Last August, Ahn Bo-hyun found himself embroiled in a storm of criticism over his personality, stemming from a scene in the making video of the drama ‘Yumi’s Cells’, released in September 2021.
The picture saw Ahn Bo-hyun leaning against a table, with a female staff member holding the script book for him. Some netizens questioned why he couldn’t hold the script himself and suggested that he had deliberately asked the staff member to do so.The backlash mounted, with Ahn Bo-hyun facing a barrage of malicious comments. Despite this, his agency remained silent, offering no official response.
The controversy persisted until the female staff member, who was revealed to be a stylist responsible for the actor’s costume, addressed the situation in an interview, stating, “There was a sudden change in the schedule so I showed him the script to tell him about that. The controversy is such a nonsense. Ahn Bo-hyun never asked me to hold the script for him”, as quoted by Kbizoom.
Recently, Ahn Bo-hyun sat down for an interview, following the conclusion of the Friday-Saturday drama ‘Flex x Cop’. However, the conversation veered towards this past incident that had stirred the hornet’s nest.
Ahn Bo-hyun, known for his amiable demeanor and lack of controversy throughout his career, was deeply affected by the accusations. However, he refrained from issuing any statements at the time. Reflecting on this decision, Ahn Bo-hyun revealed, “I was very shocked. I thought people who didn’t know the situation would misunderstand it. I and the staff member are close like family. I’ve never changed my agency, stylist, hair staff, etc., for 12-13 years, so I didn’t think there would be a controversy. Even if I deny it, it would feel like an excuse only. That would burden me and also that staff friend even more”.
He further emphasized “I don’t know if the case has been resolved now, but the reason I didn’t make a big deal out of the controversial scene is because I never did such an action. If I really forced her to do that, we wouldn’t have been able to work together for 12-13 years. If I refuted it at that time, I wondered if things would get any better or become more complicated. I believe that only people who know the situation need to understand it. Rather, the stylist team felt sorry. We didn’t think about it anymore. Even now, we are still getting along well with each other”.
Looking ahead, Ahn Bo-hyun is gearing up for his next project, ‘2 O’Clock Date’, scheduled to premiere in June.
