After publicly asking actress Park Bo-young to join the contentious variety show SNL Korea during a live-streamed segment at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards ceremony on June 25, actor and comedian Shin Dong-yup is now receiving a lot of online backlash. The Qoo report states that Bo-young is known for her award-winning performances and controversy-free image. The comedian's proposal made her quite nervous.

During the ceremony, the star of Doom At Your Doorstep sat next to Shin Dong-yup, smiled uncomfortably, and said she would give it some thought. After being repeatedly pushed to think about the request and show up, she reportedly answered.

The public outcry over Shin Dong-yup's attempt to cast Park Bo-young was deafening.

But Dong-yup went even further, telling the audience with a grin to write an article claiming that Park Bo Young had "confirmed" that she will be appearing on Korean SNL, albeit with an undetermined date.

According to reports, the event, which was broadcast on Naver TV, became an instant sensation and infuriated viewers who believed that Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon was forced into making a commitment she wasn't happy with.

'Inappropriate' pressure is criticized by fans

Shin Dong-yup's persistence was seen as rude and insensitive by Park Bo Young's devoted following, who are fierce defenders of her reputation.

A fan asked what was wrong with Dong-yup and why he was pushing the performer so hard, according to a Koreaboo piece. "It's disgusting," one user said. “Park Bo Young unnie, please don’t appear on SNL Korea,” said another.

Several more asked why an actor with such a pure image, like Bo Young, would be on such a contentious program.

Under attack is SNL Korea

In addition to its controversial sketches, which made fun of celebrities like Hani and Han Kang, SNL Korea was recently criticized for its controversial sketches, according to another report from the Korea Herald. Some reviewers have criticized the show for deviating from real satire and occasionally entering offensive territory.

Many have pointed out that the current sketches of the program, which include spoofs of famous people and sensitive subjects, are lacking in the proper respect and setting. There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the show's claimed inability to adjust, which has led to discussions on the responsibilities of comedians in covering current events without resorting to ridicule.

The dispute has not yet been addressed by the actor or SNL Korea.
