'Mr. Queen' Replay Service Suspended... Aftermath of 'Joseon Exorcist' Controversy
Lead Actress Shin Hye-sun Promotes Mask Production That Was Temporarily Halted
The controversy over historical distortion sparked by the drama 'Joseon Exorcist' is expanding to writer Park Gye-ok's previous work, 'Mr. Queen.' On the 27th, the online video services (OTT) TVING and Naver TV suspended the replay service of this drama. All clip videos exposed on YouTube and other platforms were also taken down. It appears that the decision to make the content private was made as criticism of 'Joseon Exorcist' extended to Park's earlier works.

'Mr. Queen,' which ended last month, is a fusion historical drama depicting the story of a modern-day man's soul entering the body of a queen in the Joseon Dynasty. At the time of airing, there was public criticism over lines such as referring to the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty as "mere rumors," leading the production team to issue an apology. When the controversy resurfaced, a mask company that had used lead actress Shin Hye-sun as a model temporarily halted production of related products.
