Disney+ has just announced the upcoming 2026 Korean drama The remarried empress.
This is one of the most anticipated blockbusters, because The Promise Queen is the Korean drama with the highest production budget that Disney+ has ever made.
However, as soon as the producer revealed the appearances of the main characters, the online community was arguing about Joo Ji Hoon's Emperor So Vieshu character.
In the image of Joo Ji Hoon wearing a royal costume, the actor added a medal to his shirt. However, many people believe that this medal has many similarities with the medal of the German Republic during World War II.
After being criticized by the audience, on November 15, Studio N - the production company behind the film - spoke up to explain and apologize.
The company said: "We sincerely apologize for the shortcomings in the inspection of the newly announced costumes, causing discomfort to the audience.
The production team is well aware of the seriousness of the incident and will take careful monitoring measures, including replacing the published images and taking steps to prevent a recurrence.
The Queen of Re Marriage is adapted from the online novel of the same name, the plot revolves around the Empress Navier (Shin Min Ah) of the Eastern Dynasty, who lost her title to the queen after Emperor So Vieshu (Joo Ji Hoon) falls in love with a escaped slave named Rashta (Lee Se Young). She later regained her title by marrying Prince Heinrey (Lee Jong Suk) of the Western Imperial Court.
According to the revelation, the film about this royal family was filmed at many other locations in Europe. Investment in setting, fashion, and production design promises to bring a magnificent work.
As the producer admitted errors in the props censorship process, the audience is interested in how the scenes featuring these props will be handled in the official broadcast version.
