Park Shin-hye’s Husband Revealed Amid Burning Sun Controversy, and May Have Lost a Role Because of it?

The BBC recently aired a documentary centered on the shocking Burning Sun scandal, which delves into the difficult journey of two female Korean journalists as they uncover the sexual misconduct of well-known K-Pop artists.

As a result, numerous boycotts swept across South Korea targeting individuals connected to the Burning Sun scandal, including Seungri, Jung Joon-young, Choi Jong-hoon, and even Zico and Hyuna for their associations with those involved.

Another notable figure who has caught the attention of netizens is Choi Tae-joon, the husband of renowned actress Park Shin-hye. He is being brought up in discussions due to his close association with Seungri, Jung Joon-young, Choi Jong-hoon, and Zico. As a result, many netizens are now questioning his innocence.

Despite their friendship reportedly starting on the show “We Got Married,”Choi Tae-joon has continued to publicly display his close bond with Jung Joon-young and Lee Jong-hyun on television and social media. They have frequently shared photos together, showcasing their strong relationship.

In 2019, when the scandal surrounding Jung Joon-young first emerged, Choi Tae-joon faced severe criticism from netizens. This was due to his sudden departure from the cast of “Hotel Del Luna” after completing the script reading session. This was a highly anticipated film project featuring the popular idol-actress IU, which presented a significant opportunity for Choi Tae-joon to further his career. However, he withdrew from the project at the last minute, leading to various speculations that his association with Jung Joon-young may have negatively affected the K-drama’s reputation.

At that time, tvN was compelled to release a statement in order to exonerate Choi Tae-joon. The network clarified that Choi had departed from the project due to differences in opinions regarding the direction of the film and his character’s personality. However, this explanation was met with skepticism, as Choi Tae-joon had already taken part in the script reading and had met with the production team, leaving them with the task of finding a replacement hastily.
