The script reading of tvN's new drama "Chef of the Tyrants" was canceled, but it was confirmed that it was not due to controversy over actor Park Sung-hoon.

tvN's drama "Chef of the Tyrants" was scheduled to conduct a script reading today (2nd), but canceled it. In this regard, an official from Park Sung-hoon's agency, BH Entertainment, explained to YTN today (2nd), "The schedule has been canceled due to the period of national mourning."

On the same day, a media outlet reported that the script reading schedule for "The Tyrant's Chef" was suddenly canceled, and that the schedule was changed in the wake of Park Sung-hoon's controversy over uploading the Japanese AV cover and the Jeju Air disaster. The media criticized Park Sung-hoon for becoming a nuisance man, but the cancellation of his schedule due to controversy over his SNS was not true.

The Tyrant's Chef' is a drama that tells the story of a chef who time-slips back to the past as soon as he ascends to the top position, but at the same time meets the king, the best gourmet. Park Sung-hoon stars as the male lead and Yoona stars as the female lead.

Meanwhile, Park Sung-hoon appeared as a transgender Hyun-joo in Season 2 of the Netflix series "Squid Game," which was released on the 26th. He was praised for his strong performance in his work, but later faced a backlash by posting a photo of a Japanese pornographic cover parodying the "Squid Game" on his Instagram story.

In this regard, an agency official explained, "Park Sung-hoon accidentally uploaded it to his account because he was inexperienced in using SNS in the process of checking a number of DMs and trying to deliver them to a company official."
