Who Will Take On The Acting? Major K-Drama Casting Faces Harsh Backlash
Byeon Woo Seok is facing backlash over casting in Netflix’s upcoming K-Drama Solo Leveling.
The controversy began after the main cast was announced. Byeon Woo Seok will play Sung Jin Woo, the weak hunter turned powerful hero. Han So Hee is set as Cha Hae In. Kang Yoo Seok will be Yoo Jin Ho. Kang Mina also joined, but her role is still unknown.
Fans quickly voiced their opinions online. Many think the actors don’t fit the iconic webtoon looks. Others doubt their acting skills will meet expectations for such a huge project.
The story is about hunters fighting monsters. Sung Jin Woo’s character is key, and casting him right matters a lot. Netizens are not impressed with Byeon Woo Seok’s choice.
“No, but he can’t use his body well, though…”
