1. The Incident: An Unprecedented Situation at the Stage Greeting
On September 19, at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae, Busan, the ‘Wedding Banquet’ stage greeting for the 30th Busan International Film Festival was held. The audience was already excited to see the internationally acclaimed actress Youn Yuh-jung. However, the problems started right away. ⏰
Youn Yuh-jung only appeared 13 minutes after the scheduled time! The host explained this as “due to unexpected traffic congestion in Busan,” but… she proceeded with the stage greeting without any apology. (Um… did she bring an apology sticker or something?)
2. Traffic Jam vs Professionalism: Who is Right?
What’s interesting here is that other actors were also late due to traffic issues on the same day. However, in Youn Yuh-jung’s case:
- 🔹 Late at an international event
- 🔹 No official apology
- 🔹 No consideration for the time the audience waited
This aspect is particularly controversial. Experts point out that “anticipating the traffic situation and taking measures in advance during large events is part of being a professional.” According to Korean entertainment etiquette, it is basic to at least apologize when late!
3. Comparison with Foreign Actors: Milla Jovovich’s Shocking Reaction
At the same film festival, Milla Jovovich appeared right on schedule and thanked the audience. There are even whispers that she advanced her rehearsal time saying, “I can’t make fans wait”! 🌟
The difference in attitude between the two actresses is so stark that netizens are reacting with comments like, “The true demeanor of a global star,” and “Professionals are different.” (But wait, Youn Yuh-jung has also worked abroad for a while…? This was quite unexpected!)
4. Netizens’ Reactions: “That’s Just Her Personality” vs “Basic Manners Are Essential”
The reactions of netizens to this incident are largely divided into two camps:
Supporters’ Opinions:
“Youn Yuh-jung has a straightforward and honest personality, so we should understand her”
“Traffic jams are unpredictable; isn’t it too harsh?”
Opponents’ Opinions:
“It’s disappointing not to uphold basic manners at an international event”
“Being 13 minutes late without an apology violates professional standards.”
What do you think? (I… hmm… I wonder why she made such a situation by not just giving a simple apology 😅)
5. FAQ: Answering Your Questions!
Q. Why didn’t Youn Yuh-jung apologize?
