Jeon Jong-seo To Make A Quick Comeback Amid Controversies Over Poor Acting, School Violence And More

Jeon Jong-seo took the lead role in the original TVing series ‘Queen Woo’, which will be released for the first time on August 29th. ‘Queen Woo’ is a chase-action historical drama in which Queen Woo, who is targeted by princes seeking the throne and five tribes seeking power due to the sudden death of the king, struggles to establish a new king within 24 hours. In the drama, Jeon Jong-seo will play the role of Queen Woo of Goguryeo and work with Kim Moo-yeol, Jung Yu-mi, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Ji Chang-wook.

Until now, Jeon has shown her acting skills through various dramas. Her cool expression and unique cold acting were her strengths. In this work, she will try acting in a historical drama for the first time and show the charisma of the queen with a strong will amid a huge power struggle.

However, concerns were raised as Jeon Jong-seo recently suffered from controversy over her poor acting skills in the recent drama “Wedding Impossible.” Her cool and dull facial expression were deemed unsuitable for a romance drama. In addition, she was criticized for her poor ability to deliver her lines.

Jeon’s controversy continued as in the last episode of “Wedding Impossible,” director Lee Choong-hyun, Jeon’s real lover, made a cameo appearance, which caused a stir. Although it was just a short cameo appearance, some netizens criticized that her real boyfriend appearing in her romance drama completely destroy her chemistry with the male lead.

And two days after “Wedding Impossible” ended, she was also embroiled in suspicions of school violence. A, who claims to be a victim of her bullying actions, posted on an online community, claiming that she stole other students’ gym clothes and school uniforms and swore at them. In response, Jeon Jong-seo’s agency denied it and warned of taking legal actions. However, the rumor has not cooled down as a number of testimonies and advocacy posts claiming to be her alumni have been made to accuse her.

Controversy over acting skills is something that can be proven through a work, and the problem is Jeon’s school violence controversy. If she remains silent behind her agency, suspicions are not resolved. Attention is focusing on what she will say to the public before the release of “Queen Woo.”
