New information has just come to light in regards to the recent scandal involving actor Park Sung Hoon mistakenly posting an explicit parody poster to his social media. The 'Squid Game' actor briefly posted an explicit AV poster depicting a graphic parody of 'Squid Game,' but took the post down within a minute after uploading it.

Park Sung Hoon apologized soon after, with his agency, BH Entertainment, providing the explanation that the explicit poster had been sent to his DMs, resulting in him accidentally uploading it without realizing what it was. His representatives stated, "Park Sung Hoon received an overwhelming number of direct messages (DMs) on his social media. While checking the DMs, he accidentally uploaded the image.”

However, only a day later, Park Sung Hoon's agency has come forward with more accurate information regarding the incident. BH Entertainment issued the following statement:

"Actor Park Sung Hoon said yesterday, 'It was uploaded due to a mistake while checking the DMs,' but we would like to explain in more detail.

Park Sung Hoon received it (the Japanese AV cover) as a direct message, but he felt it was problematic, so he downloaded the photo in question with the intention of sending it to the company manager. He should have saved it, sent it to the manager, and then deleted it right away, but it was uploaded by mistake."

When asked why Park Sung Hoon would feel the need to report such a DM to his manager, BH Entertainment's representative answered: "I think he decided to send it because he thought it would be a problem that such strange things were floating around about his work."

In the wake of this recent incident, controversy has erupted surrounding Park Sung Hoon's future work. The actor is scheduled to star in the upcoming drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' alongside Girls' Generation's Yoona, but many netizens are now calling for Park Sung Hoon to step down from the role.
