The Netflix drama ‘Murderer’s Confusion’ was the subject of controversy over criticism of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. /Photo=’Murderer: A Puzzle’ GalmuriNetflix’s new drama, ‘Murderer: A Puzzle’, was embroiled in an untimely controversy criticizing Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. This is because the chairman of the construction company accused of corruption in the play reminds CEO Lee. Recently, posts with titles such as ‘Murderer and Trouble Lee Jae-myung comes to mind’ and ‘Murderer and Trouble Lee Jae-myung’s Special Appearance’ have spread in online communities. The story is that a character in the drama reminds me of CEO Lee.
The controversial character, Hyung Jeong-guk, is the chairman of Buyeon Construction, a large corporation, and appears in episode 7 of the drama. He is a person who uses his enormous power and wealth to commit all kinds of corruption.
There are several reasons why doubts arose about the portrayal of Representative Lee. First of all, in the drama, Chairman Hyung wears black-rimmed glasses and has slicked back gray hair, which resembles CEO Lee. Also, a scene of eating sushi in prison is mentioned. This is because sushi and beef are menu items that appeared due to allegations of misuse of CEO Lee’s corporate card.
Prisoner number 4421 is also a cause for suspicion. This is because the total sale proceeds raised by Jeil Construction, which received six blocks of Daejang-dong apartment sites from Seongnam City, won 442.1 billion. The scene of eating sushi and the prisoner’s number are also illustrations that do not exist in the original web-man.
For this reason, there are signs of a boycott of the work by fans, claiming that it is deliberately reminiscent of CEO Lee.
Regarding the controversy on the 11th, Netflix said, “We have come across the content floating around on the Internet. The content is baseless,” and added, “In the drama, prisoner no. chairman of ‘Criminal Justice Bureau’ is It’s not a meaningful number. It has nothing to do with a specific person (Lee Jae-myung) “He drew a line.
“Murderer: Toy” tells the story of Lee Tang (Choi Woo-sik), an ordinary college student who starts killing by accident, and the detective “Toy” (Son Seok-gu) who pursues him. It is based on a Naver webpoon that was serialized between July 2010 and June 2011.
