Netizens are divided on how 'believable' this controversial scene from Netflix's 'Celebrity' is

AKP STAFF

Shortly after the global release of the new Netflix-original series 'Celebrity', one scene from episode 5 quickly became one of the "hottest" and "most controversial" scenes, creating a heated debate on online communities. 


The scene in question from episode 5 features the chaebol Han Jun Kyung (played by CNBLUE's Minhyuk) taking off his shoes after arriving at his residence, while his guest Seo Ari (Park Gyu Young) watches.

As shown above, once Jun Kyung walks through the doors into the entrance hall of his residence, a maid trails behind him, bent with her hands outstretched toward his shoes. She then reaches out to grab his shoes from behind quickly so that Jun Kyung can continue walking without pause, then collects the shoes as soon as Jun Kyung steps out of them. 

Arguably one of the "most controversial" scenes from the Netflix series by viewers within its first week, this "How a chaebol takes off his shoes" scene has created a major buzz. 


Some netizens said,

"How did he not trip lol."
"What did I just watch kekekekekeke."
"Okay but what about his socks kekekekeke. And why didn't he step into some indoor shoes after taking his dress shoes off kekekekeke. There's literally nothing cool about this scene kekekekeke."
"I think this scene was supposed to show how the chaebol abuse their power, but all it really did was make the chaebol out to be brainless fools kekekekeke."
"That is such a gamble for the person walking and the person trying to grab the shoes kekekekeke. It could go wrong in so many ways."
"There is no way they got this scene in one take kekekekeke."
"This is supposed to be a funny scene, right."
"Just stop and stand still for like two seconds kekekekeke."
"Well they just invented a whole new extreme sport."

But others commented, 

"I'm actually suspicious about if the writer heard about something like that happening in real life, and incorporated based on what they heard. It's so ridiculous it feels like an ordinary person could never imagine something so absurd."
"The music and everything makes it so comical kekekekeke. But I actually wonder if the scene is inspired by something actual people experienced, because it's so unbelievable."
"I agree, I say they put this scene in because they actually heard something like this happening in real life."
"Why do I feel like there might be rich people out there who do this, but standing still, not walking... Like can't be bothered to bend down just to take their shoes off."
"It's so beyond my imagination that I'm actually speechless... I thought it just be something like the maid takes the shoes off for them if they put their foot up on a footstool..." 
"The writer actually did a lot of research into what goes on behind the scenes with the upper echelon of society, right? I bet this happens in real life."
