The kissing scene of Yeo Jin-goo, who is a 16 year old minor in real life, has left some viewer uncomfortable.
On the October 15th episode of tvN daily sitcom 'Potato Star 2013QR3', Yeo Jin-goo and Han Yeon-soo had a deep kiss scene that left some viewers feeling uncomfortable after seeing it. They said that it was inappropriate for a minor to film a kissing scene.
The PR team behind 'Potato Star 2013QR3' stated, "Since Yeo Jin-goo is a minor, we carefully filmed the scene after having many discussions with him."
Netizens commented, "It would have been better if it was just a light kiss. Yeo Jin-goo is only 16 and the scene was too sensational", "Oh no! Yeo Jin-goo is only 16?", "Why can't a sixteen year old film a kissing scene?" and more,
