Suzy’s “Men of the Harem” Male Cast Faces Visual Backlash

Suzy’s highly anticipated return to the small screen with the upcoming drama “Men of the Harem” is already making waves, but not all of it is positive. The male lead cast of the show has come under major backlash for their visuals, drawing brutal comments from netizens.

The show had already sparked significant attention after actor Lee Soo Hyuk reportedly dropped out of filming, leaving fans curious about casting changes.

Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the drama’s production, the male cast has now faced a fresh wave of major criticism. A post on the popular Korean online community theqoo circulated a collage featuring the actors Shin Seung Ho, Dex, Kim Dan, and Yoo Jung Hoo. Lee Jong Won, who is reportedly reviewing a role to replace Lee Soo Hyuk, was also included in the discussion.

In the comments section, netizens did not hold back, fiercely hitting back at the visuals of the selected actors.

Among the sharpest remarks, netizens stated: “The male-side casting is pretty weak.” “What the hell are those faces on the male cast?;;;;;;” and “;;;; I guess there really aren’t many good-looking actors these days.” Other comments echoed similar sentiments: “If they were going to use rising actors anyway, couldn’t they have found people who looked a bit more suited to the drama? Is this really the best they could do?” and “Meh… no appeal.” Some even directly questioned, “So who’s the male lead?” and lamented, “There’s no really handsome guy.” or “There’s no one who’s strikingly handsome…” A few tried to be optimistic, “It’s not bad… since Suzy is in it,” highlighting the immense star power Suzy brings to the project amidst the visual critiques.
