Girls’ Generation’s YoonA is facing controversy over her 10-year age gap with co-star Lee Chae Min in the hit K-Drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.
Netizens are split, complaining about the double standard when an older actress dates a younger actor onscreen compared to the reverse.
Despite this, most fans are hooked on the pair’s undeniable chemistry.
The recent episode shocked viewers with an early, passion-filled kiss scene. Lee Chae Min stares into YoonA’s eyes before gently kissing her. The moment deepens as he moves his hand down her body, showing intense closeness just four episodes in.
This bold move for a K-Drama sparked excitement and praise online.
