Park Sung-hoon faces backlash over sharing porn parody of Squid ...

Squid Game 2 actor Park Sung-hoon has sparked controversy with his recent Instagram post. The actor uploaded an adult parody cover of the popular Netflix series, which he later deleted. The post came shortly after the tragic Jeju Air flight crash in South Korea, where 179 out of 181 passengers lost their lives. Many of the victims were K-pop fans returning from the 2024 Asia Artist Awards in Bangkok. The incident has led to a national mourning period in South Korea.

Despite deleting the post, screenshots of Sung-hoon’s Instagram Story went viral, leading to speculation about a possible hack. However, his agency confirmed the post was uploaded accidentally by Park himself. A representative from BH Entertainment stated that Sung-hoon received numerous direct messages and inadvertently shared the image while checking them. The actor expressed his shock and apologised for the mistake, vowing to be more cautious in the future.

The statement issued by Sung-hoon’s agency, BH Entertainment's statement read, “Park Sung-hoon received many DMs on social media and accidentally uploaded it while checking DMs. The actor himself is also surprised and apologises for making such a mistake in these times. He will be careful not to let something like this happen again."

Fans were not convinced and lashed out at the actor. Many even demanded him to be replaced in the upcoming drama, A Tyrant's Chef, which he is reportedly a part of along with Yoona from The Girls' Generation.

Park Sung-hoon played the role of a transgender character, Choi Hyun-joo aka Player 120 in Squid Game Season 2. She enters the game to collect money for her gender-affirming surgery. Sung-hoon was also a part of dramas like Queen of Tears and The Glory.
