K-Drama Actor Causes Stir by Using Phone Openly During Press Conference
Park Yoo Hoo is facing a hilarious “controversy” after going viral for using a phone nonstop at a K-Drama press conference.
The incident happened during the press event for upcoming romcom Our Universe. While reporters and cast members were busy answering questions, the youngest star, Park Yoo Hoo, didn’t make a single peep or eye contact.
Instead, he was glued to a phone the entire time.

Soon after, clips started flooding social media calling out his “blatant phone use.” The catch? Park Yoo Hoo is just three years old.
The toddler was calmly watching a phone placed on co-star Bae In Hyuk’s lap — likely to keep him entertained during the long adult event.
Fans found it both adorable and funny.

No backlash here. If you’re three and have to sit through a press conference, the phone is a total lifeline.
Park Yoo Hoo stars alongside Bae In Hyuk and Roh Jeong Eui in Our Universe, set to premiere soon.
