“Ugh, get lost. Why would Park Bo Young go on such a filthy show?”
“Bo Young unnie, please don’t go on it.”
“What is wrong with him? Why is he pushing her so hard? I really hate it. It’s disgusting.”
SNL Korea has faced ongoing backlash for sketches deemed “lewd” and inappropriate, including a viral scene with actress Kim Sa Rang that also triggered public outrage.
The controversy around Shin Dong Yup’s suggestion is gaining traction as fans continue urging Park Bo Young to stay clear of the show.
