Park Seo Joon's Screen Time in "The Marvels" Disappoints Fans

On November 8, a post discussing Park Seo Joon's screen time in "The Marvels" went viral, leaving fans disappointed. A netizen uploaded the alleged screen time, revealing that it amounted to just 2 minutes and 47 seconds, with a 5-second margin of error.

“You mean the one where he is cosplaying as a moth?”

“I thought he was one of the lead characters. I can’t believe his screen time is less than the time it takes to cook cup noodles… Not going to watch.”

“I guess I don’t need to watch, LOL.”

“They put him in a lot of promos for 3 minutes…”

“Are his scenes in the trailer it?”

“They put him on the main poster but he is given screen time fitting for an extra.”

“This puts a bad taste in my mouth. It just pisses me off how they are treating the Asian character.”
