Hankook Ilbo (Korea) reported that recent Korean films such as "Good Partner" and "My Sweet Mobster" caused a lot of controversy because of their re-enactment of single love scenes. night.
According to Korean newspaper, a part of the audience believes that these scenes are not really necessary, and at the same time unintentionally destroy the images of previously built characters.
For example, in episode 4 of the movie "Good Partner", the character Han Yu Ri (Nam Ji Hyun) and fellow lawyer Jeon Eun Ho (PO) had a night together after a drunken drinking session.
However, this scene does not convince viewers, partly because Eun Ho and Yu Ri are just friends, partly because this character is portrayed throughout the film as being psychologically affected by infidelity. of her father, causing her to become skeptical about marriage and relationships.
Many viewers have left comments below the movie's video clips such as: "This movie is so outdated. The scene where two people wake up together in a motel is so cliché", "Does a character have a strong grudge?" Are you strong enough to have a relationship with a man and have a one-night stand?"...
The same thing happened with the movie "My Sweet Mobster", when Mi Ho (Moon Ji In) unexpectedly spent the night with Il Young (Kim Hyu Jin), leading to an unwanted pregnancy and subsequent marriage. Il Young even confessed he only started liking Mi Ho after learning about the pregnancy.
According to Korean Communications Standards Commission regulations, section 35 on sexual expression stipulates that broadcasts cannot focus primarily on immoral or unhealthy relationships.
Additionally, the 15+ rating (for those 15 and up) from the Korean Media Rating Board means the content must be appropriate for teenagers without distorting their perception of sexuality.
According to the media, although society's views on one-night stands have become more open, the repetition of these scenes on screen can cause concerns.
In particular, the possibility of negative impact on teenagers - those who are in the process of forming themselves - is something that should not be ignored. When smoking scenes were previously removed from public broadcasts, smoking rates in Korea decreased among both teenagers and adults.
"While one-night stands are not illegal, they do not necessarily contribute to a healthy broadcast culture. This emphasizes the need for producers to carefully consider the implications of such content before broadcasting" - Korean newspaper wrote.
