“Wild Romance’s” Lee Si Young made headlines with an inappropriate statement she made regarding the currently airing SBS series “Rooftop Prince,” starring JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun and Han Ji Min and MBC drama “The King 2hearts,” starring Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won.
She made the comment while chatting with other netizens on the message
boards of online community “DC Inside for ‘Wild Romance.’”
The actress expressed, “I’m so into ‘Rooftop Prince.’ I keep
watching it over and over again. It’s so much fun. I just think the
drama is very funny. There’s so much I want to say, and I feel so sad
and envious.” However, the problematic remark occurred when Lee Si Young wrote, “I’ll bet [cutting off] my wrist that ‘Rooftop Prince’ will take over MBC ‘The King 2hearts’ in ratings,” shocking netizens.
Netizens criticized the actress, “How can anyone who works in the
same industry say such things, especially when she knows how hard
everyone works to create such projects, regardless of ratings,” “How
thoughtless and insensitive,” “I’m really shocked that Lee Si Young
would say such things,” “Think before you type,” and more. As of now,
Lee Si Young’s controversial statement has been deleted from the message
boards.
Meanwhile, “Rooftop Prince” has seen a steady increase in ratings
since its premiere, recording 11.4% (AGB Nielsen) for its fourth
episode. “The King 2hearts,” while still in the lead, dropped 0.8% from
the night before, recording 14.6%.
