“Perfect Crown” Controversy Escalates As Koreans Now Petition For Its Complete Removal

Perfect Crown has remained controversial among Korean viewers due to criticism surrounding its fictional constitutional monarchy setting, character portrayals, and political implications.

However, instead of stepping back from the project, MBC has now scheduled a marathon rerun of all episodes over two days. The decision quickly drew angry reactions, with several netizens accusing MBC of being shameless.

As reactions continued, many netizens argued that MBC’s decision made the situation worse, as it appeared to signal that the broadcaster had no intention of backing down. The backlash reflects continued frustration from viewers who feel the controversy surrounding Perfect Crown has not been properly addressed.
