Park Sung Hoon Apologizes for Posting Controversial AV Parody of “Squid Game”

Actor Park Sung Hoon addressed the controversy surrounding his accidental post of a “Squid Game” AV parody, apologizing for the inconvenience caused to the team.

Actor Park Sung Hoon, known for his role in Netflix’s Squid Game 2, has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding his Instagram story post featuring a Japanese AV parody of the series. In a recent interview with Korea Economic Daily, Park expressed deep regret and offered a heartfelt apology to the production team and fans.

The controversy began last month when Park accidentally uploaded an AV parody cover of Squid Game to his Instagram story. Speaking about the incident, Park explained:

“I found a problematic photo in my DMs as I was rushing to go out around lunchtime to go to my schedule. It was during the beginning of the show’s release, and I thought it was a shocking photo and could cause problems. While exchanging the show’s reactions with the organizer, I think I accidentally posted it to my story while sending it.”

He clarified that he did not watch the video and denied having another account where the post might have been intended.

Park began the interview with a heavy heart, apologizing for the unintended consequences of his actions.

 “I came here with a heavier and more nervous heart than ever before. I am truly sorry that I might have caused damage to the production made by the hard work of so many people, including the team, staff, and actors.”

During the interview, Park became emotional, tearing up as he reflected on the incident.

“I felt a lot of regret and blamed myself for the inconvenience my mistake had caused. I will carry on with my acting career with a heavy heart, being mindful of my words and actions so something like this will not happen again.”

Park revealed that he had not yet spoken directly to the series’ director about the issue.

“I called but wasn’t able to get a hold of him. He was busy with many schedules, so I couldn’t contact him again. I felt it was best to contact him after the issue was resolved. My position about the controversy has been sent to the director through the company.”
