On the 11th, an official from tvN's new drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" said in multiple media, "The production team and actor Park Sung-hoon decided that it would be difficult to work together on this work after much discussion," he said, announcing Park Sung-hoon's departure.
The "Chef of the Tyrant" side also expressed their apologies several times for the recent events and the related actors and agencies, and have closely discussed various situationsAfter discussion, the production team and actor Park Sung-hoon decided to continue their respective steps," he added.
Earlier on the 30th of last month, he posted an AV sign with the concept of 'Squid Game' on his account and immediately deleted it. The photo released by Park Sung-hoon is a parody of the poster photo of the Japanese AV actors undressed 'Squid Game'. Park Sung-hoon posted a picture of a woman's body without a mosaic.
In response, Park Sung-hoon said, `It seems that Park Sung-hoon accidentally pressed the wrong number of DMs while checking a number of direct messages and posted it on the story. The actor himself was surprised and deleted it immediately, but it didn't work, and he downloaded the photo in the process of receiving the AV cover via DM and delivering it to the company's representative. I should have sent it to the person in charge and deleted it immediately, but it was uploaded by mistake."
Afterwards, Park Sung-hoon began his interview for the original Netflix series 'Squid Game 2' (played by Hwang Dong-hyuk, directed by) "Thank you so much for coming in this cold weather"First of all, I would like to express my sincere apology because I think I have caused inconvenience and concern to many people due to my recent big mistake. I'm sorry. More than ever, I came here with a really heavy and nervous heart. The biggest reason for that is that there was a lot of hard work from our production team, staff, actors, and so many people, and I think I'm nervous because I think it will cause another damage to them even a little bit."
Park Sung-hoon, who sighed deeply, said "First of all, I want to briefly tell you about the situation that day. I found the photo in the DM (direct message) that was the problem while I was getting ready to rush out because I had a schedule around lunch that day. It was the first week the work was released at that time, and it was only a few days ago, so it was time to continue to exchange reactions from many viewers with the person in charge. But I was so shocked when I found the picture, and I thought this would be a problem, so I thought there was a mistake in the process of delivering the picture. It's hard for me to understand what happened, but after a while, it went up to 'Story', and I was so flustered that I talked to the person in charge on the phone that 'I think the problem is serious'. Then I deleted the picture right away and of course I didn't even watch the video. On the other hand, I use a secondary account, and I know you told me that you made a mistake while trying to upload it to a secondary account. I don't own a secondary account at all, I only have one."
Again, Park Sung-hoon looked at the sky and swallowed his tears and went up "Anyway, but I thought it was my fault and caused many people to worry about my fault. Recognizing that accurately, I have blamed myself, regret, and self-reflection for a few days, and I am still doing it to this moment. So, I will feel the seriousness of this situation and continue my acting career with a heavy heart to prevent similar mistakes from occurring" he said.
Meanwhile, the drama is about a French chef who timeslips from modern times to the past, meets the king, the worst tyrant and the best gourmet, and fosters love beyond 500 years.
