Park Sung Hoon Opens Up About Facing Hate Comments For His Role In Queen Of Tears

Actor Park Sung Hoon, known for his role as Yoon Eun Sung in the popular K-Drama Queen of Tears, recently opened up about the negative reactions he received from viewers due to his character’s actions in the series. Despite the hate directed at his character, Park Sung-hoon himself is reportedly quite different from the role he played. In an interview with JoyNews24, Park Sung-hoon revealed that he saw many viewer reactions online, as he even received lots of direct messages via social media. He received so much hate that he had to take a break. “I got so much hate for the role, enough to last me a lifetime. I couldn’t even check my DMs for a while because of all the angry messages that came through. But I’m not actually like that,” he said.

The actor further explained that many people loved the show and had so much affection for the Hae In and Hyun Woo couple. It had been a great deal of joy seeing the support.

During a guest appearance on You Quiz on the Block, Park Sung-hoon shared an incident where a woman at a restaurant reprimanded him for his character’s behaviour, mistaking it for his real persona.

Despite the backlash, Park Sung-hoon chose to see the positive side of the situation. In an interview with The Korea Times, he stated that he did not let the hate messages affect him personally, as he understood that viewers were emotionally invested in the series. He even saw it as a compliment, believing that the audience’s inability to separate him from his character indicated a job well done.

“I’m actually not bothered or hurt by those direct messages (on social media) because they root for Hong and Baek, they have such feelings toward my character. That’s how much they love and put interest in our series so I enjoy reading the comments,” the actor added.

Looking ahead, Park Sung-hoon is gearing up for the second season of the popular Netflix series Squid Game. He expressed excitement about portraying a new character and hopes that viewers will come to know him by his character’s name, much like they did with his previous roles.

With Squid Game set to premiere later this year, Park Sung-hoon is ready to take on new challenges and continue to impress audiences with his versatile acting skills.
