1. [+470, -25] Yoo Ah In, Steven Yeun, Jun Jong Seo... all three are in trouble. Poor movie.

2. [+387, -42] Well there's a Japanese idol with a right-wing controversy of her own being put center on a Korean show ㅋㅋㅋㅋ what an odd country we are

3. [+229, -13] No hope in making money in Korea for him again

4. [+12, -5] Koreans have mastered the practice of ripping someone to shreds ㅋㅋ

5. [+9, -4] Koreans really can't stand to see someone else do well, can they? All because of some trash who are triggered 24/7, we're going to end up alienating all the foreign Koreans at this point. If they don't know, educate them. Don't eat them alive.

6. [+8, -3] He should've just stuck to Hollywood... why is he staying here and getting hate? He doesn't even know what our society is like...

7. [+6, -5] ㅋㅋ Seriously, he had the Korean support in his bag and then of all the issues he had to mess with, it was our history ㅋㅋ can't shield that

8. [+5, -1] Honestly, he's a foreigner. He's not even Korean. I don't get why we're getting all up in arms over a foreigner. Just write him off and move on.

Article: "Not meeting with Cannes press" 'Burning' stars Steven Yeun x Jun Jong Seo not attending interviews

1. [+902, -53] They don't seem to realize that they only exist because of their fans. They don't seem to be the type to have long running careers.

2. [+884, -37] Such amazing attitude from a fresh debut like Jun Jong Seo. She's a star who's going to be hard to manage.

3. [+685, -39] I understand why Steven Yeun would want to pass on interviews because public sentiment has turned so negatively against him and I'm sure he feels tortured over all of this but if he keeps avoiding interviews like this, it's going to be hard for him to ever recover...

4. [+80, -1] Is this going to be Jun Jong Seo's last movie???

5. [+68, -1] Steven Yeun's at least excusable by being a gyopo, what's Jun Jong Seo's excuse?

6. [+60, -1] Poor director... stuck with such trash leads

7. [+58, -3] Not that I was ever going to watch the movie but I don't see it doing well... all three of the leads are so hated ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+42, -0] I totally get why Steven Yeun would feel too pressured to do interviews... but Jun Jong Seo? Why? ㅋㅋㅋ She's doing things that even top stars like Jun Do Yeon or Moon Sori wouldn't dare to do
