Park Min Young Levied With Fierce Backlash As Past Scandal With Gangster Reignites

Netizens reacted to Park Min Young‘s reported new role.

On July 23, JTBC News reported that Park Min Young would be starring in the remake of Japanese drama, Confidence Man.

According to the report, Confidence Man tells the story of a team of vigilantes that steal and fraud criminals out of money ala Robinhood. Park Min Young is reported to be playing a credit fraudster.
