Actor Lee Ji Hoon apologizes for 'power abuse' controversy


Article: Staff and writer expose Lee Ji Hoon "He left the drama because of power abuse"... producers claim "unfounded"

1. [+1,954, -31] I don't think he's at the level where he can be power tripping at writers?;; He's always been the second lead and only just landed his first lead role;;; The writer must've thought "the audacity"... ㅋㅋ

2. [+772, -20] I always thought the clips of him babysitting a neighbor's baby on 'I Live Alone' felt so fake... It felt like 'I Live Alone' was trying very hard to hype his image up.

3. [+855, -266] Please just stay neutral, guys. We've learned from Kim Sun Ho that we can't just trust everyone who exposes someone. We never learn which is why hate comments will never disappear.

4. [+340, -10] Whatever the case, we have seen time and time again that people with good character will stay and people without will get kicked out

5. [+242, -16] He's such a no name actor, why was he power tripping...

6. [+131, -8] Stay neutral and just wait. He's the lead and yet only got four scenes, I can see why he'd have an opinion on that, and I don't know that I'd consider that power tripping. I also find it hard to believe that someone not as famous as Lee Ji Hoon has the power to swap out half the team of writers just because he said so when he's not that powerful of a celebrity..

7. [+84, -1] Just going to stay neutral. Name value wise, this actor is not at the top level where he has enough power to swap out writers at a whim. He would know that he would easily be kicked off the show sooner than producers would let him swap writers. It's also difficult to consider what he did 'power tripping' when agencies often fight over screentime on behalf of their actors all the time. Since he's not a top name actor, I bet his agency felt it was too difficult to assert their opinions and probably just folded to whatever the producers wanted... so I'm neutral.

8. [+81, -8] So a staff told him off for being late so often, which then made him call in a thug-like friend to the set. This drama's over, tsk tsk. Why would you bring a friend like that to the set just because you have some issues with the staff? Who would ever bring a stranger to the set to solve an issue at your work place? It's clear who's in the wrong and I think the producers are just keeping it hush hush considering they have money invested in the drama.
