At this point, it has become a lynching of Jung Jun-won (38).

Actor Jung Jun-won appeared on MBC's "What Do You Do?" (hereinafter "Nolmwo"), broadcast on the 1st, to promote the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Married Woman Killer," but was swept up in an untimely controversy over his attitude.

His severe entertainment anxiety escalated into accusations of an "insincere" demeanor. Jung Jun-won expressed nervousness, saying, "I'm not in my right mind. It feels like my head is going blank," while tightly shutting his eyes. His unstable posture even while seated on a chair made viewers uncomfortable. Despite co-stars Gong Hyo-jin and "National MC" Yoo Jae-suk stepping in to guide the reactions, Jung Jun-won's passive attitude persisted.

Regardless of this being Jung Jun-won's first appearance on an entertainment show, it is true that his unprofessional demeanor was exposed to viewers. Moreover, although he has recently gained attention, he debuted in 2015 and is now an 11-year veteran actor, not a rookie — hence the criticism that he lacked professional awareness. In any case, as the lead actor of "Married Woman Killer," his attitude contrasted sharply with Gong Hyo-jin, who fulfilled her promotional responsibilities, leaving viewers disappointed.

However, the harsh criticism regarding his clumsy entertainment debut was severe. Since the broadcast on the 1st, Jung Jun-won has faced intense backlash. By the following day, public condemnation had already formed, and by the 3rd, it continued without abating — an excessive level of criticism indeed. Furthermore, this awkward entertainment debut incident escalated into a controversy over the male lead's appearance in "Married Woman Killer." In the past, during his web entertainment appearance on "Pamyo," he was targeted with crude online comments that openly insulted his looks. A flood of vicious cyberbullying (Cyberbullying, online collective harassment) has surged, prompting warnings against indiscriminate condemnation.

Eventually, "Nolmwo" member Haha stepped in. As hateful comments poured in regarding Jung Jun-won's appearance on "Nolmwo," Haha stated, "I was there at the scene. He was too lovely, cute, and fun! It was a reaction intended to make things more enjoyable! Even for professionals, 'Nolmwo' is truly difficult on their first entertainment show! Since he's not a professional entertainer, please view him cutely and just enjoy the show. Please have a happy day today! I applaud the actor! Support him! All support!" While defending Jung Jun-won, Haha also politely urged restraint against the harsh barrage of online abuse.
