It even got to the point where Han So Hee’s friend came out and criticized South Korea’s society for their sexist views on tattoos and smoking.

Tattoos and smoking, it’s only an issue when women do it.

Honestly, it’s just sexist and discrimination to think that [smoking and tattoos] can be okay for male actors, but there is an issue when a female actress does it.

Nowadays, there are many people with tattoos, so the people who like tattoos are supporters. But wouldn’t people who dislike tattoos also show their displeasure? I can’t say that mindset is right or wrong because everyone has different ideas.

Those pictures with tattoos and cigarettes were taken by Han So Hee when she was a model. Because of her appearance in the drama, interest in her has naturally increased.

However, he once got criticized by some netizens during a press conference for his film Peninsula. Netizens criticized him for his “middle-aged” fashion, and for his face not looking as handsome as before.

My face was bloated that day, and my condition wasn’t great either. Now that I’m older, I have my good days and my bad days.

5. Lee Ro Eun

However, some netizens criticized her and left malicious comments when they felt that she was too big for the role. It even got to the point where Lee Ro Eun’s family had to ask netizens to leave her alone.

What did a little kid do to deserve this? She filmed it without knowing anything. Please delete your harsh comments. I hope you cheer her on so that she can finish filming her part in the drama.
