Perfect Crown Stars IU, Byeon Woo Seok’s Romantic Photoshoot Triggers Outrage. Here’s Why!
While many fans are looking forward to IU and Byeon Woo Seok’s Perfect Crown, not all the buzz is positive.
IU and Byeon Woo Seok’s upcoming K-drama, Perfect Crown, is creating major excitement, and we totally get it. Both of them previously shared the screen briefly, but now they are starring as the lead couple in this highly anticipated show. While many fans are looking forward to it, not all the buzz is positive. Some viewers are already voicing their disappointment. What exactly has people upset? Read on to know all about it.
IU and Byeon Woo Seok recently did a cosy photoshoot for ELLE magazine. In the photos, they stood very close together in a soft, flower-filled setting. IU held pretty flowers and smiled at the camera. In some shots, she gently pulled his tie with a smile on her face. They looked like a fairy-tale couple against the gentle background. And next what? The pictures went viral online, especially on Korean community sites like TheQoo.
Even so, not everyone felt excited. Many netizens pointed out that the two stars did not seem to have strong chemistry in the photos. People said that while IU and Byeon Woo Seok both look attractive on their own, something felt missing when they appeared together. Comments saying the pair looked a bit mismatched or that the spark was not quite there popped up online. Others felt the vibe suited IU well but still noticed the lack of natural connection.
Earlier, Byeon Woo Seok faced some heavy criticism for his acting in the character teaser. A few people found his expressions stiff and without much emotion in the short clip. They wondered if his “looks” were carrying him more than his performance in that moment. A few comments even lightly compared him to other stars who began their careers as idols, suggesting that physical appearance can sometimes facilitate opportunities more quickly than acting abilities. Still, many fans jumped in to defend him and reminded everyone that a short teaser cannot show the full story.
With Perfect Crown set to premiere soon on MBC and Disney+, fans remain curious to see how the on-screen romance develops in the episodes.
