying to bury Park Sung Hoon. Why? Did he do something wrong? Is it because his agency is too small?"
