While many fans were excited about the cameo, some people weren’t as sure about Yoo Yeon Seok’s cameo, which was seemingly linked to his past misogyny controversy. He claimed that if a woman does not wear revealing clothing, he believes that they are not interested in him. Conversely, if a woman wears revealing clothing when with him, he would take it as a positive sign.
While it wasn’t widely spoken about, it led to some fans sharing their negative opinions towards the casting.
