Recently, Park Min Young and Wi Ha Joon appeared on a YouTube show to talk about the behind-the-scenes of the movie "Siren's Kiss". Here, Park Min Young mentioned a kissing scene and said that Wi Ha Joon - her co-star who is 5 years younger than her, does not have much experience with romantic projects. The actress said that he once shared that this is only the 2nd or 3rd time he has done a kissing scene on screen, while she has participated in many romantic movies.
She said she had never done many romantic things before. There was a kissing scene in the movie, and she said it was only the second or third time. I have done many romantic projects, so if it's your third kissing scene, then Wi Ha Joon is really like "a newborn baby", Park Min Young joked.
However, the statement that caused Park Min Young to face much criticism was when describing in more detail the kissing scene between her and her co-star. She described Wi Ha Joon as "having very full lips and a relatively big mouth".
After the share was excerpted and spread on forums, fierce debates broke out. Some opinions defended Park Min Young, saying that this is a humorous storytelling style often seen on entertainment shows, the purpose is to create laughter and increase interaction, and should not be "fouled" in a serious way.
However, negative reactions prevailed in many online communities. Many comments said that publicly describing details of an intimate scene with a co-star is insensitive, which can put the other person in a difficult position, especially when the content spreads outside the program context. Many people also hypothesized that "if gender reversal", similar statements could be heavily criticized.
