Actor Jung Hae-in actively participated in promoting the work despite negative issues surrounding his co-star.

On the 14th, Jung Hae-in posted numerous photos on his personal SNS with "#SuchABitterLove #ourstickylove".

The photos showed Jung Hae-in standing by the seaside in a suit.

He was lost in thought while gazing at the sunset sinking over the horizon.

Jung Hae-in is starring in the Netflix original series "Such a Bitter Love," which was released on the 7th.

However, immediately after the work's release, co-star Ha Young became entangled in allegations that her great-grandfather was a pro-Japanese collaborator, leading Jung Hae-in to cancel interviews. The entire broadcasting industry is suffering due to controversy surrounding only Ha Young.

Ha Young's great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, is known as Korea's first practicing physician but also served as a councilor for the pro-Japanese organization "Daejeong Sil-eop Chinnokhoe," sparking pro-Japanese collaboration controversies. It was revealed that in an interview with Maeil Sinbo, a newspaper established in 1918 by Jo Seon (총독), he stated, "I am like a Japanese person; I wear Japanese clothing and my wife is a Japanese woman." In 1919, he also became entangled in allegations of poisoning after failing to treat Ko Jong (황제), which was collapsing at the time.

Recently, Ha Young proudly mentioned her family's "four-generation medical legacy" while answering questions on a variety show. However, as fatal pro-Japanese collaboration controversies erupted surrounding Ahn Sang-ho's activities, Ha Young's agency, Bisters Entertainment, strongly drew a line on the 10th by admitting that her great-grandfather was indeed physician Ahn Sang-ho but denying the pro-Japanese allegations as "baseless."

However, after various pro-Japanese collaboration controversies surrounding Ahn Sang-ho's activities were confirmed as facts, the agency suddenly reversed its official stance on the 11th and bowed its head.
