[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] The mother of child actress Lee Ro-eun (playing Jenny), who appears as the daughter of Han So-hee and Park Hae-joon in the JTBC drama "The World of the Married," shared her feelings regarding the miscasting controversy.

Lee Ro-eun's mother began on her Instagram on the 18th, saying, "Ronnie (Lee Ro-eun) is coming out soon, so Ronnie's dad and I watched 'The World of the Married' with half anticipation, half excitement, and half worry."

She then mentioned the miscasting controversy, saying, "As soon as Jenny appeared, there was a controversy that she looked too big. Where on earth did the term 'first birthday party' come from?"

She continued, "The drama states that it is two years later. Still, we know she looks big. In fact, she was shown longer than in reality," and expressed, "Seeing people writing posts and comments among themselves on mom cafes, SNS, and Naver Talk made me feel like she was being mocked, which hurt my feelings."

Lee Ro-eun's mother added, "There was no ill intent, but it hurt my feelings. What fault does the child have?" and requested the deletion of comments.

Previously, Lee Ro-eun attracted great attention by playing Jenny, the daughter of Yeo Da-kyung (played by Han So-hee), in "The World of the Married." However, despite the drama stating that two years had passed, there was a miscasting controversy over whether the child looked too old.

Below is the full text of child actress Lee Ro-eun's mother's Instagram post.

Yesterday, Ronnie's dad and I watched with half anticipation, half excitement, and half worry, wondering when Ronnie would appear. As soon as Jenny appeared, there was a controversy that she looked too big. Where on earth did the term 'first birthday party' come from? The drama says it is two years later. Still, we know she looks big. In fact, she was shown longer than in reality.

Seeing people writing posts and comments among themselves on mom cafes, SNS, and Naver Talk made me feel like she was being mocked, which hurt my feelings. If it were just simple comments about her being big, I wouldn't be writing this. There was no ill intent, but it hurt my feelings. What fault does the child have? She was just filming without knowing anything.

Please refrain from harsh words and delete such comments. Even children like Ronnie are surrounded by dozens of staff and film the same scene about 4 to 5 times without crying and staying still, which is not easy. Please support us so that the remaining filming can be completed safely. Thank you to those who have supported Ronnie.
