“I wanted Lim Si-hwan and Seolhyun” Kim Poong, public opinion sympathizes with the controversy over school violence by the actor of ‘History of Slums’
While webtoon writer Kim Poong's post on social media is becoming a hot topic, past casting wishes for 'History of Fools' are coming into the spotlight again.
On the 2nd, Kim Poong posted “I’m going crazy” on his Instagram story. The word "hahaha" was added numerous times, making people guess his state of mind after being liberated. Accordingly, netizens are saying that it is because Song Ha-yoon, who played the lead role in the drama 'History of Fools', was embroiled in a controversy over school violence (hereinafter referred to as 'school violence').
Kim Poong, who appeared on JTBC's 'Jobs', a livelihood research institute that aired in June 2017, said that if 'History of Fools', which he wrote, is made into a video, "I hope for Im Si-wan as the male lead and Seolhyun as the female lead." Kim Poong said, "I started drawing Lee Je-hoon from the movie 'Architecture 101' as a motif. However, while I was serializing the series, I watched the drama 'Misaeng' and thought it suited Im Si-wan's vibe. Seolhyun can play any role." I added a reason. ‘History of Suckers’ is a drama based on the webtoon of the same name by author Kim Poong, and tells the boring stories of young people in their twenties. Kim Poong participated in the writing, and Jo Byeong-gyu and Song Ha-yoon played the lead roles. This work finished filming in August 2022, but has not been released to date due to programming issues.
On the 1st, ‘Case Manager’ broadcasted the story ‘Actress S’s suspicion of school violence’. The informant claimed to the 'incident leader', "I was beaten for 1 hour and 30 minutes by Mr. S, who was my senior in high school, without knowing what was going on, and because Mr. S's boyfriend was part of Iljin, I had no choice but to beat him because I could not resist." It was Song Ha-yoon, who rose to fame as a villain in 'Marry My Husband.' In response, Song Ha-yoon's side denies that she committed school violence.
Previously, Jo Byeong-gyu was also embroiled in controversy over school violence in February 2021. Afterwards, things quieted down as the exposer revealed that he had admitted to lying, but ahead of the first broadcast of 'Honorable Rumors 2', the exposer demanded an explanation. Jo Byeong-gyu denied the allegations of school violence at the drama production press conference, but netizens' reactions were cold.
Commenting on the situation in which the two main actors of 'History of Fools' were embroiled in a school violence controversy, netizens said, "It seems like the production company's karma for carrying on an actor who was involved in a school violence controversy," "Writer Kim Poong would not have had casting rights, so it's only a pity for the original author," and "Kim Poong." “I want to see this as the desired combination of Siwan and Seolhyun.”
