Following controversy over his attitude after appearing on MBC's variety program 'What Do You Do?', actor Jeong Jun-won became the subject of sharp remarks from critic Kim Do-hoon, who criticized certain celebrities for adopting so-called "introvert" personas on broadcast.

On the 5th, via his Instagram, Critic Kim stated, "There are celebrities on recent broadcasts who adopt an introvert concept and pretend to be unable to do anything when asked," adding, "Strangely, it's always men who do this."

He continued, "Introverts are not like those people. Real introverts are individuals who act even more awkwardly than usual to avoid ruining the atmosphere in front of crowds or cameras, and then tremble with shame in the car on the way home."

Although Critic Kim did not mention any celebrity by name, speculation continues that he was targeting Jeong Jun-won, who recently sparked controversy for his passive attitude on 'What Do You Do?'.

Furthermore, Critic Kim added, "As an INFP (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) by birth, I offer this advice: Please stop adopting strange introvert concepts. This is exactly the same concept I used to say on a broadcast about 20 years ago when I said, 'I'm a bit four-dimensional.' It's not good. Professionals who appear in front of cameras for payment should not act like that."

Meanwhile, Jeong Jun-won appeared on the January 1st episode of 'What Do You Do?' alongside actress Gong Hyo-jin to promote MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer'.

However, as he struggled to answer questions easily, hesitated, or failed to respond actively, some viewers criticized his attitude as "insincere."

As the controversy grew, cast members and fellow actors who recorded alongside him sequentially came forward to defend Jeong Jun-won. However, while some argue that these successive defenses are fueling the controversy further, others insist that excessive criticism toward a first-time variety show participant should be restrained, leading to ongoing debate.
