A specific scene of tvN’Yunsikdang’, which aired in 2018, is belatedly becoming a hot topic due to the controversy over’racism’.
The controversial’racial discrimination’ remark was uploaded to tvN’s YouTube channel in 2018,’Guests’ Personal! It comes from a video titled’Lee Seo-jin, who is handsome and speaks English well. This content is a collection of highlight scenes from Yunsikdang 2.
In the video, a German man who came to eat stares at Lee Seo-jin who takes orders from the table next to him. According to the subtitle, the German laughed when Seo-jin Lee left and said, “Here is a handsome Korean man.”
However, netizens pointed out German remarks by taking coordinates on the scene. A netizen who is studying abroad in Germany said, “How can the saying’There are gay Korean men here’ translates into’handsome Korean men’.’ It looks like it’s just sneaky. That’s not humor,” he criticized. Other netizens also commented, “I didn’t say that the German uncle was handsome, but that he was two gay Koreans.”
The arrow of blame was also directed at the production crew, who did not edit the remarks that could be problematic, and sent out incorrect subtitles. Netizens commented with anger such as, “There are so many German-speaking people in the country, are you manipulating subtitles like this?” The video uploaded three years ago still has protest comments.
