Squid Game 2 star Park Sung-Hoon replaced by Hierarchy actor Lee Chae-Min in The Tyrants Chef opposite Yoona

Squid Game 2 actor Park Sung-Hoon has decided to step down from the upcoming show, The Tyrants Chef. This happened after the whole controversy around him uploading an adult parody of Squid Game 2 that had rape porn. As per news reports, Lee Chae-Min will be romancing Yoona in the series, which is a historical. The young actor is known for his work on shows like Hierarchy and See You In My 19th Life. It seems the makers have shown him the script, and he is reviewing the same. Yoona’s fans had protested about the casting of Park Sung-Hoon on the show after this incident.

Park Sung-Hoon is known for his work in The Glory and Queen Of Tears before Squid Game 2. Fans fell in love with his character of Hyun-Ju on Hwang Dong-Hyuk’s show. He played a transgender woman who was formerly a soldier in the Korean military. Many felt he had the best character arc on the show. Park Sung-Hoon said that he is deeply apologetic for the Instagram incident and would like to step down from The Tyrants Chef. He said he feels the consequences should be borne only by him, and not the whole team of a new show.

Fans had wanted Lee Jun-Ho with Yoona. The two had amazing chemistry in King The Land. Others also suggested the name of Lee Dong-Wook. Park Sung-Hoon said he was diligently tracking all social media activity after the release of Squid Game 2. It seems he wanted to report the adult parody to his management team but somehow it got uploaded on his Insta stories. Viewers said this was a very minor matter but the Korean media just blew it out of proportion. Most actors take a hiatus of a year or two after such incidents and make a comeback.
