Regarding the film Real and the story of Sulli being forced to film a hot scene, this time the actress's brother continues to question the role of the director as well as his disappearance at the end of filming.
According to Korean media reports on April 9, many sources confirmed that the film's original director and screenwriter, Lee Jung Sub, resigned near the end of filming amid internal conflict and suspected financial misconduct.
According to those in the situation who know the situation well, Mr. Lee has been criticized for being accused of being seamless, charging too high a fee for the production cost and operating cost of the film.
The crew has signed an agreement to secure the release of the film, which is said to have cost 11.5 billion won (about $7.8 million) to produce.
There are also concerns that Lee has secured funding from brands competing with the film's main investor, raising additional warning signs of conflict of interest.
After Mr. Lee left, the editing and promotion of the film was said to be assigned to director Lee Sa Rang, Kim Soo Hyun's cousin and the head of the management company Gold Medalist. This change led to speculation that the new director had taken strategic control of the production process.
Nearly eight years after the film was released, Sulli's brother sparked controversy by accusing that Sulli's nativity scenes and bedside scenes were not originally stated in the script and were eventually filmed despite the presence of a stunt double.
Sulli's brother also affirmed that Sulli had experienced significant physical and mental suffering during that time and questioned why she had to take the scenes herself.
However, sources close to the film crew confirmed that Lee was the real director of the controversial nune scenes and had been involved in discussions with Sulli about the scenes.
Sulli's brother has now called for complete transparency about the change of director, questioning how a director could be fired after being said to have completed 80% of filming.
