Scandal Erupts After Popular Fourth-Generation Idol Is Pressured To Debut As Porn Star

Cignature‘s Jeewon was asked to star in a porn video.

On June 20, reports slammed the popular YouTube show No Bbaku Tak Jae Hoon (romanized from 노빠꾸탁재훈). The controversy stems from their guest’s treatment of Jeewon.

On its most recent episode, the show featured Yuna Ogura, who is a well-known Japanese porn star. During the show, the porn star asked Jeewon to debut as a porn star.

I think you’ll be really popular since your body is so nice. Please debut. I think you can really become a top (porn) actress. Seriously. I will help you.

— Yuna Ogura

The show’s other hosts did their best to deflect Yuna Ogura’s inappropriate pleas, with Tak Jae Hoon pointing out that there are cultural differences between Japan and Korea. Jeewon, meanwhile, played off the request with comedic grace.

I mean, I did debut as a (K-Drama) actor in Korea.

— Jeewon

Despite the fact that Yuna Ogura didn’t mean any malice, Korean outlets criticized the actress and show for pressuring Jeewon.
