Recently, a YouTube channel video titled 'Controversy over the Mockery of President Roh Moo-hyun by the original author of the drama 'Manager Kim' has been spreading on online communities. In the video, one participant mentioned a scene from 'lookism,' a masterpiece by webtoon artist Park Tae-joon, raising suspicions of 'Ilbe.' In the scene where the protagonist looks at the stopwatch and says '5 minutes 23 seconds,' since former President Roh Moo-hyun's death date is May 23, 5 minutes means 5 minutes, 5 minutes 30 seconds means 30 seconds. What is 5 minutes and 23 seconds? The creator's perspective is that they simply don't include each of these things one by one. On the sign behind the speech bubble, it says 'Rock Owling,' and it is said that Ilbe-style thinking is embedded across various ages and generations . They subtly added such a phrase without realizing it, which is said to remind people of the passing of former President Roh Moo-hyun. Regarding this controversy, writer Park Tae-joon once explained this in the past, saying, "No matter how lacking I am, Even a human being would neither have the courage nor the authority to do such a thing over a photo of the deceased," he said, directly denying the allegations. While linking Park Tae-joon's past controversies, he has recently been caught in the Ilbe controversy as the original creator of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim,' but strictly speaking, Park Tae-joon is not the original author. ,,,The webtoon 'Manager Kim,' serialized on Naver since 2021, is part of the so-called 'Park Tae-joon Universe' series. While it is indeed a work by Park Tae-joon's comic company The Grim Entertainment, the story was handled by author Toy and the Story of a Man. The artwork was done by artist Jung Jong-taek. The company CEO, Park Tae-jun, was listed as the chief producer of the webtoon, During the revival of Park Tae-joon's past controversies, it was mistakenly believed that 'Manager Kim' was written and illustrated by Park Tae-joon himself, as if he "drew the original webtoon." Through adaptation, 'Manager Kim' became a distinctive The script was written by director Nam Dae-jung of '30 Days' and 'First Ride,' directed by Lee Seung-young of 'Voice 2,' and the ,,, production team inherited the strengths of the original webtoon but enhanced live-action fun with new characters and action direction,,,. In other words, linking Park Tae-joon's past controversy to show signs of a boycott of the drama 'Manager Kim' is an excessive leap that erases the hard work of not only the original writer and the production team who adapted the drama.
