An tvN official told Sports Chosun on the 2nd that the script reading of 『The Tyrant's Chef" was postponed,"We adjusted the script reading schedule in consideration of the social atmosphere during the national mourning period.", he explained.
'Chef of the Tyrant' is a work starring Lim Yoon-ah as one-top, and Park Sung-hoon's appearance as the male protagonist of the tyrant was being discussed. Even though the script reading was scheduled, Park Sung-hoon's appearance was virtually confirmed. Recently, Park Sung-hoon became controversial when he posted a high-level cover of illegal Japanese pornography on his personal account, and as a result, netizens complained that watching Park Sung-hoon as the main character of the romance was distracting. As a result, it is speculated that the cancellation of the script reading was the aftermath of Park Sung-hoon.
When Park Sung-hoon's controversy arose, BH Entertainment, the agency, said that Park Sung-hoon uploaded it by mistake while checking DMs amid a flood of DMs, adding that he was very surprised by the actor himself, and later added that he "saved the photo to deliver it to the person concerned, but accidentally uploaded it" during the second explanation.
Ahead of its release in the second half of the year, the story of a chef who time-slip in the past is considered the worst tyrant, but at the same time meets the king, the best gourmet, and Im Yoon-ah decided to appear first, followed by Park Sung-hoon.
