 Namjoo's first night filming team, nailing cultural properties, hanging their backs...controversy over damage



The KBS2 drama 『Namju's First Night』 is expected to be controversial after it was claimed that the filming team damaged cultural assets.

Architect Min Seo-hong recently wrote on his SNS, "Record the sightings of Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy." posted a picture of installing a lamp for drama props on the top of the Mandaeru pillar.

According to his eyewitness accounts, a drama shooting took place at Byeongsan Seowon Confucian Academy, which is historic No. 260 and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the afternoon of December 30. But I witnessed an absurd situation. Some of the staff were nailing the wooden posts to hang their backs. When I looked around, there were already quite a few backs hanging from the pillars of Mandeoru.




Mr. Min said "An old middle-aged gentleman was protesting against the staff, and I couldn't wait and see, so I also helped "Is it okay to damage cultural properties like that?"," he said.

This staff member "Already obtained permission from Andong City."If you're curious, why don't you contact the city hall?" How many times do I have to explain that I've been granted permission?" he claimed to be angry.

However, getting permission to film and nailing the wooden pillars of cultural properties are different. Min also went to the Cultural Heritage Department of Andong City Hall and said, `The drama staff is nailing a wooden pillar, do you know this? Did you give permission to damage cultural properties?The embarrassed civil servant then questioned "I'll get rid of it right away."," he replied.




Min then reported it to the National Heritage Administration and reported it to various broadcasters, saying, "I learned that this happens frequently, and I heard even more absurd stories, especially in modern historic sites, columns and walls are often dismantled for filming purposes." he insisted.

Unlike obtaining permission to film in cultural properties, nailing and placing a back on the cultural properties themselves constitutes damage to cultural properties. Therefore, controversy over such actions is expected to continue.

Based on the webtoon of the same name, 'Having the First Night of Namjoo' is a fantasy romance drama in which a minor role (Seohyun) in a romance novel with the soul of an ordinary female college student spends a night with Namjoo (Ok Taek-yeon), the most obsessed novel.
