#ByeonWooSeok will be the only Korean actor to appear on stage at Hong Kong Comic Con 2026. After attending the opening ceremony of Hong Kong Comic Con on May 29, Byeon Wooseok will also participate in a special talk session the same day at 8 PM titled “HKCC Special: 2026 Asia Spotlight.” As this is the inaugural edition of Hong Kong Comic Con, organizers put considerable effort into inviting guests. Byeon Wooseok, recognized as both a representative Korean actor and one of Asia’s leading stars, was invited to open the event. Since Hong Kong Comic Con is being held for the first time this year, many global stars have been invited. Along with Byeon Wooseok, confirmed attendees include Mads Mikkelsen, Louis Koo, Giancarlo Esposito, known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and Hong Kong-born British actress Katie Leung, who appeared in Bridgerton season 4.

[INTERVIEW ②] 260519 Director Park Joon-hwa Opens Up About IU and Byeon Wooseok’s Strong Sense of Responsibility Amid Historical Inaccuracy Backlash Amid the intense criticism directed at the production, lead actors IU and Byeon Wooseok were also feeling a heavy sense of responsibility. Director Park revealed, “Rather than the actors apologizing for this drama, the person who should be apologizing far more is me, the director. Even though actors are people whose job is to portray the roles they are given well, they came to me as if it were only natural and said, ‘We will personally post apology statements.’ Hearing those words made me feel so sorry toward them as a director. I wish I could have made a better drama that would have been received more positively, but I failed to do so. On the night the final episode aired, I really wanted to personally tell each actor who suffered and worked hard on set that they had done a great job. But because of these controversies, it feels like the sweat and hard work the actors poured into the project could not be properly recognized, and as a director, that pains me deeply. The actors contacted me first and actually comforted me instead, saying ‘We should have worked harder and paid closer attention on set so we wouldn’t miss anything,’ and they expressed their own regrets as well.” naver.me/x8kt6seH #IU #아이유 #21세기대군부인 #PerfectCrown

the scriptbook version actually ended at wan's "i will." "wan caresses the hand he is holding, as if reading huiju's feelings, and kisses the back of her hand. wan: i will." that's where it ended

[COMMENTARY] Choi Tae-sung (최태성) shared his sentiments over #PerfectCrown stars IU and Byeon Woo Seok's apologies. He is one of South Korea's prominent Korean history teachers and public educators. On May 18th, he posted his disappointment over the "historical inaccuracy" shown in the drama. Today, May 19th, he apologized and posted a call to action for everyone to improve the system rather than implicating it on actors or certain individuals. 💬: "Reading actress IU's social media post and actor Byeon WooSeok's handwritten letter deeply saddened me. My intention was to say that we need a better system in place so situations like this do not keep repeating themselves, but it seems the criticism has instead been misdirected at individuals. Even I occasionally confuse historical terminology. It is unrealistic to expect actors to fully understand every specialized term, historical nuance, and contextual detail. A proper historical verification system should function as solid armor that protects actors. But when that system is weak and unreliable, actors inevitably end up becoming scapegoats. That is why I suggested the idea of establishing a dedicated historical research and verification institute—so that the actors we love will no longer have to endure these kinds of controversies and distress. Rather than attacking people, I hope we can focus our collective efforts on building a stronger and more trustworthy verification system. I also hope that government agencies such as the Korea Heritage Service and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will allocate at least part of their budgets toward this effort. In return, those institutes should develop systematic research methods and provide films and dramas with reliable, thoroughly vetted databases to support world-building and historical accuracy. Only then can a writer's imagination, a director's creative vision, and an actor's performance all be properly protected. And only then can Korean dramas continue to bring even greater comfort, inspiration, and emotional resonance to audiences around the world. This message comes from someone who genuinely loves and cherishes K-dramas."

An Instagram post by Korean history instructor Choi Tae-sung regarding Perfect Crown "I’m sorry to the actors who were hurt because of the post I wrote yesterday. Reading IU’s SNS post and actor Byun’s handwritten letter really broke my heart. I wrote that we need to improve the system so things like this don’t keep happening, but it seems like the backlash has been misdirected to the wrong places. Even I sometimes get confused with historical terms. It’s unreasonable to expect actors to understand such specialized terminology and context. The historical accuracy system should act like solid armor that protects the actors, but it’s always been loose and unreliable, which makes things uneasy. That’s why I suggested we stop turning actors into scapegoats and instead consider creating a historical consulting institute. If we do that, the actors we love won’t have to go through these difficult situations again. Rather than attacking people, I hope we can focus our collective energy on building a stronger system for historical accuracy." #아이유 #IU #성희주 #PerfectCrown #Byeonwooseok

director park junhwa mentioned that both iu and wooseok contacted him first and said they would personally post apology statements. “rather than the actors apologizing over this drama, there is a much bigger part that i, as the director, should apologize for,” he added, “even though actors are people whose job is to portray the roles given to them well, they naturally came to me and said they would personally post apology statements.” he continued, “hearing that made me feel so sorry for them as the director. i wish i had made a better drama that could have received more positive evaluations, but i couldn’t. on the night the final episode aired, i wanted to personally tell every actor who worked hard on set that they had done well. but because of these controversies, it feels like the sweat and effort the actors poured in have not been properly recognized, and as a director, that is very heartbreaking.” director park junhwa also shared about the conversations he had with iu and wooseok after the drama ended. “the actors contacted me first,” he said. “instead, they comforted me, saying, ‘we should have tried harder and not missed those things on set,’ and they expressed their own regrets.”
