MBC’s #perfectcrown is facing growing backlash as a National Assembly petition calling for the drama’s cancellation rapidly gains support. As of May 25, the petition had gathered around 38,000 signatures in just three days, reaching 77% of the 50,000 needed for official review by the relevant committee.The petition will remain open until June 21.
Although the production team, director Park Joon Hwa, writer Yoo Ji Won, iu, and byeonwooseok issued apologies, edited the scenes for reruns and OTT platforms, criticism has continued, with some viewers still calling for the drama to be removed from VOD and OTT services entirely.
