Suspicions that actor Ha Young’s great-great-grandfather collaborated with Japan have now reached Netflix.

On the 10th, Netflix Korea posted on its official social media: "Detective Go Ji-won, Go Eun-sae of Yeot Village. 'This Sickening Love' is now streaming exclusively on Netflix," alongside a video featuring Ha Young.

Ha Young is starring in the Netflix original series "This Sickening Love," released on the 7th. The romantic comedy depicts the sweet and sticky cohabitation between Go Eun-sae, a detective suffering from amnesia, and Jang Tae-ha, a boxing coach who insists he is her boyfriend. Ha Young and Jung Hae-in share the screen in this production.

However, recent allegations that Ha Young’s great-great-grandfather collaborated with Japan have cast a shadow over the project. After her agency confirmed the claims, red lights were triggered for the series. Even worse, hateful comments condemning Ha Young are now flooding Netflix Korea's social media channels.

Most netizens have left comments such as: "This doesn't seem like the right time," "I want to see my grandfather's face," "An Sang-ho (Ha Young’s great-great-grandfather) was identified as a key figure in the conspiracy theory that Emperor Gojong was poisoned at the time of Ko Jong (황제)'s sudden death," "It's funny that a family of doctors for four generations finally got caught with their great-great-grandfather's collaboration credentials," "Selling out the country to live well for generations," "This sickening love between descendants of Jeong Yak-yong and collaborators," "Long live Korean independence," "Can't they get their act together?" "Great-great-grandfather poisoned Emperor Gojong, grandfather conducted human experiments on Sado Island. Truly a legendary family," "A lead actor proudly claiming collaborationist relatives just before Liberation Day? Are you kidding?" They are demanding the removal of content related to Ha Young.

The controversy over Ha Young’s great-great-grandfather's collaboration has also triggered alarms in the broadcasting and advertising industries. Some brands whose advertisements were filmed by Ha Young have immediately made all their videos private, while reports indicate that interviews following the conclusion of "This Sickening Love" have been canceled, causing concern among global viewers.
