According to Koreaboo, a statement by Korean actor Yoo Yeon Seok from 2016 is recently spreading widely on social media.
At that time, Yoo Yeon Seok and actress Moon Chae Won were promoting the movie “The Mood of The Day”.
When asked about what to wear on a date, Yoo Yeon Seok said, “If a woman wears something transparent, so you can see something whenever they walk, if they wear something like that when they go out with me, I would think that they like me.
If they cover it all up, it feels like they're putting up a wall and I think they don't like me.”
In response, Moon Chae Won said that she often wears turtlenecks and long pants when going on dates, but Yoo Yeon Seok said, "That's why I don't have a boyfriend," making the actress feel uncomfortable.
Last year, Yoo Yeon Seok was also accused of using disrespectful words towards a security guard at the building where he lived, to the point that the guard quit his job out of shame.
But the actor's management company denied the incident, asserting that the allegations about Yoo Yeon Seok were baseless and threatening to take legal action against those who spread the news.
Yoo Yeon Seok is currently a hot face on Korean screens, with the male lead role in the MBC drama “When the phone rings” and released simultaneously on Netflix.
The series has been in the Top 2 of Netflix's most-watched TV shows worldwide for two consecutive weeks, with a "huge" number of views.
Although the show was postponed for 2 episodes due to the political and social situation in Korea, as soon as it returned, the show's rating increased, showing the audience's anticipation for the work.
The on-screen chemistry between Yoo Yeon Seok and the female lead Chae Soo Bin was also praised. Many viewers even hoped that the two actors would “turn the fake love into real love”.
