Lee Min-Ho’s ‘When The Stars Gossip’ In Trouble; Fans Express Outrage Over Actor’s Controversial Dialogue

Lee Min-ho returned to K-dramas after 4 long years and the wait for worth it. The show has been receiving immense love from audiences, but the controversies are also equal in number.

Lee Min-Ho’s recent comeback series, ‘When the Stars Gossip,’ has been making waves on Netflix. People are loving to see their favourite K-drama actor back doing what he is known for – romance. Despite receiving praise for his chemistry with co-star Gong Hu Jin, a recent episode sparked controversy among fans. The issue arose from a dialogue spoken by Lee Min Ho’s character, Gong Ryong, in the sixth episode.

During a conversation with Commander Eve Kim, played by Gong Hyo Jin, Gong Ryong makes a comment about being an expert in sex and pregnancy. Although the English subtitles provided by Netflix toned down the statement, Korean-speaking viewers were upset upon the actual translation. According to KoreaBoo, the original dialogue was more explicit, stating, “I am the expert at having sex and impregnating.” The translation however read, “When it comes to sex and pregnancy, I’m the expert.”
