When the comments were shared, netizens shared their surprise at the comments and how it seemed rude towards Jisoo, especially how they’d been pushing her when promoting the show.
-
“Jisoo must feel so embarrassed, haha;”
-
“Why would he go out of his way to screw Jisoo over like this…”
-
“LOL the wording is hilarious — basically saying, ‘It doesn’t matter because her screen time is short,’ right?”
-
“????? What does that even mean… Isn’t that kind of disrespectful to Jisoo too..?;;”
Even international fans hit back at the comments when it was shared online.
Director Kim Byung-woo (#ORV) mentioned JISOO in his latest interview.
“It would be good if the backgrounds of great people (like Yi Sun-sin) appeared, but there is an order. …If it weren't for #JISOO, she could become a character that people could not know well about.” pic.twitter.com/IvxvMxkD6s

They hit back at the director for seemingly using Jisoo’s fame and influence for “clout,” and despite her small role, the constant mention of the star has led her to get hate.
