Korean Netizens Shocked At Park Min Young’s Revealing “Office Look” In “Marry My Husband”

Park Min Young, a popular figure in the Korean entertainment industry, has been embroiled in personal controversy recently — drawing scrutiny toward both her and her latest hit K-Drama, Marry My Husband. However, it’s her on-screen attire that has now sparked an even greater wave of shock among Korean netizens.

The reason for the shock primarily revolves around an outfit deemed too revealing for an office setting. In a particular episode, Park Min Young appears in an ensemble that boldly challenges the conventional office attire norms in South Korea.

The outfit features a design that leaves her entire shoulder and collarbone exposed, deviating markedly from the traditional, conservative office wear.

Such a daring fashion choice in a professional setting has stirred a significant reaction on social media. On the popular community site theqoo, a post discussing her outfit garnered over 60,000 views and sparked more than 700 comments. Netizens expressed their astonishment and amusement in various ways.

• “I’m sweating just thinking about wearing something like that to my workplace, LOL.”
• “I get how the scriptwriter might not have known. But the producer must be working in an office setting somewhere, no? How did this outfit get approved?! Haha.”
• “Maybe if she got into a fight on her way to work and someone ripped half her top off, then fine.”

• “LOLOLOLOL.”
• “The unnies at the office would send me home immediately, for sure. Haha.”
• “WTF? LOL.”
• “Who ripped her shirt off? Pfft.”
• “An outfit like that would put me in the center of the entire company’s attention all day. LOL.”
• “HAHA.”
• “If I wore something like that to work, my co-workers would ask me if I had a fancy party to go to after work. Or they might think I’d finally lost it after dealing with something really difficult and they wouldn’t even try talking to me all day.”
• “Literally who wears that to work…”
• “To the office…? Dress like that to work and the entire company would be talking about you even before you walk through the security check…”
• “What the f*ck, HAHA.”

This controversy around her attire comes amidst a scandal involving Park Min Young and her controversial ex-boyfriend Kang Jong Hyun.

Dispatch recently revealed that she lied about receiving money from Kang, who is accused of embezzling over ₩60.0 billion KRW (approximately $45.7 million USD) from Bithumb and its affiliates.

Marry My Husband has not been immune to the repercussions of this scandal. The show has witnessed a decrease in viewership, with many fans stating they would be boycotting it. The latest ratings show a dip from 7.6% in episode 4 to 7.4%. While not a drastic fall, it’s a significant trend, marking the first time the K-Drama has lost viewers.

The intertwining of her controversial wardrobe choice with the ongoing scandal has certainly impacted the public perception of both the actress and the K-Drama.
