Why can’t I immerse myself in the best drama I’ve seen?”, “Why did you post a photo taken with Kim Soo-hyun? Why are you only posting it now?”, “I’m so disappointed in Kim Sae-ron. You’re also an actor and you know very well that you shouldn’t break viewers’ immersion into a drama created with the hard work of many actors and staff. I hope you truly reflect on yourself and act more mature”, “Can’t you just stay still?”, etc.
Facing criticism from the public, Kim Sae-ron revealed that she would express her position on the controversial selfie soon.
