Jeon Jong-seo: A Quick Comeback Amid Controversies Over Poor Acting, School Violence And More

On August 29th, the original TVing series ‘Queen Woo’ will premiere, with Jeon Jong-seo in the lead role. The drama follows the story of Queen Woo, who is hunted by power-hungry princes and five tribes after the king’s unexpected death. Within 24 hours, she must navigate political intrigue and establish a new king. Jeon Jong-seo portrays Queen Woo of Goguryeo and acts alongside Kim Moo-yeol, Jung Yu-mi, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Ji Chang-wook.

Up until this point, Jeon has displayed her talent for acting in a multitude of dramas, showcasing her strengths in portraying a cool and distinct cold demeanor. For the first time, she will take on a role in a historical drama, embodying the unwavering determination and charisma of a queen amidst a fierce battle for power.

Nevertheless, doubts were expressed as Jeon Jong-seo faced criticism for her subpar performance in the recent drama “Wedding Impossible.”Her impassive and unengaging facial expressions were deemed unfitting for a romantic storyline. Furthermore, she received negative feedback for her inadequate delivery of lines.

Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeon, the appearance of her real-life boyfriend, director Lee Choong-hyun, in a cameo role in the final episode of “Wedding Impossible”caused quite a commotion. Some netizens felt that his presence completely ruined the chemistry between Jeon and her on-screen love interest, despite the short duration of his appearance.

Two days after the conclusion of “Wedding Impossible,”Jeon Jong-seo was faced with accusations of school violence. A person who identified themselves as a victim of her bullying behavior posted on an online community, alleging that she had stolen gym clothes and school uniforms from other students and had verbally abused them. In response, her agency denied the claims and threatened legal action. Despite this, the rumors have continued to circulate as several individuals have come forward claiming to be her former classmates and have made allegations against her.

The debate surrounding Jeon’s acting abilities is centered around her involvement in a school violence controversy. The issue at hand is how she or her agency will address the allegations, as remaining silent will only fuel further speculation. All eyes are now on her as she prepares to address the public before the release of her upcoming film, “Queen Woo.”
