1. [+887, -25] The man does not look like he's in a good mood...

2. [+812, -25] Why's he like that? With his hands in his pockets too

3. [+709, -26] Is this a concept? Why would he stand like that for photos???

4. [+93, -5] Did they fight? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Or has he deluded himself into believing he's his chaebol character?

5. [+81, -6] So cocky of him... what's his problem? Awkward for Seohyun to deal with... It's usually the men who escort the women at events like this;;;

6. [+80, -5] He kept ignoring her when the cameras requested an affectionate pose. Maybe they don't have good drama chemistry.

7. [+78, -5] Did they fight?? Why's his face like that in all the photos??? He's so unprofessional..

8. [+65, -7] Take those hands out of your pockets ㅡㅡ how cocky of him

9. [+61, -3] Apparently it's because he was too into his drama character ㅋㅋ how ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+60, -7] He's not even handsome, who's his sponsor that he thinks he can act this arrogantly?

1. [+939, -88] Just seemed like he lacked basic manners;;

2. [+652, -41] I checked the video out because of all this controversy and I kind of got the feeling that he was trying to act like Yoo Ah In... not sure if it's a concept or whatever but I'll have to make sure that he pulls his character off in the first episode then ^^

3. [+555, -36] Meanwhile Seohyun was smiling for the cameras and acting the right way

4. [+133, -55] Who is he and why's he acting so cocky

5. [+80, -3] Seohyun asked if she could link arms with him and she raised her hand up and he denied and moved his arm away;; That must've been so awkward for her, I felt bad that she had to laugh it off

6. [+68, -2] He should know there's a time and place for everything. He shouldn't be acting like this off the drama set. So if he takes on a murderer character, he's going to act like that too?

7. [+58, -3] So awkward for Seohyun... If he was going to "focus so hard" on his character, then he should've at least given his co-stars a heads up before they got on stage. Then Seohyun would've acted accordingly with the reporter requests.

8. [+55, -1] Seohyun tried to link arms with him and he got stone faced and ignored her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ such an overreaction ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+1,808, -93] I was really turned off with the way he ignored Seohyun when she asked to link arms for a photo. This is an issue of character, not "being too focused on the role". People like Choi Min Shik and Ha Jung Woo are famous for their focus on their characters and they've never acted like this at public conferences. I wonder if he would've acted the same way if it was Kim Hye Soo or Yoon Yeo Jung and not Seohyun?

2. [+674, -35] If Choi Min Shik had his mindset, he would've killed all the reporters on set at his "I Saw the Devil" conference ㅋㅋ

3. [+610, -8] The conference was a place to promote their drama and speak with reporters... so yeah, it was rude of him to be so dismissive. It made the public uncomfortable which is why he's on the search rankings right now.

4. [+277, -31] What a comparison to Seohyun next to him who was smiling and trying her best with a positive attitude

5. [+68, -2] So does he think other actors aren't focused on their characters which is why they act respectfully at these conferences? Is he the only person in the world who acts? TSk tsk...

1. [+264, -29] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What a pathetic excuse ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he's acting like a top star ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+253, -31] He was wrong if he thought this was a doable concept for his drama. And if he acted like this because he was in a bad mood, then he needs to realize how much harm he brought to his drama today. This was such a great opportunity for him and he messed it up!

3. [+224, -36] I liked him a lot in 'Waikiki' but he was so thoughtless today ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

4. [+26, -4] He should do a movie with Jun Jong Seo later ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+25, -0] He probably begged for this opportunity as a rookie and basically kicked his chance away
