January 16, 2025 – The drama 'The Queen Who Crowns,' currently streaming on Tving and airing on tvN, has sparked controversy following its bold explicit scenes involving lead actors Cha Joo Young and Lee Yi Dam. There are growing concerns over whether the actors were coerced into performing these scenes or if body doubles were used, fueling further debate.
A representative from 'The Queen Who Crowns; confirmed to Spotv News on the 16th that they are "currently confirming" the details regarding the controversial exposure scenes. These scenes aired in the first two episodes, featuring provocative nudity and intimate moments between the lead characters, which have since generated widespread attention and criticism.
On Tving, the drama was released with a 19+ rating, containing the explicit scenes, while the tvN version, rated 15+, aired with the scenes removed. Despite this difference in content, the storyline remained intact, suggesting that the explicit scenes were not essential to the plot.
It has since been revealed that these scenes were not originally part of the script, leading to speculation that the production team may have used computer-generated graphics or body doubles to heighten the intensity of the scenes. This has raised concerns about whether the actors were used as part of a '19+ marketing strategy,' drawing criticism over the handling of the production.
As the controversy continues, both fans and industry insiders are awaiting further clarification from the production team and cast members.
