Popular Netflix K-Drama Finally Addresses “Absurd” Error That Sparked Massive Controversy

The team behind Netflix’s trending historical K-Drama Bon Appétit Your Majesty has officially spoken up after facing backlash for a mistake viewers described as “absurd.”

The error, which went viral online last week, involved the incorrect use of Hanja meant to spell out Tae Pyeong Seong Dae.

On Monday, the production team released a public statement acknowledging the issue and promising corrections. The producers further explained that the corrected version would be reflected in reruns as well as on streaming platforms.

They also assured viewers that stronger review measures will be implemented to prevent similar problems in the future.

In the first episode, there was an error in the way Taepyeongseongdae was written in Chinese characters. The staff has confirmed the problem and is now working to fix it. Once the revisions are completed, they will be reflected in reruns and on-demand services. We will be more careful during production and review processes to ensure such errors do not happen again. We apologize for the confusion.

The mistake initially drew ridicule on social media, with many questioning how such an obvious slip could have gone unnoticed through multiple stages of filming, editing, and release. While some fans found humor in the blunder, others worried about how it might reflect on the show internationally.

With the apology now issued, attention has shifted to how swiftly the corrections will be rolled out, and whether the controversy will impact the show’s growing popularity.

Meanwhile, the show has already broken records with its very first episode, and is ranking very high on Netflix US and UK.
